The movie was filmed in Louisville, Kentucky, despite the actual events taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana, due to Kentucky's more favorable film tax credits.
The project was in development for several years, with Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage at one point attached to direct and star, respectively.
