Russian release of the film.

Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, two of the writers of the
screenplay for this movie, named several of the characters in this film
after faculty members from Baylor University, where the two went to college.
Morgan Freeman's character is named Sloan, which was the last name of the
Head of the University who was forced to resign while they were attending.
In addition the first person that Wesley has to kill is Robert Darden,
this is the name of the professor who taught the writing class in which
the writing duo first met each other. Darden is also the name of the victim
in 3:10 To Yuma and 2 Fast 2 Furious, two other films written
by the pair.
