    Although this is the Hollywood/American remake of the Belgian film Loft (2008), most of the cast is not American. Only two of the five spouses are from the United States (Barbara Valerie Cruz and Mimi Kali Rocha). Isabel Lucas (Sarah Deakins) and Rachael Taylor (Anne) are Australian. Matthias Schoenaerts (Philip), who reprises his role from the original, is of course Belgian, while Karl Urban is a New Zealander and Wentworth Miller, though American, was born in the United Kingdom.
