Did you know

• This movie was initially supposed to be released in October 1999. Its trailer was in theaters in Summer 1999. However, due to a flood of "end of the world" movies coming out at the same time (End of Days (1999), Stigmata (1999), et cetera) the decision was made to delay the release. Its new date was February 4, 2000. However, it got moved again after the popular "Scream" franchise staked out that date for Scream 3 (2000). The final release date of October 13, 2000 was finally decided upon, which also happened to be the same day as the re-release of The Exorcist (1973).

• Upon this movie's release, much was made of the fact that Winona Ryder chose not to do any promotional work for the movie. Her contractual obligation to do so had lapsed, when the release was postponed from 1999 to the following year.

• Janusz Kaminski's directorial debut.
