Active development began in early 2007 when Campbell met with producer Graham King, who first enlisted Australian playwright Andrew Bovell to write, and then William Monahan (fresh from winning an Academy Award for King's The Departed) to re-write the screenplay . Michael Wearing and BBC Films also co-produced the film . Filming began on 18 August 2008 in Boston, Massachusetts .

Also, Sugarloaf Mountain was shut down for a few days while they rented it out . They also filmed at the Notch Visitor Center, Rt. 116, Amherst . The film takes place in America, unlike the television series, which was based in England . "The idea was to transfer the story to a different time and place rather than just repeat what we did in England," Campbell said . "Boston seemed like the perfect location because it does have a whole English, Irish signature on it ." Jack Bennett disembarks from a helicopter in one scene . The FAA registration number, N401LH, is visible on the fuselage . This helicopter later collided with a Piper PA - 32 on 8 August 2009, over the Hudson River, resulting in nine deaths .
