Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The infamous 'chat room' scenes were filmed with actors reading lines off-camera to create genuine screen-staring blankness.
This was Halle Berry's 'I'll do literally anything after Catwoman' era, and she commits so hard to the bit that it loops back to compelling. The 2007 'sexy thriller about technology' genre died shortly after.
