Michael Keaton's directorial debut.
Screenwriter Ron Lazzeretti was also supposed to direct the film. But at the last minute, Lazzaretti suffered a ruptured appendix, and Michael Keaton offered to direct instead, rather then watch the film get cancelled. Keaton had long expressed an interest in directing, and this film seemed to be the perfect opportunity.
Unlike the other characters, Frank (Michael Keaton) never asks Kate (Kelly Macdonald) how she got a black eye.
Filmed in twenty-six days.
This film is the basis for a lawsuit regarding Keaton's accused intentional shelving of the release. Law students study this case in their first year of Law School.
