When James first enters the Pontifex Institute, the camera lingers on a painting in the hallway. The painting shows the cabin in which the four hikers shelter at the start of the film.
One of the last films from Fox that was made before they were acquired by Disney. The film was quietly dumped into theaters and made so little money that even a home video release on DVD was deemed non-profitable.
Based on Cullen Bunn & Vanesa R. Del Rey's 'The Empty Man' comic series published by Boom! Studios.
The first film released under the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures label to be rated 18 by the BBFC.
The fictional high school in fictional Webster Mills, MO is named after Jacques Derrida, the French philosopher known for his theory of deconstructionism. Many of the aphoristic statements which can be read in the questionnaire handed over at the Pontifex Instutite meeting, while not direct quotation from Derrida, have a clear relationship with Derrida's works.
"James Lasombra: Yeah, no."
"Arthur Parsons: The empty man is a meditation. A focal point for the targeted manifestation of hidden energies. James Lasombra: Right, and already you're starting to lose me. Arthur Parsons: Just as man feeds and is fed by the biosphere, the atmosphere, so it is our thoughts feed and are fed by the noosphere... the sum of all conscious thought, transmission from which can be stimulated through the application of certain vectors, very much like a virus. You can't see it. James Lasombra: Well, what is... It? Arthur Parsons: The veil between form and flesh and the means by which it can be pierced and the two allowed to commingle. We're each of us blind in our way. Distractions rob us of focus. Technology robs us of memory. Repetition robs us of comprehension. You know the child's game: if you say your names enough times it becomes gibberish. That holds true for whole concepts, even entire bodies of thought. For example, take Nietzsche's old line: if you stare into an abyss, it also states into you. Right? Well, that has been rendered meaningless through repetition. It's a refrigerator magnet, it's a cliche. It's harmless. But when was the last time you really thought about that? What is an abyss, and if you stare into it, why? What about it calls to you? If it stares into you, it stands to reason something in you must also be calling to it. And that, my friend, is anything but harmless, if you really reflect on it. So the question becomes: if profound meaning can be robbed of something by so simple a task as repetition, which is more fundamental, which is more true - your name, or the gibberish. That... is the empty man."
