Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Filmed at the abandoned Eaton Centre in Toronto, which gives the empty-mall sequences an eerily authentic post-apocalyptic texture no set could replicate.

Cultural

This aired on CBS in 2001 when TV movies still got theatrical marketing; it's a gravestone for the 'event television' era that streaming killed.
