• The first sequel to The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) which had Matt Damon as Ripley. However, while that film took place in the 1950's, this film seems to take place in contemporary times (i.e. the 21st century), as one sees a microwave of modern design in the Trevanny home. Ripley should thus stand at the age of about seventy or eighty, but John Malkovich, who takes over the role from Matt Damon, stands at only 17 years older than Matt Damon.
