TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The whole movie was shot using 2 Panasonic DVX100 camcorders, which probably explains the overall grainy look of the film.

The last work from screenwriter Jerome Bixby before his death.

There were no deleted scenes for this movie, only 3 deleted lines, as explained by director Richard Schenkman in the DVD commentary.

The director, Richard Schenkman, has always appeared in a cameo in his previous movies. He wanted to appear as a mover but due to the need to choreograph the cast for the moving scene, he reluctantly decided to fore-go his cameo and instead hired another person to be the 2nd mover.

(at around 1h 18 mins) The Tony Todd character, "Dan", mentions that he is gonna go home and watch Star Trek. Tony Todd appeared in seven episodes and one video game of Star Trek since 1990, John Billingsley starred in Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) and screenwriter Jerome Bixby wrote several episodes of the original series. Richard Riehle also guest starred in episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), Star Trek: Voyager (1995) and Star Trek: Enterprise (2001).

Popular Dialogues

"Harry: Edith, I was raised on the Torah, my wife on the Qu'Ran, my eldest son is an Atheist, my youngest is a scientologist, my daughter is studying Hinduism, I imagine there is room there for a holy war in my living room, but we practice live and let live."

"Dan: Time... you can't see it, you can hear it, you can't weigh it, you can't... measure it in a laboratory. It is a subjective sense of... becoming, what we... are, in stead of what we were a nanosecond ago, becoming what we will be in another nanosecond. The whole piece of time's a landscape existing, we form behind us and we move, we move through it... slice by slice. Linda Murphy: Clocks measure time. Dan: No, they measure themselves, the objective referee of a clock is another clock. Edith: All very interesting, but what has it got to do with John? Dan: He, he might be man who... lives... outside of time as we know it."
