Oddajmy głos samemu Stillerowi:

Cytat: So, I want to start off as all great interviews do with a question about a preposition. Why is it Escape “at” and not “from” Dannemora?

Ben Stiller: There was a lot of discussion that went into that.

Of course there is, yes.

People would probably call it Escape From Dannemora, and at one point we were just going to call it Dannemora, and we landed on “Escape at,” which was the original idea that Brett and Michael Tolkin had, the writers. We didn’t want to do “Escape from,” ‘cause that would’ve been Escape From Alcatraz, maybe. We felt like it just was a little bit different, and also Dannemora is the town where the prison is. It’s also how the prison is known colloquially.

It’s the Clinton Correctional Facility.

It’s Clinton Correctional, right. So we felt like there’s sort of a theme of escape happening. Everybody wants to get out of there. Joyce Mitchell, who Patricia Arquette plays, who works there wants to get out. I think the character that David Morse plays, Gene Palmer, he kind of wants to get out, too. So the idea was sort of: Everybody’s escaping at Dannemora. You know what? I have no actual logical answer for you as to why we did that. We just liked how it sounded.
