What's left behind the scenes
- To play the main role in the film, Emil Hirsch lost 18 kilograms.
- According to Sean Penn himself, he had been working towards filming this movie for almost ten years. He read Krakauer’s book in one night in 1996, after which he immediately began negotiations with McCandless’s parents about adapting it for the screen. However, when everything was ready for filming, the parents refused.
- The first film directed by Sean Penn not starring his wife, Robin Wright.
- When Sean Penn first became eager to make this film (which happened immediately after reading Jon Krakauer's book, published in 1996), he envisioned Leonardo DiCaprio in the role of McCandless and Marlon Brando as Ron Franz.
- The film was shot entirely on location, meaning in the places where McCandless lived and suffered. The film crew had to travel to Alaska four times to capture all the seasons.
- Davey Chase auditioned for the role of Tracy but did not get it.
- All the original songs in the film are performed by Eddie Vedder, the frontman of the grunge band Pearl Jam.
- The moose that Christopher killed in the film was actually found dead in Alaska.
- The scene where a bear approaches Chris, but Chris doesn't react and the bear leaves, directly references Jack London's story "Love of Life," which described the exact same situation.
- All the original songs in the film are performed by Eddie Vedder, the frontman of the grunge band “Pearl Jam”.
- Filming took place from April 24 to November 4, 2006.
- The scene where a bear approaches Chris, but Chris doesn't react to it and the bear leaves, directly references Jack London's story “Love of Life,” where exactly the same situation was described.
