Short description
In 2019, Lincoln Six-Echo is a resident of a seemingly "Utopian" but contained facility. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully-controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to The Island — reportedly the last uncontaminated location on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie.
What's left behind the scenes
- This is the first Michael Bay film produced without Jerry Bruckheimer's involvement.
- A 45-minute segment of the film was shown to the press at the Cannes Film Festival.
- The sports car glimpsed in the trailer is a concept model of the 'Cadillac Cien'.
- The black yacht shown in the trailer is called 'Wallypower 118' and costs $25 million.
- Filming took 14 hours a day, after which the actors spent additional hours in the gym.
- Initially, Scarlett Johansson's character was named Esther, not Jordan, and in an early draft of the screenplay by Caspian Treadwell-Owen, she was pregnant.
- The film uses touch-screen tables as a computer control interface. In 2007, Microsoft announced the release of similar tables.
- Scarlett Johansson wanted her breasts to be visible in the sex scene, but Michael Bay refused.
- The poster, as well as the Calvin Klein commercial featuring Scarlett Johansson, are genuine.
- Before the first chase scene, you can see a prototype of the 'Lexus' car, which was already used during the filming of 'Minority Report' (2002).
- The basis of the film's plot and many of its details coincide with the plot of 'Parts: The Horror Clone' (1979), which became the subject of legal proceedings.
- The painting hanging in Merrick's office to the right of his desk is a Cubist painting by Pablo Picasso, 'Femme Assise (Jacqueline)' (1962), a portrait of his wife Jacqueline Roque.
- Six-Echo, before meeting his sponsor, finds a photograph of Tom Lincoln on a motorcycle in his house. This picture belongs to Ewan McGregor and was taken during the making of the mini-series "Long Way Around" (2004).
