Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was originally titled 'The Devil's Violinist' before someone realized that made zero sense. Shot in snowy Winnipeg standing in for Chicago.
Part of Samuel L. Jackson's prolific 2010s era where he'd appear in literally anything if the check cleared—this sits alongside 'Kite' and 'Big Game' in the 'how did he end up here?' canon.
