Film Trivia

  • When God (Morgan Freeman) is talking to Joan in the restaurant, his name tag reads Al Mighty.
  • The production of this film was environmentally friendly, offsetting all of their carbon emissions. Most of the time crew members rode bicycles instead of using cars to travel around.
  • While filming the scene where Evan's young son is moving logs with a baboon, the baboon got out of control. It jumped on the young boy's back and knocked over piles of wood, shutting down production for the rest of the day.
  • During filming, a curious giraffe took a bite out of the styrofoam ark. Without injury the giraffe spat it out and went about its business.
  • CGI lions were used for the scene where they scare off the reporters. So that the actors would have something to look at, two large stuffed toy lions were used.
