Trivia: Christopher Walken doesn't speak a single word in the entire course of the movie.
Trivia: When they go into the police station, just before Robert Patrick walks out Sharon Stone walks out in her Basic Instinct outfit. Another nod to the "movie within a movie" concept.
Trivia: Kevin Spacey had to record the scene where Prot eats a whole banana (skin and all) 27 times.
Trivia: A popular film poster shows Emily and Victor reaching their hands toward one another. Emily's bony hand is on her right and Victor's suit and vest are backwards (note its buttons). Some say it was for legal reasons - Johnny Depp's name was supposed to appear on the poster first because of a contract, and they wanted the characters underneath the corresponding star names, hence the issue. Others say it was simply because the picture looked better with the bride on the right side.
Trivia: Never in Oscar Wilde's story was Dorian Gray invincible, as is depicted in the film. Nor did looking upon his picture kill him. Dorian regularly stood in front of the painting, observing the degradation of his soul. He was only killed when he tried to destroy the picture.
Trivia: Adam Sandler is also the executive producer of the film.
Trivia: The battle training robot is named "Simon" in the film, presumably after the director Simon West.
Trivia: At the dinner ceremony where Spawn attacks Wynn and kills Church, you can see a red-headed woman in a blue gown walking among the patrons in the beginning of the scene. The camera focuses on her briefly, but for a reason - look at her earrings. They are Spawn insignia. This is a reference to the angel Hellspawn hunter Angela, who wears those same insignia in the comics as trophies of her victories over previous Hellspawn. Very clever reference.
Trivia: The CGI wolves have no genitalia in the Eclipse movie because they needed to maintain the PG-13 rating.
Trivia: The third story, " A Lovers Vow" was based on the Japanese folklore of the yuki-onna. However, writer Malcom McDowell decided that the creature should be a gargoyle instead of a spirit.
Trivia: In a shot of Zeus sitting on the throne, Emma Thompson, in costume as Nanny McPhee, is actually hiding behind the throne - they were filming next to each other. The story was related during an interview - she sneaked on set during a break, sat on Liam Neeson's lap and said "I think you've been a very naughty boy". He suggested she stay when filming resumed, as the shot wasn't going to be on him anyway, but she didn't want to throw off Ralph Fiennes, so hid behind the throne to get out of the way, and a shot of it with her hidden behind, unseen, is in the movie.
Trivia: Kevin Lima, the director of Enchanted, is also the squeaky voice of Pip in NYC. Paige O'Hara, who is the voice of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and Danny Mastrogiorgio, who is the voice of Ram #2 in Brother Bear, appear as the couple on TV in the soap opera that Edward and Nathaniel watch on "the magic mirror." Also note that as soon as Edward clicks the remote to the soap's channel we hear a few bars of Beauty and the Beast's theme music. Then later while Edward searches for Giselle in the apartment building, Judy Kuhn, who is the singing voice of Pocahontas, appears as the pregnant mom with 3 kids who opens the door and tells the prince, "You're too late!"
Trivia: SPOILER: Nicolas Cage has a cameo in this film as an alternate version of Superman fighting a giant spider. This is a nod to the cancelled film "Superman Lives", which would have starred Cage and been directed by Tim Burton. The giant spider was part of the script at the insistence of producer Jon Peters, who finally got to make use of the idea in Wild Wild West.
Trivia: Reportedly, Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg repeatedly tried to sabotage the film's production as he was worried it would overshadow their film "Aladdin," especially as both films featured Robin Williams as a prominent character. Williams was furious, as he felt the film's environmental message was important and that there was no reason he couldn't do both films. It's believed this may have been a factor in William's feud with Disney that lasted several years after "Aladdin" was released.
Trivia: Luke Evans' father has a cameo appearance in this movie. He appears as one of the servants when Vlad addresses everyone after becoming a vampire. (00:33:50)
Trivia: Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the 1989 animated movie "The Little Mermaid", appears in the live-action film as a marketplace vendor who offers Ariel a plate of food and a fork. In a reference to the original film, Ariel uses the fork to comb her hair. (01:20:30)
Trivia: Stan Winston's face was the model for the Wolfman.
Trivia: Probably the most impressive visual effect in this film is when Corso consults the twin brothers Pablo and Pedro Ceniza (rare book experts). Both Ceniza twins were played by actor José López Rodero in the subtle and entirely convincing digital effect sequence. The only flaw was that the elderly twins had identical facial wrinkles, which never happens with real-life twins. Beyond that, José López Rodero additionally played the two nameless workmen that Corso encounters at the end of the film, meaning that Rodero played four digital-effect roles in this movie.
