The main female role was originally supposed to be played by Kristen Stewart. However, when Smith signed on to star in the film, the actress dropped out. The main reason was their age difference. She was immediately replaced by Margot Robbie, who was never replaced again. In addition, one of the candidates, even before the star of the "Twilight" saga, was Emma Stone, who refused the project of her own accord. She was credited with Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck. One of the secondary roles was offered to comedian Artie Lang. The invitation was sent to him in an electronic version. The artist refused, because he did not like the proposed hero. In addition, he almost destroyed the script he had read. The filming of "Focus" began on April 12, 2013 and began in New Orleans. Other delicious places include New York and Buenos Aires. An interesting fact is that the tape was edited in the program Final Cut Pro X. This is the most serious project that was "created" with the help of this program. After editing, the film was converted to IMAX DRM format, although not immediately. This became known at the beginning of January 2015, after the premiere was postponed.
