Trivia of the 2024 film Murder Drones.
== Trivia ==
* Liam Vickers wrote the screenplay in October 2021, following the pilot's release. The project was kept confidential by Glitch until the film's initial announcement in November 2022, roughly a year and a month after it was written.
* Keanu Reeves was initially meant to play Raymond Brown, but dropped out and was replaced by Ryan Reynolds.
* This marks the first 21 Laps Entertainment film to be co-produced with Sony Pictures Entertainment.
* The game Uzi and N play on the former's PlayStation 3 is the 2008 video game Call of Duty: World at War.
** The map Uzi and N play in the game is the zombies map Nacht der Untoten.
* This is David Leitch and Ryan Reynolds' second collaboration after the 2018 film Deadpool 2, not counting the latter's cameo from the 2019 and 2022 films Hobbs & Shaw and Bullet Train respectively.
*The trailers and film have the "Booting up//" screen before the beginning of the former and latter, which is featured from the pilot itself.
==Deleted/alternate scenes/cuts==
*An R-rated version of the film was written and shot at one point during the film's production, according to director David Leitch and later Kevin and Luke Lerdwichagul, and Vickers. This version contained suggestive dialogue, more pervasive language, and violence that was considered "too realistic." This was quickly scrapped due to it being too inappropriate for the general demographic of the series, leading to the script being rewritten and reshot to receive a PG-13 rating. This cut of the film is now considered lost by the general public, with Vickers and the Lerdwichaguls confirming that they are unsure if the cut is still in their archives, awaiting a potential Blu-ray release, or if it is completely erased and gone forever.
*Investigation: This scene originally had the police officers looking at CCTV cameras to find Uzi, who was missing the night before.
*A Night Out: Uzi and N enter an arcade before they are kicked out, causing a feud.
