Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe seem to be as inseparable a pair as Johnny Depp and Tim Burton these days, but one of their next projects together might...
Russell Crowe is in negotiations to reteam with his "The Quick and the Dead" co-star Leonardo DiCaprio in Ridley Scott's spy thriller "Body of Lies"...
- DiCaprio chose to pursue the role because he considered it a throwback to political films in the 1970s such as The Parallax View (1974) and Three Days of the Condor (1975).
- Crowe lost 30 pounds to suit his role. The actor said as a result of the film's exploration of the American government and foreign policy, "I don’t think it will be very popular, but that’s never been part of my project choice process.".
- Mark Strong ascribed his acquisition of the role to his performances in the 2005 films Syriana and Oliver Twist.
- Both the novel and the film were previously titled "Penetration".
- Scott sought to film in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, but the federation's National Media Council denied the director permission due to the script's politically sensitive nature. As a result, scenes set in the Middle East were instead filmed in Morocco.
- Part of a Washington DC neighborhood was converted to resemble a wintry Amsterdam to film ten to fifteen seconds of a car bombing.
- Locations in Baltimore also stood in for Manchester, England and Munich, Germany.
