The story for this film had existed for several years before it was made and was originally conceived as a sequel to
The Mover (2005). It was twice nearly filmed in that form in 2006 and 2008 but was reworked into an original screenplay in 2010 as
Sam Hughes was unavailable to reprise the role of the Mover due to his touring commitments with his band Sansara. The rewritten script allowed
Don Graham,
George Hughes and
Rob Green- all of whom were in the earlier film- to appear as different characters in this one. The victim played by
Jamie Tubbs in the black and white flashback during the pre- title sequence wears the same costume
Ed Wilkinson wore in The Mover because it was one of the first scenes shot when the film was still going to be "The Mover 2".
