Martin Sheen was originally offered the role of Dr. Bryson but after reading the script, he asked to play the Soul Hunter instead.
The Soul Hunter make-up, first seen in Soul Hunter (1994), was altered to make Martin Sheen's face more recognizable.
In a 2004 interview with The Independent, Ian McShane stated that he wished that he had turned down the role of Dr. Robert Bryson as he had struggled with the technical dialogue and found looking at Martin Sheen, who was wearing an eye in the middle of his forehead, to be the most embarrassing experience that he had ever had while acting. He also added that, during filming, he began making up his own technobabble dialogue which displeased the producers.
The film takes place from June 8 to June 13, 2263.
Nikki Ziering's debut.
