Trivia: At one point in time, this was going to be the final entry in the series to star Tom Cruise. As originally intended, Cruise (Ethan Hunt) would have retired from field work at the end of the film and become the new head of IMF, while Jeremy Renner would become the new series lead. This was reportedly in part due to several infamous incidents involving Cruise in the mid-2000's, including his notorious Oprah Winfrey interview. These events caused issues during the promotion of "Mission: Impossible III," and the studio was still nervous about them years later. Eventually, cooler heads prevailed, and Cruise was thankfully allowed to stay with the series.

Trivia: Writer Gary J. Tunnicliffe is a massive fan of the "Hellraiser" series and wanted to make a legitimate good sequel to the prior films. He wrote the first draft of the script and was slated to direct. However, due to contractual obligations with another film and the rushed nature of "Revelations" production, he was forced to bow out. Tunnicliffe later learned that much of his script was re-written during filming and that much of his story and dialog had been drastically altered. (Ex. The "found footage" segments were not in his original script, and the structure had been greatly altered.) In a 2018 interview available on YouTube, he openly admitted the movie was terrible, and feels that due to the film's rushed schedule and some questionable choices made by the director and producers, the film greatly suffered. He later went on to write and direct the following film, "Hellraiser: Judgment", which despite receiving generally negative critical reviews, was typically viewed as one of the better sequels in the series.
