Production
The original script was titled "Penelope" after Weisz's character, which may have changed. The script began with a short poem, which may be featured in the film.
"As far as con man stories go, I must have heard them all. Of ropers, grifters, faro fixers, tales drawn long and tall... but if one bears a bookmark in the confidence man's tome twould be that of Penelope, and of the Brothers Bloom." [1]
