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:
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
