The film contains not a single line of audible dialogue.
Due to poor location sound quality, all the sound in the film was created through ADR.
Since AKP: Job 27 has no spoken dialogue, the film was shot without the use of a conventional script. Instead, a detailed 20 page treatment consisting of 77 color coded scenes were used as a blueprint for the film.
A conventional 80 page script with dialogue was written to attract investors, but once the film went into production, the script was dumped and never used again.
The original script was set in Thailand, which was the planned shooting location. But due to the boom in Thailands domestic film industry, production costs became too high to be feasible.
The film uses a style referred by the director as modern silent, similar to Luc Besson's "Le Dernier Combat", whereby the film has sound but the characters do not speak on screen.
An agent from a Canadian film production entity had told the director that the idea for a full length feature without dialogue was not viable, after reading an earlier treatment for the film. Quote "You are welcome to prove us wrong." was the last thing the agent said. Just to prove this person wrong, the director decided to make the film anyway.
