== Trivia ==
*The film is a remake of the 1986 horror film The Hitcher. 
*Sean Bean spent little time with his young co-stars so as to distance their relationship and make himself seem more unknown and menacing. He believed this would drive the chemistry in a more realistic fashion.
*Rutger Hauer who played the character John Ryder in the original film was offered a cameo, but declined for artistic reasons. Hauer has since said in the press that he has yet to watch the remake, and according to some of his friends he shouldn't bother.
*Jessica Biel turned down the role of Grace Andrews while Britney Spears was considered for the same role before Sophia Bush was eventually casted as Grace.
*Despite being credited, Eric Red did not work on the screenplay.
*The two main characters that survive in the original film, The Hitcher; Jim Halsey and Captain Esteridge - are killed in this remake.
*Dave Meyers, the director for this remake makes a cameo appearance on the photo of the driver's license as the real John Ryder.
