Trivia / Matchstick Men

• Channel Hop: At one point, the film was originally set up at DreamWorks SKG, due to Robert Zemeckis having a production deal. But DreamWorks turned down and it was taken to Warner Bros. instead. Zemeckis remained on as Executive Producer, however.
• Dawson Casting: Alison Lohman was 24 when playing teen-age Angela except her character is much older in-universe and part of an elaborate con on Roy.
• What Could Have Been: At one point, in its development stages before Ridley Scott was hired, Steven Spielberg was asked to direct, but he turned down so he could direct Catch Me If You Can instead.
