In October 2014, a court case was filed in Ireland over the unauthorized use of a photo of a woman who went missing in County Wexford. The resulting court ordered injunction filed in November 2014 resulted in distributor 20th Century Fox to recall all DVD and Blu-ray releases of the film and pull all online streaming sources.
A majority of the movie was filmed at Rakovski Defence and Staff College, a military academy, in Sofia, Bulgaria. The building's interiors and exteriors were redesigned to look like a real old-fashioned hotel.
Speaking about her preparation for her first nude onscreen sex scene, Roxanne Carrion said, "I spent the night before filming watching sex scenes on YouTube for about three hours. I just kept watching every Hollywood sex scene I could find, ones with people like Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas. It really psyched me up. People like Halle Berry or Nicole Kidman really went for it in the clips I saw. Seeing that stripped away any embarrassment or inhibition and I knew I had to just let go. It wasn't easy doing it in front of 30 people but I didn't become an actor to become half-hearted about what I do. You've just got to go for it."
