Rooney Mara was originally cast but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Kaya Scodelario replaced her in the lead role.
In early stages, Rachel Weisz was rumored to star alongside Rooney Mara.
In January 2020 director Francesca Gregorini filed a lawsuit against M. Night Shyamalan and Tony Basgallop saying they stole the idea for their Apple TV+ series Servant (2020) from this film. Shyamalan and Basgallop both denied the charge saying they had never seen this film and it was just a coincidence.
Originally titled "Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes."
Katia Scodelario, Kaya Scodelario's mother, makes an uncredited appearance early in the movie as a tram passenger.
"[first lines] Emanuel: My name is Emanuel. I'm 17 years old and I killed my mother. I had her sliced open, like a goat for the slaughter, to get me pulled out. As she bled, the doctor pushed air into my lungs and pressed his hands repeatedly onto my chest, with the same rhythmic, repetitive motion that he used to jerk himself off that very morning. It worked. He came and I came. Back to life. Emanuel: The fact that my mother lost her life for this - for me - is probably just a side note. The cost of doing business. But it's me who pays. It's on my tab. And it accumulates interest with every passing year. My point is, there's no place for me. Because I'm not supposed to be here. Maybe if I was some sort of Olympic athlete, or a genius scientist. But I'm not. I'm not any of those things. I'm just a girl. A murderer without a motive. So I serve my time, waiting for my sentence to be up."
"Claude: What's that on your arm? Emanuel: My name. Claude: Emanuel. Isn't that the boy's spelling? Emanuel: They thought I was going to be a boy. Claude: [chuckles] But you're not. Emanuel: Reality's overrated. Claude: So why do you have your name tattooed on your arm? Emanuel: Because if I get separate from my bag, I'll still know who I am."
