WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

DESCRIPTION:

Jack Starks knows little about who he is. Nor does he know why he's bound in a straight jacket and subjected to bizarre psychiatric treatments. But an even more stunning fate awaits the amnesia stricken Gulf War veteran: the treatments thrust him into the year 2007 - where Jack learns that he died in 1993.
Impressive filmmaking talents join forces for The Jacket, a mind-and-genre-bender of a psychological thriller produced by Peter Guber, George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh. Academy Award winner Adrien Brody (The Pianist) plays Starks, the time traveler running out of time. And Keira Knightley (Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl), Kris Kristofferson and Jennifer Jason Leigh bring additional star wattage to eerie events that reach beyond time, beyond fantasy, beyond life itself.

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

Adrien Brody beat out both Colin Farrell and Mark Wahlberg for the role of Jack Starks.
Keira Knightley took a break from filming King Arthur to fly in and audition for this role. When she finally got there she got food poisoning just before her audition, and in fact had to audition while sick. Although Knightley credits her illness with helping her land the role of a depressed sickly drunk because she actually looked sick.
Originally Antoine Fuqua, the director of Training Day was scheduled to direct this movie, but he was replaced by John Maybury for unknown reasons.
The scenes where Adrien Brody was crying in the drawer were real. Brody asked to be locked in the drawer even when filming was not happening to get a better feel of what the character was going through. After awhile Brody really did lose it, and John Maybury caught his freak out on film.
