What's left behind the scenes

John le Carré’s novel, on which the film is based, is based on the real life of Murat Kurnaz, a Turkish citizen legally residing in Germany, who was arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of involvement in the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. He was then sent to a US military base in Kandahar (Afghanistan), and then to Guantanamo Bay prison (Cuba), where he spent 5 years.
Amy Adams, Carey Mulligan, and Jessica Chastain were considered for the role of Annabel Richter.

Director Anton Corbijn appeared in a cameo role. He can be seen sitting next to Homayoun Ershadi (Abdullah) during the televised press conference.
