Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lee added 9/11 imagery and American football fixation that the original's elegant claustrophobia never needed. It's a film about isolation that can't stop reminding you it's American.
The infamous live octopus eating scene? Replaced with a CGI octopus because Brolin refused. That's somehow the perfect metaphor for this entire production.
