FILM 1854: OUT OF SIGHT
TRIVIA: Sandra Bullock almost got the part of Karen Sisco, but Director Steven Soderbergh was against it. He said: "I spent some time with Clooney and Bullock, and they actually did have a great chemistry. But it was for the wrong movie. I'm sure they could do a movie together. But not an Elmore Leonard movie." Clooney and Bullock appeared in Gravity(2013).
The mug shot of Jack Foley (George Clooney) (of which Karen (Jennifer Lopez) says "He doesn't even look like that.") is the mug shot of Clooney's character Seth Gecko from From Dusk Till Dawn (1996).
Michael Keaton reprised his role as Ray Nicolette in a small cameo. He originally played him in another Elmore Leonard novel-adapted film, Jackie Brown (1997).
This is one of George Clooney's favorite films on his resumé. He said "It was the first time where I had a say, and it was the first good screenplay I'd read where I just went 'That's it'. Even though it didn't do very well box-office wise, we sort of tanked again, it was a really good film."
Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Keaton did their cameos free of charge.
When Jack (George Clooney) sees the photo of Karen's (Jennifer Lopez's) father, he remarks that he has a "cop's face". In real-life, Dennis Farina (Marshall Sisco) was a former Chicago Police Officer. As an actor, the late Farina had several roles as a cop.
Lopez's Karen Sisco and Clooney's Jack Foley ranked #4 on Moviefone's "The Top 25 Sexiest Movie Couples" in May 2008.
The first of many George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh collaborations.
