Trivia / Outlander (2008)

• Adored by the Network: Spanish TV channels used to be awfully smitten with this film, to the point that it almost became a meme in Spain.
• Awesome, Dear Boy: Jack Huston basically outright stated that he did the film for this reason: because playing a Viking is "every boy's dream."
• Box Office Bomb: Made $7 million from its $17 million budget.
• California Doubling: Set in Norway, filmed in Canada.
• Creator Killer: To date, Howard McCain has only made a single short film, and otherwise seems to have left the film industry along with co-writer Dick Blackman.
• Extremely Lengthy Creation: This film was a long-time passion project of writer-director McCain, who'd been trying to get it made since the mid-1990s.
