Lake Bell, who is vegan, said that filming conditions were so stressful that one day she actually ate a lobster for dinner after filming ended, saying, "Listen, I earned this shit!"
Katie Aselton said that filming was such a nightmare on location, but Lake Bell and Kate Bosworth were wonderful to work with. They all had the right attitude and toughed it out together, especially when they had to strip naked and huddle together for hours to shoot one scene in the freezing cold.
When Katie Aselton pitched the film to Lake Bell, whom she already knew, Bell agreed to come on board right after reading the script. Then Bell suggested Kate Bosworth for the third lead, but Aselton wasn't sure. She didn't feel like it was her type of movie because she's such a chic actress. Aselton didn't think she'd be interested in crawling through the mud. But after she met with Bosworth, Bosworth got really excited about it and wanted to be part of it. Aselton said she ended up being the perfect choice for the role.
Lake Bell said that after they finished filming this dark, intense thriller, she, Katie Aselton and Kate Bosworth all chose comedies to do next.
Since she had to act in the nude scene alongside Lake Bell and Kate Bosworth, director Katie Aselton told AV Club during an interview that she had to rely on her director of photography Hillary Spera to get the shots right. Also, Aselton and the other actresses wanted to avoid reshoots because they didn't want to be fully naked any longer than necessary. Aselton and Spera had a long planning session where they discussed composing the shot and lighting. Aselton joked that her main rule was "No cooter shots."
