Line #6 Trivia/Old


1	* CompletelyDifferentTitle:
2	** Brazil, Czechia, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine: ''Time''
3	** Bulgaria, Portugal, Turkish: ''Captive in Time''
4	* DawsonCasting:
5	** Creator/AlexWolff (Trent), Creator/ThomasinMcKenzie (Maddox), and Creator/ElizaScanlen (Kara) were all in their late teens or early 20s when they portrayed the film's teenage characters. Wolf and Scanlen both happen to be older than [=McKenzie=], despite [=McKenzie=]'s character being older.
6	** Inverted with Emun Elliot, who was in his mid-30s when he played [[spoiler:the 50-year-old Trent]].
7	* DisownedAdaptation: ''Sandcastle'' artist Frederik Peeters [[https://www.tdg.ch/frederik-peeters-on-dirait-une-production-netflix-630542051713 likened the film]] to an 80's BMovie (which, he adds in a TakeThat, would be equivalent to a Creator/{{Netflix}} Original in TheNewTwenties). He also didn't care much for the film [[spoiler:adding a purpose to the beach, which he intended in the graphic novel to be just an unexplained plot device to enable a philosophical exploration of the ravages of time]], but understood that Shyamalan made the changes he did for commercial purposes and because, in Peeters' mind, a faithful adaptation of the graphic novel would last just 45 minutes.
8	* FakeAmerican: While the characters portrayed by the Mexican Creator/GaelGarciaBernal (Guy), Luxembourgish Vicky Krieps (Prisca), and English Creator/RufusSewell (Charles) reflect their respective performers' non-American nationalities, most of the American characters are also played by non-Americans, specifically New Zealander Creator/ThomasinMcKenzie (Maddox), Australians Abbey Lee (Chrystal) and Eliza Scanlen (Kara), English performers Creator/NikkiAmukaBird (Patricia) and Aaron Pierre (Mid-Size Sedan), South African Creator/EmbethDavidtz ([[spoiler:adult Maddox]]),[[note]]Davidtz holds dual South African-American citizenship, but has a South African accent[[/note]] and Scottish Emun Elliot ([[spoiler:adult Trent]]).
9	* TheForeignSubtitle: Romania called it ''Old: Prisoners of Time''.
10	* MissingTrailerScene: The first shot in the trailer after the Universal logo is shown is not in the movie.
11	* ReleaseDateChange: The film was initially set to release on February 26, 2021 but was delayed to July 23, 2021 due to UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic-[=related=] release shuffles.
12	* SpoiledByTheCastList: [[spoiler:Creator/EmbethDavidtz and Emun Elliot were revealed to be portraying adult versions of Maddox and Trent, giving away that the characters would survive long enough to hit maturity. Likewise, the absence of an adult Kara in the cast list gave away that she would not survive]].
13	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Shyamalan had tremendous trouble deciding if he would stick to the graphic novel’s [[DownerEnding bleak, fatalistic ending]] or go with his usual style of adding a big, shocking TwistEnding. He only made a final decision about a month before the film needed to be in the can. According to a post on Reddit, test screenings didn't even have the ending.
