Short description

When her scientist ex-boyfriend discovers a portal to travel through time -- and brings back a 19th-century nobleman named Leopold to prove it -- a skeptical Kate reluctantly takes responsibility for showing Leopold the 21st century. The more time Kate spends with Leopold, the harder she falls for him. But if he doesn't return to his own time, his absence will forever alter history.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Before filming, Hugh Jackman, who played the role of aristocrat Leopold in the film, traveled to England and took lessons in good manners, dancing, and horseback riding.
  • Sandra Bullock was initially considered for the role of Kate.
  • At the beginning of the film, there is a scene where John Roebling, the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, delivers a speech to the public. The film is set in 1876, and the error is that John Roebling could not have spoken at that time, as he died on July 22, 1869, and did not live to see the start of construction on the bridge according to his design.
  • At the beginning of the film, Leopold wakes up in Stuart's apartment and confusedly shouts, "Perhaps you are Jack the Ripper? You dragged me here to do your dark deed…", however, in 1876, Leopold could not have known anything about Jack the Ripper, as he committed his murders in 1888.
  • In the scene where Kate leaves work before the merger party, her assistant calls the elevator for her and does not press the button, but simply touches her finger to the panel next to the button.
  • Filming took place from February 20th to May 22nd, 2001.
  • In one scene in the film, Leopold accidentally turns on the television, which is broadcasting an episode of the British science fiction series 'The Prisoner' (1967-1968).
  • The opera 'La Bohème' was written in 1896, Leo was born in 1876, meaning he couldn't have known about it.
  • Before filming, Hugh Jackman, who played the role of the aristocrat Leopold, traveled to England to take lessons in etiquette, dancing, and horseback riding.
  • In one of the film's scenes, Leopold accidentally turns on the television, which is broadcasting the English science fiction series 'The Prisoner' (1967-1968).
  • Sandra Bullock was originally considered for the role of Kate.
  • At the beginning of the film, there is a scene where John Roebling, the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, delivers a speech to the public. The film is set in 1876, and the error lies in the fact that John Roebling could not have appeared at that time, as he died on July 22, 1869, and did not live to see the start of the bridge's construction according to his design.
