Production
- Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer were Robert Zemeckis's first and only choices for the lead roles.
- Zemeckis filmed What Lies Beneath while production on his other film Cast Away, was shut down to allow Tom Hanks to lose weight and grow a beard for his character's development.
- In his career, this is one of Ford's few films in which he plays a villain. Among others are American Graffiti, Ford's first major motion picture role, and The Conversation.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
