What's left behind the scenes

  • A remake of John Carpenter's 1980 film of the same name.
  • Carpenter himself was offered to direct the remake. He declined, stating that he had already filmed his 'The Fog' once and remained on the project as a producer.
  • Revolution Studios gave the project a 'green light' even before the script was written.
  • Debra Hill, with whom Carpenter wrote the screenplay for the original 'The Fog,' passed away shortly before filming of the remake began.
  • Stacy Ferguson, the lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas, was originally cast as Stevie Wayne, but she dropped out of the project at the last moment.
  • Julia Stiles expressed interest in the role of Elizabeth Williams, and the character was specifically made slightly older to suit her. However, when Stiles left the project, the role went to Maggie Grace, and Elizabeth was subsequently made younger again to fit Grace.
  • Selma Blair was the first choice for the role of Stevie. However, at the time, everyone thought Julia Stiles would play Elizabeth, and they clearly didn't want to pair Stiles and Blair in the film again, as they had already starred together twice – in 'Only You' (2000) and 'The Wedding Date' (2003).
  • Maggie Grace beat out Emily de Ravin, her main competitor and co-star on the series 'Lost'.
  • The role of Nick Castle was sought by David Boreanaz, Jesse Metcalfe, Matthew Davis, Henry Cavill, Adam Garcia, Michael Cassidy, Oliver Hudson, Peter Facinelli, Matthew Fox, and Benjamin McKenzie.
  • Tom Welling, who landed the role of Nick, took a three-week leave of absence from his main job – the television series "Smallville".
  • Spooner could have been played by Wilmer Valderrama, Eric Christian Olsen, Keenan Thompson, John Cho, Dominic Monaghan, or John Heder. The role went to DeRay Davis.
  • The main character, Nick Castle, was named in honor of the actor Nick Castle, who played Michael Myers in John Carpenter's legendary "Halloween" (1978).
  • Selma Blair performed all the stunts herself, spending 12 hours in a water tanker.
