One scene in 'Faint of Heart' is a direct shot-for-shot recreation of an emotional scene from 'The Simpson's Movie' (2007) in which Homer Simpson is left by his wife Marge. The writers/directors chose to base the entire film's plot around the emulated scene, wanting to combine science-fiction elements with the emotional effect of the original writing. Matt Groening, the creator of 'The Simpsons' is provided with a special thanks credit at the end of the film.
