Trivia / Away We Go

• The Other Marty: Toni Collette dropped out due scheduling conflicts. Maggie Gyllenhaal took over her role.
• Playing Against Type: This is a breather film for director Sam Mendes. While he has contained themes explored in his previous films (such as screwed up families), Mendes has usually done sombre, bittersweet and tragic films (even the James Bond film Skyfall is a tragedy). This one, however is the complete opposite of his output with him delivering a hopeful and light-hearted film with an optimistic ending.
