FILM 1993: SLIVER

TRIVIA: During filming, a crew was sent to Hawaii to film an active volcano for the opening credits. During the flyover, the volcano erupted, and the helicopter carrying the crew crashed. No one was killed, but all film was lost. The opening credit scene is referenced in the film by the crystal volcano in Zeke's Room.

According to Phillip Noyce, Sharon Stone and William Baldwin disliked each other and demanded that their scenes be filmed separately whenever possible.

The script originally called for full male frontal nudity, but William Baldwin changed his mind after the scenes had been shot.

While filming a kissing scene, Sharon Stone bit William Baldwin's tongue with such force that he couldn't talk properly for days afterwards.

Johnny Depp and Val Kilmer turned down the role of Zeke Hawkins.

Sharon Stone signed for the lead for $2.5 million.

The book "Flesh and Blood" that Jack sends to Carly has a cover that is similar to the poster for Dead Calm (1989), another Phillip Noyce film.

The soundtrack includes "Unfinished Sympathy" by Massive Attack. They were sued by bassist Ralphe Armstrong for copyright infringement alleging they lifted vocals and other samples from his song "Planetary Citizen" from the Inner Worlds album by the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Ralphe claimed he became aware of the copyright issue while watching this movie. The suit was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
