Film
990: Déjà Vu
Trivia: Denzel Washington enjoyed
a brief break during the production to congratulate his son on signing with the
St. Louis Rams on May 1, 2006 as an undrafted free agent.
Near the
end of the car chase, Doug originally said "Jesus" after first seeing
Oerstadt's face. This caused the audience at the first preview screening to
erupt into laughter, as Jim Caviezel,
who played Oerstadt, is famous for playing Jesus in The Passion of the Christ.
This unintentional reference had gone overlooked by director Tony Scott; he had the
line removed from the film before its release.
The Lab
set was built on a sound stage in Los Angeles by production designer Chris Seagers. Seagers
wanted to combine a raw-edged, high-tech feel in which everything is digital
and state-of-the-art; yet have exposed cables, wires, and ducts to provide a
sense of reality.
Tony Scott and Val Kilmer had shirts made
for the crew that said "Malcolm X,
Jesus Christ, and Jim Morrison:
Deja Vu. How Can We Fail?" Denzel
Washington played Malcolm X in Malcolm X, Jim Caviezel played Jesus
Christ in The Passion
of the Christ, and Kilmer played Jim Morrison in The Doors.
