Production
The film was shot nearly entirely in Durham, North Carolina in April and May 2009.[5] The screenplay was written by Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Horton Foote after he found downtown Durham empty on a weekend visit several years earlier.[6]
Myriad Pictures bought the international distribution rights in May 2009. The film was promoted at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival by its producers and stars.[7][8]
