FILM 1818: CONGO



FILM 1818: CONGO

TRIVIA: Ernie Hudson stated that playing the character "Captain Munro Kelly" is his personal favorite from his career.

Director Frank Marshall originally intended to use the computer work pioneered on Jurassic Park (1993) for the gorillas, but opted for models as the computers weren't capable of reproducing hair.

Bruce Campbell auditioned for the role of Dr. Peter Elliot. He was given the small part of Charles Travis instead.

The part of the 727 pilot was played by musician and pop icon Jimmy Buffett.

Hugh Grant and Robin Wright both declined leading roles
