It is also the first Chinese-language Asian film ever from produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

The original graphic novel was first published in 1999. The characters in the novel were not given names, both characters were only referred to as "him" and "her". Chinese title of the book translates to "Turn Left, Turn Right", A Chance of Sunshine is the original English title of the book, on the newer published editions the English title is shown as "Turn Left, Turn Right".

The film has managed to include every single image in the book with a high level of accuracy, although some are fleeting.
