'Pandorum' is the first film in a proposed trilogy, but it is doubtful the sequels will ever see the light of day due to the first film's low box-office performance.
The movie was originally planned to be shot on video as a low-budget feature for $200,000, in an abandoned paper mill with unknown actors until Impact Pictures read the script and showed interest. Writer Travis Milloy never thought it would be considered as a studio production because of its dark tone.
André Hennicke, who plays the lead hunter, can be seen without the monster make-up. He plays the commanding officer of young Gallo in the opening scene.
The movie has gained a cult following over the years, fans have created a group on Facebook called "Fans for a Pandorum Sequel" in hopes of starting the franchise, director Christian Alvart and writer Travis Milloy have joined the group to their show support for a sequel.
Christian Alvart: [mirror shot] Bower (Ben Foster ) 'laser shaving,' in the beginning, he's reflected by 3 mirrors, effectively showing him 4 times from all angles (as well as the shaving effect).
