What's left behind the scenes
- Practically the entire film was shot against the blue screen, so disliked by the actors. This has become commonplace lately, as many films are packed with all sorts of computer graphics. According to the creators, there are only a few shots in the film that do not have computer special effects applied.
- To speed up the editing process, director Kerry Conran shot a lot of various shots against a blue screen. As a result, he gained the ability to manipulate the footage and not waste additional time on re-takes of the main scenes.
- Initially, the project was titled "The World of Tomorrow," but after it became known that Roland Emmerich's "The Day After Tomorrow" was being released, the decision was made to add the main character's name to the title.
- The idea for a full-length feature film arose after Kerry Conran filmed a 6-minute reel of robots walking around New York. Producer John Evnet was so impressed with what he saw that he was able to convince Conran to turn his ideas into a full-fledged project.
- Although Kerry Conran filmed a movie about events taking place in future New York, he had never visited the metropolis in his life. He was assisted in working on the set design only by old photographs of city landmarks, many of which were digitized, processed, and used in the film as a backdrop.
- The first screening of the film took place on July 22, 2004, in San Diego. There were about two months left until the premiere, which provided hope for correcting some imperfections and shortcomings.
- The film was supposed to be released on June 25, 2004. However, after the release date for "Spider-Man 2" (June 30, 2004) was announced, the producers, just to be on the safe side, postponed the release by as much as 3 months – to September 17, 2004.
- The role of Dr. Totenkopf was “played” by actor Laurence Olivier – his face was recreated from old photographs.
- Angelina Jolie participated in filming for only three days. However, despite this, she met with many British pilots, veterans of World War II, long before participating in the film, to showcase some character traits of that period and convey some of the slang of the time to the audience.
- Dexter Diborn was originally supposed to be played by Casey Affleck.
- Totenkopf translates from German as “Dead Head”.
- Peter Law, who played Dr. Kessler, is the father of Jude Law.
- The model of the aircraft flown by the Sky Captain – the R-40 fighter.
- Filming of the picture began on March 14, 2003, and ended on April 8, 2003.
- Joe and his friends fly over a graveyard of sunken ships. Among them are the 'Titanic' and the ship that carried King Kong (you can even see the giant monkey's cage).
- The film was initially shot on black and white film and subsequently colorized on a computer.
- The sound of the blasters installed in the heads of the giant robots was taken from the film 'The War of the Worlds' (1953).
- The very first scene filmed for the movie was the entrance of the Sky Captain into his office on the base, where Polly was waiting for him.
