Shia LeBeouf and Channing Tatum had just one day to get to know each other, despite playing childhood friends. They decided to go out and get drunk on the streets of New York City. They remain good friends to this day.
Writer and Director Dito Montiel was initially reluctant to cast Shia LaBeouf in the role of young Dito, because Montiel was intent on casting an unknown.

He came into the casting office, punched a hole in the wall, and convinced Montiel that he could bring the requisite amount of anger to the role.
Channing Tatum revealed that he read the script while in the bath, and that it made him burst into tears.
