In one episode, Victor’s daughter, Lainey, can be seen reading the legend of Pygmalion on her laptop. Pygmalion is a sculptor in Greek mythology who created a beautiful statue of ivory and fell in love with his creation, pleading with the goddess to breathe life into the cold sculpture.
The name of one of the characters, Hank Alino, is an anagram of the word “Alone”.
The song that Simone sings at her concert – You Make Me Feel (Like A Natural Woman) – is performed by Mary J. Blige. According to the plot, Viktor synthesizes the actress’s voice from the voices of other performers – Whitney Houston and Madonna.
To keep her involvement in the film a secret, Rachel Roberts took the pseudonym Anna Green. Footage of Roberts was computer-processed to create the image of the artificial Simone.
After watching the animated film “Final Fantasy” (2001) and seeing how realistically the computer-generated characters were depicted, the producers began to lean towards the idea of making Simone entirely computer-generated. However, they abandoned this idea due to objections from the Screen Actors Guild, who feared that actors would soon be replaced by computer imagery in all films.
Filming took place in California from September 7 to November 2000.
