Short description
After his father, an assassin, is brutally murdered, Nick Gant vows revenge on Division, the covert government agency that dabbles in psychic warfare and experimental drugs. Hiding in Hong Kong's underworld, Nick assembles a band of rogue psychics dedicated to destroying Division. Together with Cassie, a teenage clairvoyant, Nick goes in search of a missing girl and a stolen suitcase that could be the key to accomplishing their mutual goal.
What's left behind the scenes
- Nico Gant could have played Channing Tatum.
- Types of psychics in the film: Movers (capable of telekinesis), Pushers (capable of controlling the thoughts and memories of surrounding people), Watchers (capable of seeing the future), Bleeders (emit loud screams capable of bursting blood vessels), Sniffs (using a person's belongings, they can track them), Shifters (capable of temporarily replacing an object with any other), Wipers (capable of erasing memory), Shadows (capable of hiding themselves and surrounding people from the powers of other psychics), and Stitchers (capable of healing themselves and any other person).
- At the end of the film, when Nick is released from the car, his sweatshirt gets dirty, but after he walks up to the window, he is wearing a clean sweater.
- The film was delivered to cinemas under the false title "Kinetic".
- Paul McGuigan noticed Chris Evans (Nick) after watching "Cellular" (2007), where Evans played one of the main roles.
- Director Paul McGuigan was inspired to move the setting to Hong Kong by "Casablanca" (1942). According to him, Casablanca in the 30s and 40s was a haven for scoundrels and a city where one could truly hide, while Hong Kong in the 2000s was equivalent to Casablanca in the 30s and 40s.
- To ideally recreate the hectic atmosphere of Hong Kong, the entire film crew hid in vans, and the cameraman filmed through small, inconspicuous windows, so that the people in the background of the actors wouldn't suspect anything. The scene where the heroine, Camilla Belle (Kira), is kidnapped on a crowded street was filmed using the same “guerrilla” method, with no one around suspecting a thing. Surprisingly, none of the passersby even attempted to “help” the actress.
- The film was released in Chilean cinemas under the title “Heroes”.
- The original title can be translated as “Suggestion”.
- Channing Tatum was considered for the role of Nick Gant.
- Paul McGuigan took notice of Chris Evans (Nick) after watching 'Sunshine' (2007), in which Evans played one of the leading roles.
- Director Paul McGuigan was inspired by 'Casablanca' (1942) to move the setting to Hong Kong. According to him, Casablanca in the 30s and 40s was a haven for scoundrels and a city where one could truly hide, and Hong Kong in the 2000s is the equivalent of Casablanca in the 30s and 40s.
- Director Paul McGuigan used digital effects to a minimum while creating the film. The only scene shot on a green screen was the car chase (and it was only shot that way due to the intense Hong Kong traffic).
- To perfectly recreate the hectic atmosphere of Hong Kong, the entire crew hid in vans, and the cinematographer filmed through small windows unnoticed by ordinary citizens, so that the people in the background of the actors' scenes would suspect nothing. The scene where Camilla Belle's character (Kira) is kidnapped on a crowded street was filmed using the same 'guerrilla' method; no one around suspected a thing. Surprisingly, not a single passerby attempted to 'help' the actress.
