TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The end title designer forgot to use punctuation when writing the end credits. This resulted in all assistants being listed as "ass designer" or "ass painter" etc.

Ewan McGregor has said that the script never named his character, so in his head, his character name was Gordon McFarquhar. The credits simply list him as The Ghost (the character is never named in the original novel).

Lang's beach house set was built entirely in a studio. The Cape Cod views through the windows were the result of greenscreens.

Largely because Roman Polanski could not set foot in the United States, filming took place in Germany and Europe with locations adapted to look like Massachusetts.

It was originally filmed and rated as an R-rated thriller but, upon its purchase for U.S. distribution, it needed to be cut down to PG-13 to ensure a wider audience. This was done by cutting out eighteen "f" words, three "c" words, and some graphic sexual dialogue, as well as trimming some CGI blood spray during a death scene.

Popular Dialogues

"Adam Lang: Spare me the bleeding-heart bullshit! Do you know what I'd do if I was in power again? I'd have two queues at airports: one for flights where we'd done no background checks, infringed on no one's civil bloody liberties, used no intelligence gained by torture. And on the other flight we'd do everything we possibly could to make it perfectly safe. And then we'd see which plane the Rycarts of this world would put their bloody kids on! And you can put that in the book!"

"The Ghost: I really don't think this is a good idea. Richard Rycart: You have no choice. The Ghost: Emmett must have told Lang I've been to see him. Richard Rycart: So what's he going to do about it? Dump you in the ocean? The Ghost: Well it happened before. Richard Rycart: Which means it can't happen again. He can't drown two ghost writers, for God's sake. You're not kittens."
