In a 2008 interview, Charlize Theron said taking her clothes off in front of cameras in this and any other film is is as easy as drinking for her. "I don't really think about it much. I read the scene and if it makes sense I do it. I treat it the same way as I would any other scene. Whether it's a nude moment or sitting at a bar drinking, it's all choices. I don't think about it as nudity."
The title can be translated to Spanish as "El Llano en Llamas", the title of Juan Rulfo's short story collection, one of Mexico's most famous writers.
Writer and director Guillermo Arriaga stated that the 4 elements - earth, fire, wind and water - are intentionally present during the entire film.
In this film, JD Pardo and Danny Pino play the same character at different ages. Ten years later in 2018, they star opposite each other in the FX series Mayans M.C. (2018).
The film cast includes three Oscar winners: Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Basinger.
