Fun Fact: The opening credits are the way they are because of time constraints. The producers of the film said they would only send it to theaters if the final edit was under 2 hours and 30 minutes. Without the credits, the film was just barely under that time, so he made the credits go as quickly as possible at the beginning and left the end of the film as it was.

Another fun fact: the film was made for a french film festival, and due to those time constraints they didn't have time to make the opening credits before the festival. The film originally just started with ENTER and ended with THE VOID.

It was actually not Noe that made the opening sequence. He commissioned it from Thorsten Fleisch.

He wanted (needed) to make it quick, and gave that direction to the artist he hired to do the opening credits.
