- Bookworm was the original title, rejected by the studio.
- The brainstorming list includes Ambushed, The Ambush, Wild, Wilder, The Wild, Into the Wild, Wilderness Now, Dead Hunt, Deadfall, Precipice, On the Precipice, Over the Precipice, The Edge, Edge, On the Edge, The Bear Killer, The Bear Roared, The Bear and the Brain, Roared and Bloody Betrayal; the opening list wording is slightly unclear.
- Deadfall is the agreed viable alternative; The Bear and the Brain is rejected, On the Edge is too generic, and Into the Wild later became a strong wilderness-film title.
