FILM 2013: MOVIE 43
TRIVIA: The movie was filmed over a span of four years. Production took so long because filming had to be done around the actors' busy schedules. The segment with Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman was the first to be filmed, and producer Charles B. Wessler used it to secure the financing for the rest of the movie. He called in a lot of favors to get as many high-profile actors as possible for the other short films, most of them willing to work for a few days on something unconventional. However, almost none of the actors knew completely what the other segments were about, or how the full movie would be. When it came out, none of the major actors wanted to promote it.
Anton Yelchin originally played a necrophiliac, in a segment called The Apprentice (2014), directed by Steve Baker and Damon Escott. The segment was removed, due to the highly offensive subject matter.
Not screened in advance for critics, because Rouge Pictures was afraid of bad reviews making audiences miss the film. The film was ultimately considered as one of the worst films ever made.
Colin Farrell was originally cast as The Leprechaun.
Sam Rockwell was originally attached to reprise his role as Batman in the superhero segment (which was intended to be a sequel to the short film Robin's Big Date (2005)) but pulled out to do Seven Psychopaths (2012) instead.
Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts play a married couple in this movie. At the time, they were married in real life.
