When was minority report filmed

It is set in Washington D. The film stars Tom Cruise as John Anderton, a pre-crime officer, who heads the pre-crime police force.

It is one of several films based on stories by Philip K. The film has a distinctive look, featuring desaturated colors which make it almost resemble a black-and-white film, yet the blacks and shadows have a high contrast, resembling a film noir picture. The film is set in Washington, D. The film opens as Anderton Cruise and his team are in the midst of apprehending a suspect. All other facts of the crime can only be ascertained by clues given by the various images relayed around the time of murder.

Images transfer from the pre-cogs' minds to a computer display, where Anderton manipulates the images in a manner similar to a virtual reality interface to better determine how the murders might or will happen. Anderton is observed during this process by Danny Witwer Farrell , an agent from the Department of Justice. Witwer is sent to evaluate the system because the country is about to vote on whether to expand the Pre-Crime program nationally.

Later that day Anderton goes to his apartment, where he watches home movies of his six-year old son. It becomes evident that his son is deceased, and that he is now divorced. The next morning, Witwer is given a tour of the pre-cogs' chamber. The pre-cogs are seen floating in a translucent substance, which a technician explains helps enhance the images that the pre-cogs produce. After the tour, Anderton stays behind, and the pre-cog Agatha Morton emerges from the pool.

She draws Anderton's attention to the ceiling, which displays images of a woman being murdered. Intrigued by a murder which he's never seen, Anderton decides to investigate.

He learns that the other pre-cogs' images are on record, but Agatha's recorded images are missing. He then conveys this information to Burgess Von Sydow , who appears unconcerned. Anderton then returns to the pre-crime offices and investigates a new case.

A murder is to take place in 36 hours. The murderer is revealed to be Anderton himself. He manages to escape Witwer and a team of pre-crime officers in a car factory and seeks refuge in the country home of a woman named Iris Hindeman, who was one of the pioneers of pre-crime. Hindeman reveals that the three pre-cogs do not always agree in their opinions about the future; when this happens, the dissenting opinion is left out. Thus, Anderton's only hope at proving his innocence is acquiring the hidden "minority report" from which the film takes its title.

Travelling undetected is difficult, since everyone is subjected to retina scans at all times. Therefore, Anderton visits a shady doctor played by Peter Stormare and receives an eye transplant. While sleeping to recover from the surgery he has a dream, where it is revealed that his son was abducted.

Vene L. Steven Spielberg. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. In the year A. They use three gifted humans called "Pre-Cogs" with special powers to see into the future and predict crimes beforehand. John Anderton heads Precrime and believes the system's flawlessness steadfastly. However one day the Pre-Cogs predict that Anderton will commit a murder himself in the next 36 hours.

Worse, Anderton doesn't even know the victim. He decides to get to the mystery's core by finding out the 'minority report' which means the prediction of the female Pre-Cog Agatha that "might" tell a different story and prove Anderton innocent. What would you do if you were accused of a murder, you had not committed Rated PG for violence, brief language, some sexuality and drug content.

What really spooks him, as in A. Anderton, in addition to his Precrime problems, is also aggrieved by the unsolved kidnapping six years ago of his son. He compulsively plays back holographic home movies of his boy and has a drug habit. All this is meant to humanize Anderton for us, but Tom Cruise doesn't really have much inner life as an actor, and so the effect is muddled.

Anderton is supposed to be running away from himself, from his demons, but that's not what comes across. He's running to get away. Cruise has become such a movie-star icon that we're supposed to gasp in awe whenever he gets down and dirty and messes with his iconography. In what amounted to a ghastly piece of reverse narcissism in Vanilla Sky , he spent half the movie sporting a surgically distended face.

It's as if he were saying, "Look how ugly I make myself and still you watch me. Cruise carries the movie, but I was relieved to turn to some of the other players, including Colin Farrell as Anderton's nemesis, and Samantha Morton as the most gifted of the Pre-cogs, for more evocative human shadings. Spielberg is still in his Kubrick mode in Minority Report , which is to say that, even more than in A.

I respect his desire to challenge himself and go deeper and darker. Much of the movie was set in of what is supposed to be the decaying city core of a future Washington, D.

But actually, most of these exterior urban scenes were shot on the east side of downtown L. A , some near Skid Row, including the rocket-pack chase scene and the scene where the robotic spiders invade a run-down rooming house.

They also filmed at the former El Dorado hotel an historic, story old high-rise located at S. Spring Street , in the downtown's old Financial District.
