Trivia / Abduction of Eden

• Dawson Casting: Eden is eighteen when she is first abducted, whereas Jamie Chung was in her late twenties. Of course the film also covers several years.
• Executive Meddling: Defied on the part of the producers. The film struggled to get funding for ages because studios wanted to put in a White Male Lead to rescue Eden.
• Reality Subtext: Eden is forced to pretend to be Chinese. Jamie Chung has frequently been cast as Chinese-Americans, despite being Korean.
• Tom Hanks Syndrome: Jamie Chung's first serious dramatic role.
• What Could Have Been: Producers and writers kept trying to insert a white male cop as the lead and love interest.
