Dark Roast was re-cut into an alternate version by Director Pete Yagmin for a web series titled "Last Minute Twists" and appears as Ep. 8 titled "The Last Drop".
The pendant worn by actress Diana Porter for this film contains the runic symbol "Eoh" which means "Death" and was intended as a subtle hint from the director to the audience about the nature of her character.
