FILM 1867: THE SUM OF ALL FEARS
TRIVIA: The spray can that Liev Schreiber uses to cut through the chain-link fence is supposed to be a real-life CIA chemical spray known as "Ice Piss". When asked if a real can of Ice Piss could be acquired for the scene, the technical advisor said "I don't want to go to prison!"
Ben Affleck was on the set of Pearl Harbor (2001) when he was offered the role of Jack Ryan. His co-star Alec Baldwin, who played Jack Ryan in The Hunt for Red October (1990) persuaded Affleck to take the role. Affleck also contacted Harrison Ford to receive his blessing before taking the role.
When Ben Affleck first arrived on the set, he told Director Phil Alden Robinson, "Nice working with you again". Robinson said, "What do you mean 'again'?" Affleck explained that when Robinson was filming the scene in Boston's Fenway Park for Field of Dreams(1989), he and Matt Damon were among the thousands of extras.
Matt Damon had a cameo as a waiter, but it was cut from the final film.
Morgan Freeman played a ranking member of James Cromwell's Presidential administration. In Deep Impact (1998), the roles are reversed.
