TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The scene where Dillon ('Peter Mullan') confronts Daglish (Wes Bentley) in the bedroom of Lucia (Milla Jovovich) had to be reshot many months after principal photography was over. Bentley had cut his hair for another role, and had to be outfitted with a wig matching his hairstyle in "The Claim" at a cost of ten thousand American dollars.

The official Web site of the movie was one of the first to track a production day by day, with journal entries, commentary, still photographs and video. The Web site visitors were asked to help pick a new name for the production when the original title, "Kingdom Come", was awarded by the M.P.A.A. to a rival production.

Filming had to be halted when director Michael Winterbottom got frostbite in his ears.

On the cat house stage, after Sarah Polley's recitation, a man recites a poem. It's Shelley's "Ozymandia" from 1818. I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Originally entitled "Kingdom Come", until the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) awarded the title to a rival production claiming the rights to the title. Other titles considered for renaming the movie were "Sierra Nevada", "The Ballad of Daniel Dillon", and "Sierra City".
