The baseball portion of the film was scheduled to be shot with many extras that would fill up the stands of the stadium. Due to complications, not enough people showed up and the filmmakers were forced to continue shooting with almost-empty stands. It was only on watching the dailies that the filmmakers decided to undertake the long and challenging journey to fill the stadium using advanced 3D Crowd simulation techniques. A task that many considered "impossible" considering the limited resources.
The first shot of the film required more than 1500 hours of computer processing, in order to add cheering digital crowd to the baseball stadium.
When actor Clayton Norcross showed up at the casting session for the film dressed as a western gunslinger, the filmmakers knew immediately they had found their lead actor.
