Trivia

This should have been the second film in which Colin Firth and Rachel Weisz worked together, but in fact it is the first one: back in 2006, they both signed on to star in "The Colossus", a project which was going to be directed by Sean Mathias, however, the film never went ahead and the production was cancelled.
