How it was made

Minority Report was the first film with an entirely digital 'previz' production design: the crew built simulated sets in Photoshop and 3D programs Maya and XSI, populated them with digital actors to plan shots, and let the video-game and visual-effects teams pull data from the system before the film was even finished.
Production designer Alex McDowell kept an 80-page 'bible' cataloguing the architecture, politics and technology of the film's 2054 setting, developed with a three-day think tank of futurists Spielberg convened in Santa Monica in 1999.
John Underkoffler, the film's science and technology advisor, designed most of Anderton's gestural data interface after Spielberg told him to make it feel 'like conducting an orchestra'; production designer Alex McDowell later worked with architect Greg Lynn on the technical design of the 3-D screens seen in the film.
