1 | * ActorInspiredElement: Creator/MichaelKeaton co-wrote two of the songs on the film's soundtrack. |
2 | * BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $85 million. Box office, $34.5 million (domestic). |
3 | * ProductionPosse: Director Troy Miller, having just come from four seasons of ''Series/MrShow'', was able to get Paul F. Tompkins, John Ennis and Jay Johnston in various bit parts, as well as archival audio of David Cross in a brief clip from the "Ding Dong Burgers" commercial [[ClusterFBomb (pretty much the only part of that deeply R-rated sketch suitable for a family movie)]]. |
4 | * StarDerailingRole: The film's failure knocked Creator/MichaelKeaton off the A-list for over a decade. He still had supporting roles in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' and ''Film/{{The Other Guys}}'' before finally netting an Oscar nomination with ''Film/BirdmanOrTheUnexpectedVirtueOfIgnorance'', which led to a full-fledged CareerResurrection. |
5 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
6 | ** Creator/SamRaimi was originally attached to direct the film, and even wrote a draft with his brother Ivan that would have been an adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman''. |
7 | ** Creator/GeorgeClooney was originally attached to the project, but when he left to do ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', ex-Batman Creator/MichaelKeaton was cast into the lead role. This became very problematic for Creator/JimHensonsCreatureShop, as they had designed their snowman animatronic specifically to Clooney's facial features and acting style. Creator/MelGibson was considered, but he turned it down in favour of ''Film/ConspiracyTheory''. Creator/AlecBaldwin, Creator/KevinCostner, Creator/DennisQuaid, Creator/KurtRussell and Creator/JohnTravolta were also considered. |
8 | ** Creator/MelanieGriffith and Creator/ReneeZellweger were considered for Gabby Frost. |
9 | ** Creator/DannyDeVito and Creator/VincentDOnofrio were considered for Mac [=MacArthur=]. |
10 | ** Creator/JakeLloyd was considered for Charlie Frost. |
