The first version of Ronald Bass’ Entrapment screenplay contained a number of exciting action sequences that didn’t make it into the completed film. Many of these sequences – including a robbery that took place aboard a moving train – were scrapped in order to cut the film’s budget by $50 million.
Entrapment asked us to accept a nearly four-decade age gap between its leading couple Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the roles of Robert ‘Mac’ MacDougal and Virginia ‘Gin’ Baker. There were 39 years between the then 69-year-old former James Bond and his 30-year-old Welsh co-star Zeta-Jones, who only a year later would marry Michael Dougla...
Sean Connery, who was appearing in his last romantic leading role with Entrapment, was credited by co-producer Rhonda Tollefson as being a big reason why the film came in at $2 million below its original budget. Tollefson revealed that Connery’s “thrifty Scottish ways” saw him drive himself to the set and fly on commercial rather than private plane...
On set sources have revealed that rather than employing the skills of a stunt double, the talented Catherine Zeta-Jones performed many of her own stunts in Entrapment. These sources claimed that Zeta-Jones did every single one of the climbing and gymnastic stunts in the film’s brilliant “I stole the Rembrandt” sequence. [rtk_adunit_top]

Entrapment received mixed reviews from film critics, because whilst the late Roger Ebert believed that it “rivalled the Bond films in its climactic action sequence,” OK! were critical of what they believed was a far-fetched leading couple, writing “Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones? You gotta be kidding. The film’s alright-ish.” This lukewarm r...
The love scene between Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones in Entrapment was voted the second worst of all time in 2003. The poll, which was voted for by readers of Film magazine, had Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone’s love scene from 1995’s Casino in the number one spot. [rtk_adunit_middle]
The success of Entrapment at the box office meant that ideas for a sequel were discussed before eventually being abandoned. Entrapment 2 would have followed Gin as she attempted to cope with the recent death of Mac, a plot point that was forced by Sean Connery’s retirement from acting in 2003. [rtk_adunit_end]
