Upon looking at photos of the cast to get an idea for their makeup, Rick Baker said Tim Roth's makeup was going to be challenging because of his facial structure versus Paul Giamatti, whom Baker really loved for his expressive face. See more »

(at around 45 mins) As Leo and co. escape the city through the tunnels, they break through some boards covering the tunnel exit. One of the boards has been clearly sawn through and is broken at that point. See more »
Having never seen the original, I watched this movie many years later and the plot on its own is very entertaining.
The story flows well, and everything seems to make sense as the story keeps on going. I'm not good at judging effects, but I found everything quite believable. On top of it, I loved the atmospheres created (mostly because it is a Tim Burton movie but with less of his usual style).
The actors were incredible and sincerely, it was an awesome movie. I liked the plot, the actors, the directing and I think this movie is way underrated since it's being compared to the original which I heard is not even close to this plot. All in all, definitely worth watching!
