Trivia[]
- Despite Brian Dennehy’s death in April 2020, the character of Dom was recast to Ron Raines since the story is at an a place where [Dom] was absolutely instrumental in it. He’s the central point of the story. He knows a truth that everyone is trying to figure out. So while it was a difficult decision to do, we felt it was necessary, and we hope people understand that.
