Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Violent Ends (2025)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Production offices for Violent Ends were set up on July 13, 2023, and the next day the actors' union SAG-AFTRA went on strike, shutting the film down. An interim agreement let it resume in mid-September, days before the crew would have had to delay filming to 2024.
- Because actors could not be approached with offers during the SAG-AFTRA strike, casting directors Lindsay Graham-Ahanonu and Liz Coulon had to hire the entire cast of Violent Ends in four weeks, including James Badge Dale, who was immediately available.
- Writer-director John-Michael Powell completed the first draft of the screenplay, then titled The Killing Kind, in 2013. It was "a few weeks away from shooting" in 2017 when the production "fell apart", so he instead made the microbudget film The Send-Off (2022) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Powell's earlier film The Send-Off won the Audience Award at the Arkansas Cinema Society's Filmland, and that prize came with a grant from Panavision which he used to partially fund Violent Ends.
