Fun Facts

 * The tagline for this film is "Inner City vs. Outer Space".


 * At the time of filming, actor John Boyega probably thought this was going to be the biggest sci-fi/action film he would be involved with. He could never have predicted that only a few short years later, he would be cast in the role of FN-2187 (Finn), one of the main characters in the 2015 mega-blockbuster Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
