Tell No One is a 2001 novel by American mystery writer Harlan Coben. It was adapted for the screen by French film-makers Philippe Lefebvre and Guillaume Canet, who also directed the movie.

Guilaume Canet read the book, loved it, and wrote to Coben, telling him he wanted to buy the rights for a movie. Canet emphasized that he loved the love story and the fact that the hero was a anti-hero not good at fighting. Coben had already been approached by Hollywood with the idea of shortening the time Alex and his wife spent apart. Coben didn't like their idea and signed with Canet, not Hollywood.

Margot and Alex meet up at their tree. It is ambiguous as to whether or not they get back together. In fact, some viewers have suggested that Margot was actually a ghost. However, there is little doubt that they will get back together: It is established that Alex couldn't let go of Margot after eight years, and Margot came back to Paris and put herself in harm's way after finding out that Alex is still alive, so both seem to still love each other, and with Neuville out of the way, there is no need for them to keep a low profile anymore.
