While this movie was held up in production, Director Barry LevinsonВ was able to make another film with Dustin HoffmanВ in the interim, Wag the DogВ (1997).Д«arry LevinsonВ toyed with the idea of having Queen LatifahВ and Huey LewisВ record a duet for the end credits. The Special Effects Designer and Director Barry LevinsonВ eventually decided to go with a 'champagne' colored sphere due to how it looked on-screen. The movie originally had planned to use a sphere that had the same qualities (chrome ball bearing), but soon found out that if it was placed in a dark room, the reflection would look almost entirely black, and not as impressive. In the book, the sphere was supposed to be visualized as a 'chrome colored ball bearing' with 'grooved convolutions' that acted as a door opening so that people could enter. Jackson) and Norman's ( Dustin Hoffman's) conversation about making up the ULF report and dealing with Ted ( Liev Schreiber), were completely improvised.

JacksonВ would work on this film during the week, and then work on Jackie BrownВ (1997) on the weekends.

TRIVIA: The ending had to be re-shot, because test audiences could not believe that the characters could survive without spending weeks in decompression.
