Trivia

Produced and filmed in early 1994, this made-for-TV movie was never publicly released because it was intended as a pilot for an NBC series to air in the fall of 1994 and, following O.J. Simpson's arrest, any plans for producing the series were canceled. The completed film, the dailies, production reports, scripts and all other paperwork were confiscated by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and examined during the course of the murder investigation. It was argued, at one point, that O J. Simpson's training for his character as a Navy S.E.A.L. in Frogmen, might have facilitated his ability to commit the murders. After Simpson's acquittal in 1995, the film remained (then and to this day) confiscated in the property of the Los Angeles Police Department.
