Full HD 1280pWhat's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Stephen King's novella "The Mist" (1980).
- The film contains a geographical error. The fire truck passing by the supermarket is labeled "Caddo Parish." However, Caddo Parish is not located in Maine (where the film takes place), but in Shreveport, Louisiana (where the filming took place).
- William Sadler, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Brian Libby appeared in all three films directed by Frank Darabont based on works by Stephen King ("The Shawshank Redemption," "The Green Mile," "The Mist").
- At the beginning of the film, a poster for "The Thing" can be seen in Thomas Jane's character's room, and he himself is drawing a poster – an illustration for Stephen King's famous "Dark Tower" cycle. In particular, Roland and Eddie can be seen there. This is a reference to Drew Struzan, the artist who painted many posters and artwork for all of Darabont's films, as well as the poster for "The Thing".
- William Sadler voiced David Drayton in the audiobook version of the novel.
- Initially, Frank Darabont wanted to make the film in black and white. The second disc of the American two-disc gift edition contains a black-and-white director's cut of the film.
- Frank Darabont wanted Stephen King to play a cameo role in the film – a biker was envisioned for him. However, the King of Horror declined the offer, and Brian Libby ultimately played the part.
- The film, like much of Stephen King's work, takes place in the state of Maine. However, all the outdoor scenes were not shot in Maine, but in Minden, Louisiana. To Frank Darabont's great delight, when Stephen King watched the film, he did not notice that it was not filmed in Maine.
- Mrs. Carmody’s line, “My life for you,” is a reference to several books by Stephen King featuring the embodiment of cosmic evil named Randall Flagg. Different characters say this phrase when pledging allegiance to Flagg in the books *The Stand* and *The Eyes of the Dragon*, as well as in the novels from the *Dark Tower* cycle.
- The pharmacy next to the supermarket is called “King’s Pharmacy” – a reference to the author of the original novella, Stephen King. King himself once played the role of pharmacist Dr. Bangor in the film adaptation of his novel *The Langoliers*.
- Frank Darabont wanted to adapt King's novella "The Mist" since 1980, when he first read it as part of the collection "Dark Forces." He wanted this film to be his directorial debut, but he had to start filming "The Shawshank Redemption" based on another of King's novellas.
- In the novel, the married protagonist, David Drayton, has an affair with a married woman named Amanda Dumfries. Darabont did not want their affair to be depicted on screen. The film's characters, played by Thomas Jane and Laurie Holden, have a much stronger, emotional connection. Jane says of the characters: "We kind of create a new family—Amanda becomes my wife and Billy's mother. This nightmare that we're trying to get out of together binds us."
- Although the monsters were described in just a couple of lines in the novel, Darabont considered it important to create monsters with unforgettable designs. Greg Nicotero meticulously studied the history of the genre to avoid repetition and similarities. After the designers finished their work, the creators showed the puppets to the actors with their "facial expressions"—the movement of their eyes and jaws. This later helped the actors perceive the monsters more vividly and, from an acting point of view, realistically.
- Frank Darabont's original script included an introductory episode showing a military scientist, mentioned by Corporal Jessup, accidentally opening a portal to another dimension, allowing the mist and monsters to enter our world. During lunch one day, actor Andre Brouwer asked the director if this episode was really necessary. Frank Darabont seriously considered this and, a week later, decided to remove the episode, leaving the nature of the mist and monsters less clear.
- Initially, Frank Darabont decided not to film an episode from the original novella in which David Drayton and those traveling with him in the car see a gigantic six-legged creature flying overhead, fearing that the scene could not be made convincing; this episode was not in the original script. However, during filming, several special effects artists from "Cafe Effects" studio persuaded the director to still include this episode in the film, managing to convince him that they could handle this difficult task.
- The film's ending, which provoked a mixed reaction from viewers, is actually based on Stephen King's original novella: it contains a moment where David Drayton suggests such a development of events. Frank Darabont decided that the novella’s ambiguous ending was unsuitable for the film and expanded the story to a tragic climax. After watching the film, Stephen King was satisfied and confirmed that it was precisely the ending implied in the novella.
- During the first confrontation with the monsters in the store, Joe Eagleton knocks over a rotating ornate bookshelf filled with books. All the books on it are publications by Stephen King (the novel 'Cell' and others).
- Frank Darabont decided he wanted to minimize the use of musical and sound effects in order to convey a far more oppressive ending to the film than the original ending of the novel. The director explained this by saying that, in his opinion, “silence can be more frightening than strange noise; a whisper is scarier than a bang, and we wanted to bring that ratio into harmony. We minimized the sounds to make the film seem almost documentary-like to viewers.” For the film’s ending, Darabont used the composition “The Host of Seraphim” performed by Dead Can Dance – music based on stylized Gregorian chant. As a fan of the band, Darabont stated that this composition would be a kind of “requiem for the entire human race.”
- Although the film is implied to take place in the state of Maine, the overturned patrol car that David drives past on the highway is painted yellow and white, the colors of the Illinois State Police. Police cars in Maine use blue coloring.
- The film is based on Stephen King's novella "The Mist" (1980).
- There is a geographical error in the film. The fire truck passing by the supermarket is labeled "Caddo Parish." However, Caddo Parish is not located in Maine (where the film takes place), but in Shreveport, Louisiana (where the filming took place).

- The pharmacy next to the supermarket is called “King’s Pharmacy” – a reference to the author of the original novella, Stephen King. King himself once played the role of pharmacist Dr. Bangor in the film adaptation of his novel "The Thinner".
- Frank Darabont wanted to adapt King’s novella “The Mist” since 1980, when he first read it as part of the collection “Night Shift”. He wanted this film to be his directorial debut, but he had to start filming "The Shawshank Redemption" based on another of King’s novellas.
- In the novel, the married protagonist, David Drayton, has a sexual affair with a married woman named Amanda Dumfries. Darabont did not want their affair to be depicted on screen.

Jane says of the characters, "We kind of create a new family—Amanda becomes my wife and Billy's mother. This nightmare that we’re trying to get out of together bonds us."
