Production
- Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer were Robert Zemeckis's first and only choices for the lead roles.
- Zemeckis filmed What Lies Beneath while production on his other film Cast Away, was shut down to allow Tom Hanks to lose weight and grow a beard for his character's development.
- In his career, this is one of Ford's few films in which he plays a villain. Among others are American Graffiti, Ford's first major motion picture role, and The Conversation.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
“In the production of the necessaries of life Nature is ready enough to assist man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
