Production
The plot draws from a basic structure first popularized by the Agatha Christie novel "And Then There Were None". In the novel 10 strangers arrive at an isolated location. However due to various details it is not an adaptation. All shooting was undertaken in the United States. With some in Lancaster, California and other places in Los Angeles County the majority was shot on a sound stage at Sony Studios in Culver City.
The story concept closely resembles ideas put forth by Charlie Kaufman as dialogue in 2002's Oscar award winning film Adaptation. The idea appears in the film as a pitch for a film script by the character of Donald Kaufman to his brother Charlie Kaufman.
