Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Shot in Toronto doubling for multiple global locations, including a 'rainforest' that Canadian audiences immediately recognized as local parkland.

Cultural

Released in 2003, this rode the coattails of virus-paranoia cinema post-12 Monkeys, but arrived just as the genre was pivoting toward zombie outbreaks instead.
