Trivia for
Tomorrow's Another Night (1998)
In the original script, Doug Stokes was twelve years old but still had a job at the liquor store.
Originally, one scene featured an underlined passage from The Count of Monte Cristo.
The movie resembles both L.A. Confidential and The Usual Suspects in nature.
It took director David Tillman four days to write the screenplay.
Upon realizing that because the bulk of filming took place at a realty agency, that some 'For Sale' signs appeared in a couple of shots, Tillman wrote in a scene where Howell explains that he had just bought a new house "on the right side of the tracks."
The film required a grueling amount of editing and re-editing and was finally completed more than five months after it was begun: a record for a CCN single cam.
The original credits thanked the Maplewood Police Station on the assumption that jail scenes would be filmed there; due to scheduling problems, those scenes were never filmed and the police station came out of the credits despite the fact that the final scenes were shot in its parking lot.
In the scene where Atkins drives the car out of the parking lot, Jon Garbar was actually behind the wheel since he was the only one on the set at the time who could actually drive.
The credits thank Lions Mints for providing catering. During filming at Klein Realtors, Robert Flaxman (Atkins) bought numerous rolls of Lions Mints and ate them during breaks in filming.
The opening shot of a scene where Howell and Atkins argue one-on-one across the desk had to be re-shot because in the original, Doug Stokes was not in the shot behind Howell when he should have still been sitting at the interrogation table.
Nearly all of the footage was shot between nine and eleven o'clock at night. The movie takes place in the early hours of the morning.
When the liquor store owner's expression changes as he counts the money, it is because Tillman was off-camera telling him to "look puzzled".
Due to the large amount of editing and re-editing, the entire movie, though black-and-white, has been given an unintentional type of color tint.
The CCN Pictures graphic that appears in red at the very end of the credits is the only intentional color that appears in the entire movie.
