Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Roosevelt Hotel refused filming after 9/11 sensitivities; they used The Roosevelt's competitor, The Roosevelt. (Kidding—it was actually The Roosevelt, they just said no then yes.)
Ed Harris filmed all his scenes in just two days, reportedly because he lost a bet about the script's quality.
