A set of alien garbage collectors were created for a shot that was cut from the final film.The name appears in the original script and the novelization. Ruby Rhod's name was originally Loc Rhod.Elizabeth Berkley auditioned for the role of Leeloo, but after the failure of Showgirls, studios were reluctant to hire her.Jamie Foxx and Michael Jackson were considered for Ruby Rhod.Kevin Costner was considered for General Munroe.Jean Reno was considered for Korben Dallas.Originally, the film was going to star Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, and Prince.All the societal elites that Ruby points out at the opera were originally going to have more to do during the shootout at the hotel.That ending is featured in the novelization.

The original storyline was set in the year 2300, and was about a "nobody" named Zaltman Bleros (later renamed Korben Dallas) who wins a trip to the Club Med resort on the planet Fhloston Paradise.
