Borte hos filmjournal.com har de snakket med regissøren om filmen, og han sier blant annet:
"There is a palpable undercurrent of emotion coursing through Ken Hixon’s original screenplay. His Rileys—Doug and Lois—are a middle-aged married couple in the ’burbs of Indiana, estranged by the loss of their daughter eight years earlier."
"Their grief has driven Lois into agoraphobia and isolation in their immaculate home and Doug into consoling adultery with a local waitress. When the waitress succumbs to cancer, Doug packs up his sorrow and heads on a business trip to Louisiana. Out of boredom more than anything else, he ambles into a strip joint and meets Mallory, a 16-year-old lap-dancer whom he takes a strange shine to. His proposition isn’t at all what she expects: $100 a day to take a break from The Life and live platonically with him. The domesticity that sets in prompts him to phone his wife and say he’s extending his trip, which, in turn, prompts her to quell all her fears and go fetch him."

"His biggest coup, however, was casting Kristen Stewart, co-star of the blockbuster Twilight films, as the underage hooker that the plot turns on. “I loved her in Into the Wild. I thought, ‘Oh my God, that’s exactly the right quality I’m looking for in Mallory.’ It’s a sort of feral quality.”
Scott spent a good year with the screenwriter, streamlining plot points and making them subtle. The death of the Rileys’ daughter is established in a deft and unexpected manner. “She used to exist in flashbacks, but one of the first things I did with Ken was take all the flashbacks out. I kept going back to the idea of restraint.
“While we were in New Orleans, it was very tempting to photograph the cityscape for all of its beauty, but I really didn’t think that was relevant to the characters."

"“Some people have said, “It’s a shame you don’t get to see Kristen actually dancing on a pole,’ but that was again a conscious decision. I didn’t shoot it. I was being asked to shoot it, but I wouldn’t shoot it because I didn’t feel that it was relevant to what Doug was going through. And I think, if I had shown her doing that, it was possible the audience would connect that to Doug and to something he was doing as a character. I didn’t want that to happen. I didn’t want that to be in question.”"
