A wide theatrical release in the United States was ultimately canceled due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Although entirely coincidental, the film makes several references to terrorism in NYC, getting as specific as mentioning plane hjackings and Osama Bin Laden destroying the World Trade Center.
In real life Naomi Watts is afraid of elevators.
US remake of the Dutch horror film The Lift (1983), which was also written and directed by Dick Maas. Where The Lift (1983) was Maas' very first film as a director, The Shaft (2001) was the first American feature film that he directed.
The producers of this movie have never fulfilled their obligations to pay residual compensation to the American directors team.
Director Dick Maas later said that the movie didn't work because he didn't get along on set with actor James Marshall. Maas didn't want Marshall to take the movie too seriously, but most of the time, Marshall didn't listen to his directions.
"Mitchell: We live in a vertical world. If you can't trust the elevators, what the fuck *can* you trust?"
"Jennifer Evans: I'll pee on them."
