Sigourney Weavers character was based on an infatuation that writer Steve Tesich had with a Washington D.C. anchorwoman, in which he recorded her broadcasts and had pictures of her like William Hurts character had in the film for Weaver. The anchorwoman in question was brought in by Peter Yates for technical support on the set to make Weavers character more believable.
c.		Emmanuelle Arsan, who plays Maily, is the very Emmanuelle who inspired the book and film Emmanuelle, as well as the subsequent Emmanuelle films.

c.		Another sequence storyboarded but not animated was another variation of Bolt realizing that his super-powers are not real, this time, through dramatic failure: Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino were traveling along a bridge over a river. Rhino accidentally falls off the bridge, and to Mittens terror, Bolt, still believing himself to have super-powers, jumps in to save him. The rescue doesnt quite go as Bolt expected, and he almost drowns, but still tries hard to save Rhino. When Mittens helps a shaken Bolt back to shore, they find Rhinos hamster ball, believing him to be dead, until they see a wet, awestruck Rhino, who thanks Bolt for saving him. But Bolt realizes that he didnt really save Rhino, and feels the lightning bolt shape on his side, which smeared from the water. The scene was nixed, because, once again, it didnt fit into the story structurally, and it was felt that something more poignant had to be done with this scene, which is what was done in the final film.
d.		The soap slam on dish shot used in the trailer took 41 takes to get right. After the 40th take, director David Fincher realized that the soap was sliding out of frame and so he settled for a fake soap prop.
