What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on Jo Nesbø's novel "Headhunters" (Hodejegerne, 2008).
  • Class Greve's (played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) dog is an Argentine Dogo (this is the first and so far only officially recognized breed of dog bred in Argentina). Keeping dogs of this breed at home is prohibited in Norway.
  • The film contains several references to the Millennium detective series by Swedish author Stieg Larsson. On the night Roger (played by Aksel Hennie) returns home late, the character played by Synnøve Macody Lund is watching the second film in the series – “The Girl Who Played with Fire” (Daniel Alfredson, 2009) on television. In addition, some scenes include aerial footage from David Fincher's “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” (2011). The scene where a car drives across the bridge also uses footage from Fincher’s film, simply replacing the car from “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” with a car carrying Hennie’s character using digital technology.
  • Finding actors for the roles of the Monsen twin brothers, who serve in the police, turned out to be difficult. It was necessary for them to be literally indistinguishable, and for each to weigh over 100 kg. Eventually, the casting directors found Gunnar Skramstad Jonsen and Lars Skramstad Jonsen.
  • In the novel of the same name by Jo Nesbø, which served as the literary source for the screenplay, the heroine, played by Synnøve Macody Lund, has a Prada mobile phone with a Beatles track set as her ringtone. In the film, both the phone and the ringtone are simpler.
