What's left behind the scenes

  • The design of the starship 'Event Horizon' was modeled after Notre-Dame Cathedral. Even its interior featured many cross-shaped forms.
  • The spacesuits worn by the actors during filming weighed approximately 25 kilograms each.
  • Filming of the picture took place from November 18, 1996, to March 14, 1997.
  • Another translation of the film's title, 'Event Horizon,' is an astronomical term denoting the boundary in space, once crossed, no object can escape the pull of a black hole and will inevitably be consumed.
  • Paul W.S. Anderson had to cut around 20 minutes of particularly brutal scenes for the film to receive an R rating.
  • The airlock number where the 'Lewis and Clark' docks with the 'Event Horizon' is 13.
  • The film was entirely produced in the United Kingdom.
  • Initially, Paul W.S. Anderson wanted the film's soundtrack to be recorded by the band 'Orbital'. However, studio executives opposed this idea. As a result, it was decided to combine orchestral music and techno: 'Orbital' recorded the soundtrack to the film together with Michael Kamen.
  • The post-production period was shortened from six to four weeks because Paul W.S. Anderson was obliged to prepare the film for release in August 1997.
  • Building the sets for the film (from finding contractors to the final result) took 4 weeks.
  • Andrew Kevin Walker rewrote the script, but his name is not mentioned in the credits.
  • Paul W. S. Anderson and Jeremy Bolt planned to make a director's cut of the film, but most of the negatives were lost or destroyed after post-production was completed.
  • The working title of the film was "The Stars My Destination".
  • Gary Sinise played one of the crew members on "Event Horizon".
  • Each character's spacesuit features the flag of their home country.
  • The idea of the chaotic space was borrowed from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where the Warp is essentially hell.
  • In the original script, Philip Eisner proposed using 'Event Horizon' as a laboratory of an unknown alien race conducting experiments on the crew members. However, when Paul W. S. Anderson took the director's chair, he immediately suggested abandoning the aliens and making it a 'haunted house in space'.
  • The design of the starship 'Event Horizon' was modeled after Notre Dame Cathedral. Even its interior had many cross-shaped forms.
  • Another translation of the film's title 'Event Horizon' is an astronomical term denoting the boundary in space, beyond which a body will no longer be able to overcome the pull of a black hole and will inevitably be absorbed.
