2022-01-25 08:03
● The warehouse of the robbers in the film was shot in a food market in Rome that was closed for a year, and the museum in the film was set up and shot in a studio.
● The script "Honor Among Thieves" written by George Norfe was originally written by Wu Yusen.
● During the filming in the Netherlands, several trains were delayed because the Thalys high-speed train used in the film accidentally cut the locomotive cables. Some trains lost power as a result. The railway department took two hours to repair the malfunction.
● Matt Damon requested to change the script before the filming of the film so that the character he played could become a small character, because he had just finished the filming of "The Bournemouth 2" and was exhausted to play the protagonist. Soderbergh rejected Damon's request because Linus, who he played, was important to the completeness of the plot, but Soderbergh managed to reduce Damon's appearance time.
● Peter Fonda once played Linus' father in the film, but his shots did not appear in the final version.
● The Drysuit in the film is specially customized for the film and is done by hand. The mom-and-pop shop in Staffordshire had to work around the clock to make it out within two weeks.
● In the early writing stage of the script, Clint Eastwood was considered as Linus' father in the film.
● The white truck in the film is indeed owned by a real security company.
● The necklace Brad Pitt wears in the film is a replica of his wedding ring with Jennifer Aniston.
