Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Grand (2007)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The actors in Zak Penn's The Grand played real poker matches on set while the scenes were filmed, and because the script never named a winner, the film's ending was decided by the outcome of the actual game.
- Zak Penn styled The Grand after Christopher Guest's films: each actor was given direction about their character but left to improvise every individual scene, and the plot was more open-ended than Guest's work.
