Did You Know?
| Trivia | When Noomi Rapace was cast, she suggested Rachel McAdams for the role of Christine, because they had worked together on Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) and wanted to repeat the experience, this time with plenty of on-camera interaction. See more » |
| Goofs | Exterior shot supposedly in London - see the double-decker bus - except the vehicles are driving on the wrong side of the road. The scene was actually shot in Berlin, Germany. See more » |
| Movie Connections | Featured in The Making of 'Passion' (2013). See more » |
| Soundtracks | Programmed See more » |
| Crazy Credits | In the copyright notice at the end, the proper nouns "European" and "United States of America" are all lower case, rather than with initial capital letters. See more » |
