    • Known Trivia

    • Halle Berry was initially cast in the lead role with Joel Schumacher directing. Schumacher dropped out and was replaced by Brad Anderson. Berry dropped out due to scheduling conflicts but once the start date was pushed up, she returned in the lead role.
    • At the beginning of the movie when you hear all the 911 calls overlapping each other, you hear a man calling about overdosing, stating that his wife overdosed as well. This is a reference to the real-life 2006 incident when a police officer and his wife ingested marijuana-laced brownies and called 911 to report that he and his wife were dying from the overdose. The audio from this actual 911 call became highly publicized and can be heard on many different media outlets.
