Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Man Who Wasn't There (1983)

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

  • Paramount, inspired by the success of Friday the 13th Part III, hired Friday series producer Frank Mancuso Jr. to make another 3-D film. With no script or team ready, the studio still announced an untitled 3-D film for summer 1983 and threw the production together very quickly.
  • The concept was to remake something from Paramount's library or a well-known subject and add 3-D effects. Rejected pitches included a 3-D remake of Rosemary's Baby; Mancuso instead chose a mixture of Foul Play and North by Northwest with invisibility elements.
