- Development reportedly began as a Schwarzenegger Total Recall sequel, changed after Carolco’s bankruptcy and later involved Jan de Bont.
- Reported offers included Damon or Bardem for Witwer, Streep for Iris, McKellen for Burgess, Blanchett for Agatha and Elfman for Lara; Streep declined and scheduling affected Damon and McKellen.
- Bardem reportedly declined because he did not want to chase Cruise through an entire film; his upcoming F1 appearance invites a joke.
