Trivia / The Disappearance of Alice Creed

• No Budget: The sources vary, but various estimations put it between 500 to 800 thousand dollars. And most of it was spend on distribution and marketing.
• Scully Box: Eddie Marsan is only 1 cm taller than Martin Compston, so various camera and stage tricks were used to make him look more imposing and taller, ranging from padded clothing to actual box.
• Serendipity Writes the Plot:
  • The entire scenario started as a mental exercise of writing a thriller contained within a single set, to lower production costs to bare minimum. Half-way through the script writer and director realised it might actually work out.
  • This helped out with getting financial support from the Isle of Man government. The only requirement was to film on the island, but thanks to the extreme minimalism it was perfectly possible to film there and set the story wherever the filmmakers pleased.
