1* ApprovalOfGod: Steven Gould approved of the film's changes.
2* CreatorBacklash: Creator/JamieBell hated working on the film.
3* RomanceOnTheSet: Creator/HaydenChristensen and Creator/RachelBilson fell in love while filming the film. They would remain a couple until splitting up in 2017.
4* FatalMethodActing: Set dresser David Ritchie was crushed to death by frozen debris as an exterior set was being dismantled.
5* StarDerailingRole: While Creator/HaydenChristensen had been the subject of much mockery for his performances in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' prequels, he still had just enough credibility from ''Film/ShatteredGlass'' and a few other lower-profile films to still get major roles in the years that followed. The underwhelming critical and audience response to this film (and, to a lesser extent, the previous year's ''Film/{{Awake|2007}}'') finally derailed his career as a leading man completely.
6* StillbornFranchise: Sequels were planned, but although the film performed moderately well at the box office despite unfavourable critical reception, it has been put on DevelopmentHell. The closest to it would happen in 2018 with the TV series ''Series/{{Impulse|2018}}''.
7* TechnologyMarchesOn: Inverted. In the book, David had to keep videos of places he hasn't been to in a while in order to teleport to them. Here David just uses photographs posted all over his apartment.
8* ThoseTwoActors: While not appearing on-screen with either, Creator/KristenStewart got two: Creator/JamieBell who she was in ''Undertow (2004)'' with and Creator/MaxThieriot who she was in ''Film/CatchThatKid'' with—also in 2004.
9* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/TomSturridge and Creator/TeresaPalmer were considered for the roles of David and Millie respectively.
