Did you know
• During their first Walkie Talkie session Jesse states the Sandman would not come after Sam insisting that he would be his target. This is a hint towards the aliens motive later on.
• J.K. Simmons was cast at very short notice for his key small role as Pollard. Not counting his brief appearance near the ending (a few seconds, no more) of the movie, Simmons time in the movie just lasts for 10 minutes.
• Keri Russell was the first choice for the female lead.
