What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's premiere sparked widespread criticism of the South African authorities, who were forced to defend themselves to the international community against accusations of crimes against humanity. Officials from the African country indirectly acknowledged instances of violations of citizens' rights, but emphasized that all of this was in the distant past, and the share of illicit diamonds on the world market does not exceed one percent. The main actors were also offered a personal visit to diamond mining enterprises to verify compliance with all international laws.
  • Russell Crowe was considered for the role of Danny Archer.
  • Leonardo DiCaprio's hero, upon arriving in South Africa, passes by two women near the airport. The women were played by the actor's mother and grandmother.
  • Jennifer Connelly injured her neck while filming the car chase scene.
  • Colonel Coetzee, played by Arnold Vosloo, was named after J.M. Coetzee, a South African writer and outspoken critic of apartheid, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003.
  • Preparing for the role, DiCaprio gained several kilograms of muscle mass, training with Rhodesian soldiers.
  • At the end of the film, Djimon Hounsou's character delivers a speech at an international conference in Kimberley (a city in South Africa, the center of the Northern Cape province). In 2000, a conference was indeed held in Kimberley where the modern diamond origin certification system was adopted.
  • At the end of the film, Jennifer Connelly's character talks on a cell phone with DiCaprio's character, and a tear rolls down her cheek. The tear was added to the shot using computer technology.
  • On the 77th minute of the film, Danny (Leonardo DiCaprio) drinks palm wine from a bottle, then passes it to Maddie (Jennifer Connelly), but the bottle is already closed with a cap.
