TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

All of the prison scenes were filmed in a real prison (Washington State) with real prisoners.

Was one of the most widely read unproduced scripts in the industry. It wasn't until Ashton Kutcher signed on as an executive producer of the movie that it was greenlit.

During one of Evan's flashback scenes, he can be heard reading part of Ray Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder." In this story, a group of people travel millions of years into the past to hunt dinosaurs. One of them accidentally steps on and kills a butterfly, which dramatically alters the future.

In early versions of the script, the character of Evan was originally Chris Treborn. When the "T" is moved over, it becomes "Christ Reborn". This was changed to Evan Treborn, which is a play on "Event Reborn".

The lights flicker in the background of the psychiatrist's office when Evan is being hypnotized, after they blew up the mailbox. This was not a planned special effect - it was an actual short in the wiring on set. The directors thought it fit well with the scene and used that take in the final cut of the movie.

Popular Dialogues

"Jason Treborn: You can't change who people are without destroying who they were."

"[first lines] [reading aloud as he writes a note] Evan: If anyone finds this, it means my plan didn't work and I'm already dead. But if I can somehow go back to the beginning of all of this, I might be able to save her."
