Alternate versions

Director Frank Darabont wanted the movie to be in black and white. Although it was filmed in color, and shown that way theatrically, a black and white version was released on home video.

The German/European version of the film is longer than the US version in two brief scenes.

The copyright notice at the end of the film originally read, "Copyright 2007 The Weinstein Company, LLC." By the time the film was released on 4K UHD in 2023, the copyright notice was changed to, "Copyright 2007 Lionsgate Films". The Dimension Films logo was also plastered by the 2013 Lionsgate logo too.
