Trivia and Facts
- The movie “Singularity” originally started off as a low-budget science fiction film known as “Aurora”. This initial shooting took place in 2013 in the Czech Republic and Switzerland. Interestingly, John Cusack was not part of this original shooting.
- Years later, scenes featuring John Cusack were shot and incorporated into the new production. Sophisticated CGI effects were used to craft a smooth blend between the original and new scenes.
- The film also got mentioned in “The Fanatic”, a thriller movie released in 2019.
- Despite being set in the future, the movie has a noticeable goof related to technology; the batteries and probably the chemicals in a century-old instant camera featured were still functional. This would be highly unlikely in reality.
- Notably, the movie was marketed under several different titles in different countries, including “Attack of the Robots” and “Aurora” in the United States, and “Cyber Choc” and “Kronos, le soulèvement des robots” in France.
