TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• Originally this film was set to film in 2002. With a title of The Last Man. the film had been cast starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in the leads and had been given a budget of $75 million. However after major on-set disputes between Brad Pitt and director Darren Aronofsky, Pitt left the project to film Troy and the film was shut down. The unused script was turned into a graphic novel illustrated by Kent Williams, and the sets were all auctioned off in Australia. Aronofsky then reworked the script and recast the leads as Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz who both agreed to take a pay cut. The movie's budget was slashed to $35 million and was released 4 years after the first version began production.
• Originally this film was slapped with an "R" rating by the MPAA, however the ruling was contested and without any cuts the film's rating was lowered to "PG-13".
• As with his previous films, Aronofsky started growing a beard when production began and he did not shave it until the production was completed.
• Although restricted by budget, Aronofsky says that he chose not to use CGI effects for this movie to give it a timeless feel. Instead of computers, the effects in this movie were created by using microphotography to capture chemical reactions on tiny petri dishes.
• Aronofsky reportedly approached Hugh Jackman after one of his performances of the stage play The Man From Oz and asked him to star in the film, and Jackman after hearing the story committed to the project on the spot.
• Hugh Jackman actually had to shave off all of the hair on his head and his chest for his role in this movie.
