Did you know
ā¢ The two main characters that survive in the original film, The Hitcher (1986) - Jim Halsey and Captain Esteridge - are killed in this remake.
ā¢ Sean Bean spent little time with his young co-stars so as to distance their relationship and make himself seem more unknown and menacing. He believed this would drive the chemistry in a more realistic fashion.
ā¢ Rutger Hauer who played the character of John Ryder in the original was offered a cameo, but declined for artistic reasons. Hauer has since said in the press that he has yet to watch the remake, and according to some of his friends he shouldn't bother.

User reviews
A remake that passes the time pretty well, although the original's still better
I just hope Rutger Hauer will not watch this!!
One of the Better Remakes Out There, Still Prefer The Original Though.
