Viva Bianca wasn't able to take the part originally due to scheduling conflicts with Spartacus. However, the return of Andy Whitfield's cancer uprooted the production schedule as it was clear he was not able to continue. While in the series was in stasis, Bianca filmed this movie.
Viva Bianca said they made the film in an almost guerilla-style. There were virtually no extras or constructed sets. It was shot in the heart of Sydney's Kings Cross into the early hours of the morning using the real locations and people. She said, "From street hookers to door bitches, they're all real."
The taxi driver magician with the rabbit played in the movie "Chained." His character's name was Rabbit.
'X' was the best Australian feature film of its year according to Australian movie producer Antony I. Ginnane.
