Trivia / Sabrina (1995)

• Box Office Bomb: Budget: $58 million. Box Office: $54 million.
• Technology Marches On:
  • The flatscreen display Tyson Electronics has in development was in 1995 seemingly unattainable. Nowadays, it looks to modern viewers like a normal TV on strange legs. However, it's apparently unbreakable (it can survive point-blank range shotgun blasts), and even today's super-large, 4K/UHD capable flatscreen sets are still very fragile.
  • Linus uses the Concorde to beat Sabrina to Paris. Supersonic jets were discontinued not long after the film was released.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Juliette Binoche tested for Sabrina. Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Meg Ryan, Robin Wright and Catherine Zeta-Jones were also considered.
  • Tom Cruise was considered for David Larrabee.
