Film 869: Flight

Trivia: Olivia Wilde and Dominique McElligott were considered for the role of Nicole.

Reunites Denzel Washington and John Goodman, who worked together in Fallen. It also reunites Washington with Don Cheadle, who worked together in Devil in a Blue Dress.

Robert Zemeckis' first live-action movie since Cast Away.

According to producers Steve Starkey and Jack Rapke (during a Q&A session with the Producers' Guild on October 18th, 2012), the primary airplane in the film is a pastiche of several existing commercial airliners so as to not ID a particular plane or airline in the film. Also, no promotional consideration was paid by any of the alcohol brands featured in the movie; they decided to feature beer, wine and hard liquor brands for one shot only so as not to "endorse" any of them.

When the audience is first introduced to John Goodman's character, he's listening to "Sympathy For The Devil". This song also appeared in Fallen which also starred him and Denzel Washington.
