==Production== {{more citations needed section|date=November 2016}} [[Trent Reznor]] of the band [[Nine Inch Nails]] was originally asked to compose the film's [[Film score|score]]. However, early in the process, Romanek was allegedly pressured by the studio to hire a "real composer", and Reznor was dropped from the production. Some of the music that Reznor created for the film evolved into material found on the Nine Inch Nails [[Extended play|EP]] [[And All That Could Have Been#Still|''Still'']].<ref>{{cite web|archive-date=6 January 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060106205140/http://www.nin.com/access/5_07_04/index.php|url=http://www.nin.com/access/5_07_04/index.php|title=Access|author=Trent Reznor|publisher=nin.com|date=7 May 2004|access-date=19 February 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/dec/21/trent-reznor-dragon-tattoo-soundtrack | title=Trent Reznor: 'I'm not at war with myself as I once was' | newspaper=The Guardian | date=21 December 2011 | last1=Lynskey | first1=Dorian }}</ref> In accordance with the photography-themed movie, the names of several characters are drawn from actual photographers: Sy's assistant at the Savmart, Yoshi Araki (named for [[Nobuyoshi Araki]]), manager Bill Owens ([[Bill Owens (photographer)|Bill Owens]]), Det. Van Der Zee ([[James Van Der Zee]]), Det. Outerbridge ([[Paul Outerbridge]]), Maya Burson ([[Nancy Burson]]), and Savmart customers Mrs. von Unwerth ([[Ellen von Unwerth]]) and Mr. Siskind ([[Aaron Siskind]]). In one of the voice-over pieces, Sy can be heard saying, "They actually believe that any idiot that attends a two-day seminar can master the art of making beautiful prints in less than an hour. But of course, like most things, there's far more to it than meets the eye." Williams prepared for the role by training for two and a half days in a Southern California photo development lab.<ref>{{cite news|last=Maerz|first=Melissa|title=Robin Williams, Juilliard-trained tiger|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-xpm-2011-apr-17-la-ca-robin-williams-20110417-story.html|newspaper=[[The Los Angeles Times]]|publisher=[[Tribune Publishing]]|location=Los Angeles, California|date=April 17, 2011|access-date=November 4, 2013}}</ref> In an interview, Romanek said that he was inspired to create the movie by films from the 1970s about "lonely men", notably ''[[Taxi Driver]]'' (1976). In the [[DVD]] commentary, Romanek says that [[Jack Nicholson]] was first approached to play the lead character. Nicholson turned down the role reportedly because he thought that the character was too similar to the role he played in ''[[The Shining (film)|The Shining]]'' (1980).
