TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

This film is based on the book of the same name written by James Sallis.
The main character's name is never revealed in the film.
Originally Hugh Jackman was cast as Driver, but was later replaced by Ryan Gosling. When Gosling was brought on board he specifically asked that Nicolas Winding Refn be brought on as the director.
This marks the first time that director Nicolas Winding Refn has directed a movie that he didn't also write himself.
Ron Perlman's knee was shattered by a wave while filming a scene in the ocean.
In order to prepare for his role, Ryan Gosling restored the 1973 Chevy Malibu driven by his character in the film himself.
