End of Days

On December 28th, 1999, the citizens of New York City are getting ready for the turn of the millennium. However, the Devil decides to crash the party by coming to the city, inhabiting a man’s body, and searching for his chosen bride, a 20-year-old woman named Christine York. [If he bears her child between 11:00 PM and midnight on New Year’s Eve], the world will end, and the only hope lies within an atheist ex-cop named Jericho Cane, who no longer believes in God because of the murder of his wife and daughter.

Was the last movie to be pressed in the laserdisc format in the United States.

Udo Kier claimed in an interview that he was considered for the role of Satan (Byrne) in the film but the producers didn’t want the hero and villain to both have German/Austrian accents, and he was eventually cast in a secondary role.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first film since Batman & Robin (1997). The reason for the gap was because of his heart surgery after playing Mr Freeze; the studios were anxious about whether or not they could insure him, and despite attempts to convince them he was in perfect health, he couldn’t get any work until End of Days (1999). Even then, he was amazed when insurance people and executives from Universal came to the set just to watch him, to see if he was still up to the action scenes. They asked Schwarzenegger if he enjoyed this kind of punishment, but he said he was used to it. After the first week of shooting, the insurance guys backed off and not long after, the film offers started rolling in again.

The role of Jericho Cane (Schwarzenegger) was originally written for Tom Cruise, but he instead chose to work on Magnolia (1999).

Liv Tyler, Jennifer Connelly and Kate Winslett were originally offered the role of Christine York (Tunney).
