TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

For Manchester scenes (filmed on actual streets in the USA), any overly "American" curbside items (like certain fire hydrants) were hidden by dropping bottom-less slatted metal trash cans over them and then adding prop "English" rubbish; however, extras and crew unaware of this subtle artful touch continuously filled the apparently-normal-looking receptacles with their own trash. Between filming sessions, rueful set dressers would have to remove a foot-high layer of discarded plastic water bottles (and then reset and fluff the "official" rubbish).

The plot is set in various international locations: Manchester (United Kingdom), Samarra and Balad (Iraq), Qatar's US Military Base, Amman (Jordan), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Langley and Washington DC (United States), Dubai (United Arab Emirates), Incirlik (Turkey), Vienna (Austria) and Dar'a (Syria) but the actual filming locations were only Morocco and United States.

Carice van Houten played the character of Roger's wife Gretchen Ferris, but all her scenes were deleted in the final cut. The movie does provide dialogue that distills the story in the book, when Roger says they are getting divorced because "I was a bad husband and she was a worse wife".

For Manchester Scenes (filmed in a gritty and real American slum), actual English "police line" tape was used. Its distinctive blue and white coloration contrasts with US-style police tape which is yellow with black text. Comparison was easy because occasional stray bits of American police line tape from past actual crime scenes were among the real neighborhood's windblown street debris littering the edges of the filming area.

The Amsterdam scene in the picture was shot at Eastern Market, a historic marketplace in Southeast Washington, DC, which hosts weekend food and flea market vendors. It was shot on a hot September day, though extras had to suffer wearing heavy clothing for what was supposed to be a cool fall day. The car explosions were done practically, on set - not special effects.
