Trivia and Facts
- The German post-techno band Mouse on Mars was originally approached to compose the film’s soundtrack. However, producer Josh Evans deemed their work too “uncommercial” and the band’s work was eventually not included in the film. Interestingly, the rejected soundtrack was released later as their standalone album and it got great reviews.
