Trivia and Facts: - Brad Pitt reportedly left the project after Nicole Kidman dropped out and her replacement had not yet been found. Once Angelina Jolie signed on, he returned to the project. - In order to get a wider PG-13 audience, a very steamy sex scene between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was cut - The script reportedly went through over fifty drafts. Although original writer Simon Kinberg was the final writer during production, various uncredited writers worked on drafts throughout the film's development, including Jez Butterworth, 'John Butterworth' , Carrie Fisher, Akiva Goldsman, Ted Griffin, Kieran Mulroney, Michele Mulroney, and Terence Winter. - Brad Pitt left in the middle of shooting for three months to shoot Ocean's Twelve (2004). - Near the end of the story, when Benjamin is being interrogated by the Smiths, he is wearing a Fight Club shirt. Brad Pitt starred in Fight Club (1999). - When the rights for the film were first purchased in the 1990s, Mel Gibson was going to play Nick Naylor. - The original ending featured villains played by Jacqueline Bisset and Terence Stamp. After this was dropped, a second ending was filmed with Angela Bassett and Keith David as the villains. This too was dropped when it was decided that the film did not need a final confrontation with the villains at all. - Many of the scenes from the trailer were not in the movie, including Brad Pitt riding a bike while shooting and Keith David ordering someone to "bring in everyone," after finding out "it's the Smiths". - Angela Bassett was cast as Mr. Smith's boss but her scenes were subsequently cut from the film. Her voice is still heard in the film, giving him instructions of his next assignment. - Gwen Stefani was considered for the role of Jane Smith after Nicole Kidman dropped out. - The 35mm prints of this film come from a digitally grain reduced digital intermediate. They are full of digital grain reduction artifacts. - I-Temp is located in Suite 5003 at 570 Lexington Avenue. The building is real and it has 50 floors. - When Jane and John are discussing past assassinations, John refers to Jean-Luc Gespar, which was the real name for the character LaMarc in Ocean's Twelve (2004). - The film's original script was actually writer Simon Kinberg's thesis for his Masters in Fine Arts. - Body count: 43 - In the scene where John Smith is in his office a black suit with a white shirt and red tie can be seen hanging in the background. This is the same outfit worn by "Agent 47" in the popular Hitman game series. - Script-writer Simon Kinberg names The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), Prizzi's Honor (1985), The War of the Roses (1989), True Lies (1994) and the The Thin Man (1934)-series as inspirations for his script for this movie. - After the Smiths discover each other's identities, Jane speeds away in the car and John is running after her. He ends up tripping and crashing through a fence, and his gun goes off. The trip was a mistake, and Brad Pitt's reaction, as well as his following ad-lib, "Oh dear God," are genuine. Quotes: John Smith: [angry that Benjamin had blown their cover] You burn the picture after you get the assignment! It's the first thing you learn! Benjamin: Oh, I must have missed that day. Just like you missed the one about not marrying the enemy. Benjamin: [while in the middle of the desert] Oh, look. More desert. Benjamin: [while being interrogated and tortured by John Smith] Can I have a soda or a juice or...
John Smith: I realise you witnessed the Mrs. and I working through a few domestic issues. That's regrettable but don't take that to be a sign of weakness, that would be a mistake on your part. [Jane is drumming her fingers impatiently]
Jane Smith: You were bait.
