Movie Trivia/Goofs

Emma Thompson, Glenn Close and Jessica Lange where considered for the role of Eleanor Shaw.
Tina Sinatra who was instrumental in deciding to remake the film, inherited the production rights from her father, Frank Sinatra who played Bennett Marco in the 1962 version.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): SPOILER: During the candidate's victory speech, Marco's rifle is poked through the grill/grate in the balcony. At the angle shown for the gun, the scope's view would have been obstructed by the grill/grate. However when he is shown looking through the scope, he has a "clear" unobstructed view.
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The length of Tom Jordan's paddle (it's too short for his height) and the way he paddles the kayak reveals that he's not an experienced kayaker as the movie states.
