Movie Quote(s):
  • Douglas J. Ames: Everybody has fears... now, what scares you? Lillith Sullivan: Me. Douglas J. Ames: You scare yourself? Lillith Sullivan: Sometimes. Douglas J. Ames: Why? What about yourself scares you? Lillith Sullivan: I have bad thoughts. Douglas J. Ames: About what? Lillith Sullivan: People. Douglas J. Ames: People in general or... certain people? Lillith Sullivan: Certain people. Douglas J. Ames: Like who? Lillith Sullivan: You. Douglas J. Ames: You have bad thoughts about me? Why? Lillith Sullivan: I just do. Douglas J. Ames: Did I do something or say something that upset you? Lillith Sullivan: It's just... the way you are. Douglas J. Ames: How am I? Lillith Sullivan: Facile. Douglas J. Ames: Facile? Pfff... do you even know what that means? Lillith Sullivan: Easily comprehended, often lacking sincerity or depth. You're smug to... want me to tell you what that means? Douglas J. Ames: Uhm, If I... seem smug or facile, I want... Lillith Sullivan: Don't apologize. Douglas J. Ames: Why not? Lillith Sullivan: You're a grown-up... it's embarrassing.
  • Lillith Sullivan: Number 12, I worry about what's going to happen. Yes or no? Douglas J. Ames: You want me to answer that? Lillith Sullivan: Yes or no Douglas J. Ames: No Lillith Sullivan: That should be a yes.
  • Emily Jenkins: What does she want? Edward Sullivan: To know what your idea of hell is... and make you live there.
  • Edward Sullivan: They say when you're born you're given your eternal soul. The part of you that lives on, lives again. Whatever evil she is,didn't come from us. It was already there. From the moment she came into being, she brought something with her. Something older, destructive. Soul of a demon.
Movie Trivia:
  • Chloe Moretz and Isabelle Fuhrman were considered for the part of Lillith.
  • While shooting one of the fire scenes for the movie, a special effect fire got out of control and burned the whole set down, including the studio stage it was built into and almost all of the crew's equipment. Nobody was seriously injured and filming resumed the very next day with equipment being hauled in from all over the world.
  • Director Trademark: [Christian Alvart] [mirror shot] As Doug (Bradley Cooper) pulls hornets out of his right ear with a cotton swab, Doug is reflected by three mirrors, effectively showing him four times from all angles (and the hornets as well).
  • With one exception, all the shots with Renée Zellweger being close to and around fire are real (practical effects). The one CG-enhanced shot is the wide angle of her sitting passively on the couch while the room was burning around her. This was shot twice: Once with her and no fire and once with fire and no Renée.
  • The film was completed in 2007. It took 3 years for it to finally get released in the United States.
