Scandinavia's most expensive film production ever.
On 21 June 2007, executive producer Johan Mardell confirmed that the film ran over budget during production.
Swedish Public Service (SVT) withdrew support from the project only months before it's release, citing lack of quality and unsatisfying amount of material as main reasons. The studio (SF) instead claimed the disagreement was due to budget concerns. Rival broadcaster TV4 stepped in as co-financier.
