In an interview with Where is the Buzz, Ray Nicholson spoke about doing the film. He said:

“One of the first things Jimmy and I talked about was how to make Paul likable — even though the first time you see him, he stabs someone. That was the challenge. We wanted to create a character where, despite everything, you kind of root for him. He’s funny, he’s sweet, and somehow, you start thinking… maybe he and Sofia should end up together.”
