What's left behind the scenes
- In early versions of the script, the film's action was set in space.
- Filming for the movie lasted 8 weeks, and another 14 weeks were spent on production and filming special effects.
- Director Juan Piqué Simon did not speak English, and to communicate with the American actors, he used the services of a translator who was constantly present on the set.
- After the release of George P. Cosmatos's 'Leviathan' (1989), which cost around $30 million and was produced by Dino De Laurentiis, the latter decided to finance this low-budget version of the film. De Laurentiis hired David Coleman to rewrite Colin Wilson's 250-page script. Coleman's script was written in English and had to be translated into Italian for De Laurentiis and into Spanish for director Juan Piqué Simon, who did not know English.
