Sunshine: Alerta solar

The actors all had to live together in order to create a palpable feeling onscreen that they all knew each other (Cillian Murphy was given dispensation to go home every night as his wife was pregnant at the time).

(at around 50 mins) Searle's statement about 80% of dust being human skin is a commonly held, but false, urban myth. Common household dust on Earth is composed of many different things, and none of them individually account for anything close to 80% of it. Moreover, the crew of the Icarus I apparently committed mass suicide early in their mission (when they reached Mercury), and dead people do not produce new skin cells. And even then, Searle should be able to deduce that the inch-thick dust over everything could never have accumulated from the skin cells of such a small crew - dead or alive.

At the end of the credits the sound of the distress beacon of the Icarus can be heard in the background.
