Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Robert Pattinson already knew 13-month-old Scarlett Lindsey, who plays his baby daughter Willow: She is the daughter of his longtime friend, musician Sam Bradley, whom he knows since their school days together in London. Identical twin girls were initially cast, but as late as two days before filming was about to start, Pattinson couldn't bond with them, as they wouldn't stop crying as soon as he picked them up and got upset every time they were without their mother. He and Claire Denis felt not ready to shoot with them because the final film would have ended up entirely different. The night before filming began, Pattinson had the idea to ask his friend the last minute and so they flew in from London the next morning. She actually took her first steps ever infront of the camera while filming. See more »
Goofs Early in the movie Pattinson dumps bodies into space, and they fall downwards. This is consistent with the principle expressed in the beginning that the ship accelerates at a constant rate of 1 G, creating artificial gravity and thus making things appear to "fall" due to inertia. The same goes for the scene where Monte drops the wrench over the side of the ship. See more »

Quotes Tcherny: "I'd rather sink into the Earth after I've lost you than to sit around and grieve once you've gone off into your destiny."
Monte: What are you talking' about?
Tcherny: It's what my wife told me. I told her I was doing all this for her and our son, to turn our shame into some type of glory, you know? She says that this mission was like burying her twice and that my idea of glory was bullshit.
