- Bateman was initially slated to direct as well as produce and star. When screenwriters Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley were hired to rewrite Perez's script, it became clear to Bateman that the two would also want to direct, so he stepped down.
- While Daley and Goldstein did not receive screenwriter credit, they later said they rewrote almost all of the original script's dialogue, totally overhauled the characters, most notably a creepy cop portrayed by Jesse Plemons, and comprehensively reworked the third act.
