• The Coen brothers' draft of the script was originally written in the early 2000s, but the project became stuck in development hell after several directors dropped out. Despite several uncredited rewrites that removed many of their contributions, the Coens were still given sole writing credit.
• While ostensibly a remake of Gambit (1966), the plot of this version is actually quite different.
• Hugh Grant, Sandra Bullock, and Sir Ben Kingsley were originally attached to play Harry Deane, P.J. Puznowski, and Lionel Shabandar.
