Paul Bettany was cast as Swede, Jennifer Connelly as his wife and Evan Rachel Wood as their daughter. All dropped out in 2004, after the movie spent many years in development. After 10 years, Connelly returned in the lead role, alongside Ewan McGregor.
Ewan McGregor's feature directorial debut.
Ewan McGregor insisted on rehearsals and clearing the set for the actors to become familiar with each other and their characters so they could comfortably work together before shooting any scenes.
During the shoot Ewan McGregor would hone his New Jersey accent by listening to recordings of Ray Liotta dialog while on location.
The novel that inspired the film won author Philip Roth the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1998.
"[last lines] Nathan Zuckerman: [narrating funeral] You come at people with an open mind, and yet you never fail to get them wrong. You get them wrong while you're with them, or you tell someone about them and get them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive. We are wrong. About the Swede, how life was going to open its arms and shower blessings upon him, I was never more wrong about anyone in my life."
"Swede Levov: You were involved in something there, something political. Merry Levov: Everything is political. Brushing your teeth is political."
