Producer Thomas Langmann is the son of Claude Berri, the writer-director the original In a Wild Moment (1977).
The film's two male lead stars, Vincent Cassel and François Cluzet, are two of France's two biggest box-office stars, and had never teamed together in a movie until this picture.
Vincent Cassel's character, who has the affair, has similarly curly wavy hair like Michael Caine did, who also had the affair in Blame It on Rio (1984), both films being remakes of In a Wild Moment (1977).
