Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Stay (2005)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Marc Forster built in details like the exact length of a character's trousers and what he wears on his feet, and staged what look like continuity errors, in the style of Nicolas Roeg's films, that were actually deliberate clues tied to the plot.
- Director Marc Forster stretched Stay's editing over several stages and took time off to promote his other 2004 film, Finding Neverland, so the two releases would not compete, delaying Stay's final cut until January 2005.
