- We never learn the last names of the main characters Jim, Selena, Hannah, and Frank
- Ewan McGregor and Ryan Gosling were both early choices to play the role of Jim
- The film crew had not immediately picked up the fake dead bodies from the execution pit after filming was wrapped up. A woman driving saw them and crashed her car after freaking out, and the police had to come out.
- Danny Boyle (director) and Alex Garland (writer) re-imagined the "zombie genre" while making this. They focused on more contemporary societal-level fears, like a viral apocalypse, which were inspired by bio-attacks involving anthrax and mad-cow diesease.
- Additionally, the virus was imagined to affect people "differently" with rage they he or she have already had inside. The 'rage'/ infection idea was based on the idea that everyone may experience social rages - like road rage, or workplace rage, in one form or another.
