What's left behind the scenes
- That same year, a similar film about the threat of Earth being bombarded by an asteroid, 'Armageddon,' was released.
- The role of one of NASA’s officials in the film was played by Gerry Griffin, who previously headed 12 Apollo flights and later became director of the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
- Following Tea Leoni's role in this film, an asteroid (8299) Tealoni was named in her honor.
- In the film, after the discovery of a comet, one of the astronomers dies in a car accident. This reflects the real-life event of the death of astronomer Eugene Shoemaker, one of the co-discoverers of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, on July 18, 1997, in Australia when he was struck by a car.
- It all started when producers Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown suggested to Steven Spielberg (with whom they had worked in 1975 on the horror film “Jaws”) that he remake the 1951 science fiction action film “When Worlds Collide” by Rudolph Maté. Spielberg preferred to work on Arthur C. Clarke’s 1993 novel “The Hammer of God” (about an asteroid heading towards Earth and humanity’s attempts to avoid a collision). Eventually, it was decided to combine these two ideas into one. The overall message remained the same, but the screenplay was significantly changed, so Clarke wasn’t mentioned on screen.
- While Bruce Joel Rubin was finalizing the screenplay, he gained access to some highly classified rooms in the White House and the Pentagon. He later attributed such luck to the name of Steven Spielberg, as Spielberg was originally intended to be the director of the film.
- This was the last work of operator Dietrich Lohmann, who died a year before the film's premiere. The film is dedicated to his memory.
- The film depicts a giant wave hitting New York, and at the end of the scene, only the tops of the World Trade Center buildings are visible above the water's surface. Following the September 11th attacks, these shots of the WTC buildings were sometimes cut from television broadcasts of the film. Furthermore, the film shows the tidal wave coming from the west, from New Jersey, rather than from the Atlantic to the south.
