Short description

Dragonfly stars Kevin Costner as Joe Darrow, a Chicago hospital emergency chief whose wife, Emily, dies during a humanitarian mission in Venezuela. When her body is not recovered, Joe throws himself into his work, but he begins to sense that she is trying to reach him. Children he treats, including a boy named Jeffrey who has had near-death experiences, claim to have seen Emily, and a recurring dragonfly image keeps appearing around him. Joe, a rational doctor, cannot explain these events and eventually travels toward the place in Venezuela where Emily was lost, searching for answers about her death.

The film was directed by Tom Shadyac, whose earlier credits include Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Nutty Professor, Liar Liar and Patch Adams. Dragonfly was released in 2002 and followed by Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty. The screenplay is credited to Brandon Camp, Mike Thompson and David Seltzer, and the cast includes Joe Morton, Ron Rifkin, Susanna Thompson, Kathy Bates and Jacob Smith, with 25 credited cast members and 74 credited crew.

On IMDb, Dragonfly holds a 6.6 rating from 965 votes. On TMDB, it also holds a 6.6 rating, from 965 votes. The film had a budget of 60 million dollars and grossed 52 million dollars worldwide.

What's left behind the scenes

  • MGM shut down the project because they refused to pay Kevin Costner a $15 million fee, considering the commercial failures of his films. The project was then bought out by Universal Studios.
  • Allison Lohman played a small role as a patient with cancer, but the character was ultimately cut from the plot entirely. Because she had shaved her head for the role, she had to wear a wig for the filming of the drama 'White Oleander' (Peter Kosminsky, 2002).
  • The character of Joe was written for Harrison Ford, but he turned down the role to take a year-long break from filming.
  • Filming took place from November 16, 2000, to March 1, 2001.
