Trivia / Adrift (2006)

• California Doubling: Set off the coast of Mexico, but filmed in Malta.
• Dolled-Up Installment: The film was written before the theatrical release of Open Water, but, although maintaining its original title in most of Europe and Australia, was retitled Open Water 2: Adrift, or just Open Water 2, in the United States and Germany despite only having a thematic similarity to Open Water in that both feature people stuck in the middle of the ocean.
• Follow the Leader: The screenplay was written prior to the theatrical release of Open Water, but the film was produced in no small part due to the success of Open Water.
• Foreign Remake: In 2017 there was a Portuguese remake under the name Perdidos, which only fixed a few details of the 2006 film, notably the ending having a much clearer ending with Amy/Ana surviving and being saved with their baby).
• Word of God: In some versions of the film, there are captions at the end of the credits which explain that Dan, Amy, and the baby survive, but Dan and Amy never see each other again.
