Trivia: Considered by many to be one of the worst films made, it "won" a Golden Raspberry for all 12 categories, including worst rip-off/remake. It's considered a rip-off "Glen or Glenda" (1953). "Glen or Glenda" (written and directed by and starring Ed Wood) was also considered one of the worst films made. In Michael and Harry Medved's 1980 book "The Golden Turkey Awards", Ed Wood "won" Worst Director.
Trivia: Director Garry Marshall considers actor Hector Elizondo his good luck charm, and has cast him in every movie he's made.
Trivia: Throughout the movie if you look in the background at the various graffiti tags, one in particular stands out. Look for the tag OZ. In almost every scene that has graffiti on the walls you 'll see it somewhere in the background, sometimes more than once. Although it is common for graffiti artists to leave multiple marks in multiple areas, Berlin is a big city and it can be spotted too often for it to be coincidence.
Trivia: In the scene where Hagrid has dropped a "dead" Harry Potter, look quickly at George. He turns his head to the right and yells "Fred!" Fred has already been killed by Bellatrix Lestrange so it seems he may have forgotten this in a moment of grief.
Trivia: In the coffee shop scene at the beginning, the cashier/server who waits on Daniel Craig is the daughter of Michael Nyqvist, the actor who played Mikael Blomkvist in the Swedish version of this film.
Trivia: The original draft of the script ended with the actual biblical apocalypse happening. All of church members and police officers heads would begin exploding, save for John Goodman, who would take cover and then see the church leader played by Michael Parks being run through the heart with a sword by an enormous angel. The angel would then turn to Goodman, put it's finger to its lips and whisper "Shhhh..." before the four horsemen of the apocalypse would begin to descend from the sky as the film cut to black. Smith has said that the ending was dropped due to budgetary restrictions and because he wasn't confident he would be able to deliver on such an ambitious sequence.
Trivia: Writer Gary J. Tunnicliffe is a massive fan of the "Hellraiser" series and wanted to make a legitimate good sequel to the prior films. He wrote the first draft of the script and was slated to direct. However, due to contractual obligations with another film and the rushed nature of "Revelations" production, he was forced to bow out. Tunnicliffe later learned that much of his script was re-written during filming and that much of his story and dialog had been drastically altered. (Ex. The "found footage" segments were not in his original script, and the structure had been greatly altered.) In a 2018 interview available on YouTube, he openly admitted the movie was terrible, and feels that due to the film's rushed schedule and some questionable choices made by the director and producers, the film greatly suffered. He later went on to write and direct the following film, "Hellraiser: Judgment", which despite receiving generally negative critical reviews, was typically viewed as one of the better sequels in the series.
Trivia: The encore with Sarah Brightman featured four Phantoms from around the world: Colm Wilkinson, who was in the original Canadian production (and was also the original Jean Valjean in Les Misérables in both London and New York); John Owen-Jones, who, with over 4,000 performances, is the West End's longest-running Phantom; Anthony Warlow, the most famous Phantom in Australia; and Peter Jöback, a singer from Denmark, who made his debut as the Phantom and later took up the role on tour. And while he didn't participate, Michael Crawford, the original Phantom on both the West End and Broadway, was in attendance.
Trivia: Olivia Wilde plays Justin Timberlake's mother in the movie, even though she is three years his junior.
Trivia: During the credits you can see a tease for a possible (or spoof) sequel starring Kate Hudson and John Krasinski.
Trivia: The director was not able to find a suitable Scottish Gaelic-speaking actor to play the boy of the tribe of Britons, so he cast Thomas Henry who is a native speaker of Irish Gaelic from Belfast.
Trivia: During the end credits, there is a section entitled special thanks - the first thanks goes to 'The Chairman' (the unseen boss of the Adjustment Bureau) , followed by the City of New York.
Trivia: Shortly after Hugo drops a piece of metal from the suspending clock to the ground of the train station, the Station Inspector, assuming that Claude dropped it, loudly asks him if he is 'drunk, inebriated, shikker, etc.' The work shikker is from the Hebrew word shikkor for 'drunk'. Shikker actually means drunkard.
Trivia: Although it isn't shown in the film, Billy Beane managed, by using Paul DePodesto's sabermetric analysis, to get thirteen of the twenty players he wanted in the 2002 amateur draft. At the time, this was unprecedented; no GM before had ever finished the draft with more than six of their top choices, and most GMs are lucky to even get their top two or three choices.
Trivia: Nathan and Karen were spotted traveling on the "Fourth Street Bridge." The odds of being on a bridge when fleeing the city of Pittsburgh (movie's primary setting) are quite high - there are 446 bridges in Pittsburgh, the greatest number of any other city in the world. [Venice, Italy previously held the record with 443 bridges.] Perhaps not surprisingly, Pittsburgh is nicknamed "The City of Bridges."
Trivia: Nine-one-one (written "911") is used exclusively for the emergency telephone number in the U.S. (Nine-eleven might be used more often in England.) In the case of "nine-eleven", a slash is used to show the separation of the numbers (9/11), which then dictates its pronunciation and distinguishes it (date of terrorist attacks) from the emergency 9-1-1 number.
