Short description
A comedy that follows the chaos that ensues when a meteor hits the Earth carrying alien life forms that give new meaning to the term "survival of the fittest." David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott, and Julianne Moore are the only people standing between the aliens and world domination... which could be bad news for the Earth.
What's left behind the scenes
- For his role in 'Evolution', David Duchovny turned down a supporting role in George Lucas's much more prestigious film, 'Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones' (2002).
- The 'Head and Shoulders' shampoo commercial in the film featuring three main characters was the idea of director Ivan Reitman's son.
- When the Governor of Arizona presents awards to the film's heroes, Nadine with a 'Miss Arizona' sash can be seen in the background. Earlier in the film, she mentioned that she dreamed of winning the 'Miss Arizona' title.
- The concept of the chemical element selenium being present in 'Head and Shoulders' shampoo, which plays an important role in the plot, is technically correct. While regular 'Head and Shoulders' does not contain selenium, a special 'Head and Shoulders' shampoo for intensive hair care actually consists of approximately 1% selenium sulfide.
- The slight clumsiness of Julianne Moore's character was the actress's own idea.

- According to the original concept, the film was intended to be a serious sci-fi thriller, and screenwriters David Diamond and David Weissman were brought in to rework the project into a comedy. Surprisingly, the original screenwriter, Don Jacoby, was so delighted with the changes that he continued to work on the film alongside the new writers.
