Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Spierig brothers shot Sarah Snook's scenes as Jane first, then immediately reshot them as John with identical blocking to ensure physical continuity.
The film's title refers to Calvinist predestination doctrine—the theological belief that salvation is predetermined, making free will an illusion. The entire plot is literally God playing dice with one soul.
