Defendor is actor Peter Stebbings' first produced screenplay and his debut as a director. He wrote the first draft of his Defendor script in 2005 when the idea came to him "in one whole piece". He failed to sell the script to numerous major Hollywood studios because it did not fit into a particular genre; he said that "[The studios] didn't want to touch it, but all the actors and their agents wanted to." Nicholas Tabarrok of independent production company Darius Films agreed to back the project after he "was hooked from the very first read", and agreed to fly Stebbings from Toronto to Los Angeles so that he could meet the actors. Elliot Page was originally set to star in the production, which was slated to begin in 2007, but he pulled out. He collected financing from Canadian film fund Telefilm Canada—about one quarter of the film's C$4 million budget—and "turn[ed] over stones to find the rest". After he added all of his personal savings, the film was still $100,000 under its financial requirements. Though principal photography was scheduled to take place from November 21 through December 17, 2008, it was delayed until mid-January 2009 and continued through the end of January. Filming took place in and around Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario. Specific filming locations included the Hamilton City Centre, Humber River Regional Hospital and a Toronto warehouse.

It was boring to see how a person was not provided with psychological help. Well, he lasted a long time. IRL would have been killed on the first outing. Sort of like that.
A film that makes you regret the loss of "single", funny superhero films. Harrelson’s character is my favorite type of Persian. A kind of stupid hero with a heart of gold, going to any lengths for the good of others. The authors did a great job with this. The rest is boring.
