1* BoxOfficeBomb: The film cost anywhere between $8 million and $13 to produce and grossed 1.2 million.
2* DoingItForTheArt: According to Creator/TerryGilliam, Creator/MattDamon and Creator/BenWhishaw worked for scale just to be in this film, thus bringing the production in on schedule for a fraction of its original budget.
3* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: As usual with Creator/TerryGilliam's bad luck. Production was meant to begin in 2009, but due to the TroubledProduction of ''Film/TheImaginariumOfDoctorParnassus'' (especially so following the death of Creator/HeathLedger) meant it was pushed back to late 2012.
4* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
5** Creator/BillMurray was offered a role but had to decline because of scheduling conflicts.
6** This was originally announced with Creator/EwanMcGregor starring, and in a later incarnation, had Creator/BillyBobThornton, Creator/AlPacino and Creator/JessicaBiel lined up to star.
