Trivia:
Aside from a 15 second flashback, the film makes virtually no mention of the awful childhood that Richard Kuklinski endured. His parents were both deeply violent people, with his father actually accidentally beating his older brother to death. In real life, this played out into Kuklinski becoming a very violent person himself. The film completely glosses over the fact that he regularly beat his own wife.
To emulate the real Richard Kuklinski's voice, Michael Shannon listened to TV interviews and the HBO documentary, America Undercover: The Iceman Tapes: Conversations with a Killer (1992).
Maggie Gyllenhaal was initially cast as Deborah Kuklinski, but dropped out due to pregnancy. She was replaced by Winona Ryder.
To make her performance as the oblivious wife authentic, Winona Ryder removed all the pages of the screenplay that didn't involve her.
