Foster became pregnant during the shooting schedule, so filming was suspended until after she gave birth. The filmmakers used computer-generated imagery to create the illusion of the film camera moving through the house's rooms. Her departure threatened the completion of the film, but Foster quickly replaced Kidman. Nicole Kidman was originally cast as the mother, but she left after aggravating a previous injury. The house and its panic room were built on a Raleigh Studios lot. Fincher and Koepp brought together a crew of people with whom each had worked before. The film was Fincher's fifth feature film, following Fight Club (1999). The script was written by David Koepp, whose screenplay was inspired by news coverage in 2000 about panic rooms. The film stars Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart as a mother and daughter whose new home is invaded by burglars, played by Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto, and Dwight Yoakam. Panic Room is a 2002 American thriller film directed by David Fincher.
