Chinook Theatre, January 2, 2014, with Bethany Luther and Melanie Luther. Soundtrack: "Trumpet Fanfare" - Composed by David Donaldson, David Long, Steve Roche & Janet Roddick; "I See Fire" - Written by Ed Sheeran, Performed by Ed Sheeran, Courtesy of Atlantic Records, Ed Sheeran appears courtesy of Asylum Records UK. Trivia: 1. It is an epic fantasy adventure film directed by Peter Jackson. It is the second instalment of a three-part film adaptation based on the 1937 novel The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. It was preceded by An Unexpected Journey (2012) and will conclude with There and Back Again (2014), and together they will act as a prequel to Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The Desolation of Smaug is set in Middle-earth sixty years before the events of The Lord of the Rings, and portions of the film are adapted from the appendices to Tolkien's The Return of the King. The wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) investigates a growing evil at Dol Guldur, while Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) continues his quest with thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch). 2. The film's screenplay was written by Peter Jackson, his longtime collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, and Guillermo del Toro, who was originally chosen to direct before leaving the project in 2010. The ensemble cast also includes Evangeline Lilly, Lee Pace, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, James Nesbitt, Ken Stott, Stephen Fry, Sylvester McCoy and Manu Bennett. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug premiered on 2 December 2013 in Los Angeles, and was released internationally on 11 December 2013. Like its predecessor, the film used a shooting and projection frame rate of 48 frames per second, which was advertised as "High Frame Rate" to the public. 3. Most of filming was finished during 2012, ending in July 2012, but during May 2013, additional shooting for the film and The Hobbit: There and Back Again, began in New Zealand, which lasted 10 weeks. 4. The musical score for The Desolation of Smaug was composed by Howard Shore in association with local New Zealand writing teams. It was performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. The original motion picture soundtrack album was released on December 10, 2013. It received positive reviews, especially for its new themes. English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran wrote and recorded "I See Fire" which plays during the end credits. 5. Benedict Cumberbatch suggested to read the Necromancer's Black Speech backwards to make it sound diabolic and unholy. 6. Peter Jackson repeats his cameo as carrot eating bystander (done originally in Fellowship of the Ring ) in the introduction of the movie in Bree. 7. Aside from providing the voice of Smaug, Benedict Cumberbatch also supplied motion-capture performance to portray the dragon. It took one week to render a scale from Smaug's body. 8. Orlando Bloom is two years older than Lee Pace who plays his father, King Thranduil. 9. When Bilbo first confronts the dragon Smaug, he explains who he is in various nicknames. He says that he comes from "under hill" to which Smaug replies, "Underhill?". This is the name by which Frodo Baggins covered his true identity "The Lord of the Rings" as per Gandalf's request. 10. After the barrel riding sequence, as the Orcs continue to search for the Dwarves, one of them dips his finger into a pool of blood on the ground and tastes it, spitting in disgust and says "Dwarf blood!". This mimics a scene from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) where Gimli dips his finger in a similar fashion into some blood left on some leaves and tastes it, only to spit out in disgust and say "Orc blood!" 11. In a midnight screening in São Paulo, Brazil, one of the cinema's speakers broke after Smaug's first roar. Benedict Cumberbatch studied iguanas and Komodo dragons at the London Zoo's Reptilian House to prepare for the role of Smaug. 12. The love triangle between Kili, Tauriel and Legolas was not a part of the original footage that was shot in 2011. It was added by studio request during re-shoots in 2012. 13. The 48 FPS 3D movie was shipped to some theaters via a standard SATA hard drive. It was shipped with a security code that prevented the content from being viewed or copied until the code was released by the distributor about 24 hours in advance of the initial release time of the movie. The 48 fps 3D version of the movie occupied 639 GB of data on the SATA Hard drive. The theater in question could have downloaded the entire movie via a secure satellite link, but the download would have taken more than a full 24 hours. Given that 96 frames per second are required for the 3D picture (48 fps for each eye), the data size for each frame for each eye is about .66 mb (mega bytes). 14. Bombur doesn't speak for the entire movie. 15. To prepare for the role of Tauriel, Evangeline Lilly underwent training for swordplay and archery, as well as in the Elvish language for the role. 16. This is the second time that Katie Jackson has had a cameo in Middle Earth. In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) she and her brother had a cameo as two of the little hobbit children listening to "Uncle Bilbo's" story about almost being eaten by trolls. Now she has another cameo in one of her father's films as the hobbit barmaid who serves Thorin and Gandalf in Bree. 17. When Benedict Cumberbatch was still young, his father, actor Timothy Carlton used to read "The Hobbit" to him as a bedtime treat. 18. Conceptual designer Alan Lee appears as one of the musicians, when some of the Dwarves and Bilbo leave Laketown. He also appeared as one of the 9 kings of men in the intro of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). 19. Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch filmed their roles while on hiatus from Sherlock (2010). Stephen Fry played Sherlock's brother Mycroft in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011), while Christopher Lee played Sherlock in Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady (1991) Sir Henry Baskerville in The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), and Mycroft Holmes in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970), which also featured Robert Stephens (Aragorn on BBC Radio) as Holmes. 20. Both Ian Holm and Christopher Lee filmed their scenes at London's Pinewood Studios because, due to reasons of health, neither were comfortable about flying to New Zealand. 21. Originally Doug Jones was meant to play King Thranduil, but Peter Jackson cast Lee Pace, of whom he was a big admirer since watching Pace's film The Fall (2006). 22. The jolly "Welcome!" by the Master of Laketown is also the trademark opening by Stephen Fry on his own show QI (2003). 23. Jed Brophy appears in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) as Nori. His son Sadwyn Brophy appeared as Eldarion in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). 24. According to screenwriter Philippa Boyens, the character of Tauriel is an original creation written for the film: "She's our redhead. We created her for that reason. To bring that energy into the film, that feminine energy. We believe it's completely within the spirit of Tolkien." 25. Benedict Cumberbatch, Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett, Martin Freeman, Lee Pace and Richard Armitage of the cast were all chosen by the readers of Empire Magazine among 'The 100 Sexiest Movie Stars' in 2013. 26. A pair of Megaloceras (Irish elk) antlers flanks the Elf king's throne. 27. Robert Kazinsky was cast as Fili and had filmed a few scenes, but left the project and returned to England about a month after filming started due to personal reasons. He was replaced by Dean O'Gorman. 28. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) and this film, its sequel, wrapped on July 6, 2012 after 266 days of principal photography. 29. The roles of Sigrid and Tilda, the daughters of Bard, are played by Peggy and Mary Nesbitt, the daughters of James Nesbitt (Bofur). 30. Evangeline Lilly has been a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Middle-Earth" novels since she was 13. 31. Both Lee Pace (Thranduil) and Luke Evans have been the lead in a fantasy epic directed by Tarsem Singh. 32. As the company has entered Beorn's house, Dori (Mark Hadlow) tells Ori (Adam Brown) to stay away from the door, and then says: "It's not natural. None of it." This is the exact same quote as Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) says to Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) after climbing down their Elvish rope in the beginning of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002). 33. Nathaniel Lees was originally cast as the Necromancer. 34. Cameos: Stephen Colbert: as the Eye-Patch wearing Lakewood Spy who knocks on the door with the walking stick; Katie Jackson: as the barmaid serving Thorin and Gandalf at The Prancing Pony. 35. Director Cameo: Peter Jackson: at the beginning of the film as the camera sweeps through the town, he walks out of the pub looking drunk. 36. Gloin takes great insult that his bearded wife is mistaken for being his brother. In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), his son Gimli notes that Dwarf women are often mistaken for men, on account of the beards. 37. When elf king Thranduil talks with Thorin, at a point of the conversation can be seen Thranduil's face changing, showing some scars. This is a non-canon detail. According with Tolkien's texts and books, the last battle where Thranduil fought was the last alliance at the end of the Second Age (about three millennia ago), where Sauron was defeated. The scars are a Jackson's creative liberty, showing them as a symbol of Thranduil's endurance by war. 38. When Bilbo puts The One Ring in the black forest of Mirkwood, he can understand the giant spiders. In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), Frodo could hear the Nazgul when both met in the Weathertop. Mirkwood is a derivation from the Germanic word "Myrkviðr" and it means "Dark Wood". 39. When Kili is being saved by Tauriel of the Morgul's poisoned arrow, Kili see Tauriel surrounded by light. In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), the first time that Frodo, hurt by a Morgul's knife, see Arwen, this one too appears surrounded by light. 40. When The Necromancer is revealed as Sauron, this one appears as a ghost embodied with an armor, as well as he was in the prologue of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). 41. During the confrontation between Gandalf with The Necromancer, this one reveals himself as Sauron, meanwhile his shadow turning in a giant fire eye with a black pupil inside. This was his shape in the Lord of the Rings original trilogy. 42. The first meeting between Gandalf and Radagast have place in the mountains of High Fells of Rhudaur, to investigate an underground cave. They find some tombs desecrated, and its iron doors blow out. These are the tombs of the Nazgul (the ancient nine kings of men), mentioned by Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012). Rhudaur is a Sindarin word (a fictional language created by Tolkien) and means "Eastern Forest". 43. Lawrence Makoare, who plays Bolg, played the Uruk-Hai's leader Lurtz in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), and Witch-King of Angmar and the Orcs' leader Gothmog in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). 44. At a point of the movie, Bilbo and the company of Dwarves arrive to Laketown, which it was mentioned in a conversation between an aging Bilbo (Ian Holm) to Frodo (Elijah Wood) in Rivendell, in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). Quotes: 1. Bilbo Baggins: "What have we done?" 2. Balin: "It never ceases to amaze me, the courage of Hobbits..."

Trivia: It is an American western adventure film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film stars Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, and Samuel L. Jackson. The film was released on December 25, 2012 (Christmas Day), in North America.[5][6]

Set in the antebellum era of the Deep South and Old West, the film follows a freed slave (Foxx) who treks across the United States with a bounty hunter (Waltz) on a mission to rescue his wife (Washington) from a cruel plantation owner (DiCaprio).

The film received very positive reviews from critics and was nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture. Christoph Waltz received several accolades for his performance, and won the Golden Globe, the BAFTA and his second Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. His first Oscar was for another Tarantino film, 2009's Inglourious Basterds; few actors have won more than once in this category.[7] Tarantino won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, his second Oscar in this category for which he first won in 1995 for co-writing Pulp Fiction, as well as the Golden Globe and the BAFTA. The film grossed over $425 million in theaters worldwide, making it Tarantino's highest grossing film to date.
In a post-credits scene, a group of slaves who appeared earlier in the film wonder aloud who Django really was.

In 2007, Tarantino discussed an idea for a form of spaghetti western set in the United States' pre-Civil War Deep South which he called "a southern", stating that he wanted "to do movies that deal with America's horrible past with slavery and stuff but do them like spaghetti westerns, not like big issue movies. I want to do them like they're genre films, but they deal with everything that America has never dealt with because it's ashamed of it, and other countries don't really deal with because they don't feel they have the right to." One inspiration for the film is Corbucci's 1966 spaghetti western Django, whose star Franco Nero has a cameo appearance in Django Unchained.[12] Another inspiration is the 1975 film Mandingo, about a slave trained to fight other slaves.[13] Tarantino included scenes in the snow as an homage to The Great Silence.

Django's valet costume was inspired by Thomas Gainsborough’s 1770 oil painting, The Blue Boy.
Controversy: Some commentators have felt the film's heavy usage of the word "nigger" is inappropriate, affecting them to an even greater extent than the depicted violence against the slaves.[65][66] Other reviewers[67] have defended the usage of the language in the historic context of race and slavery in the United States.[68]

Filmmaker Spike Lee, in an interview with Vibe, said he would not see the film, explaining "All I'm going to say is that it's disrespectful to my ancestors. That's just me...I'm not speaking on behalf of anybody else."[69] Lee later wrote, "American slavery was not a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It was a Holocaust. My ancestors are slaves stolen from Africa. I will honor them."[70] Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, interpreted the movie as "preparation for race war." Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe compared Samuel L. Jackson's Stephen character to black Republicans like Clarence Thomas or Herman Cain.[72] Samuel L. Jackson said that he believed his character to have "the same moral compass as Clarence Thomas does." Jackson defended heavy use of the word nigger, claiming: "Saying Tarantino said 'nigger' too many times is like complaining they said 'kyke' too many times in a movie about Nazis."

Writing in The New Yorker, William Jelani Cobb observed that Tarantino's occasional historical elasticity sometimes worked to the film's advantage. "There are moments," Cobb wrote, "where this convex history works brilliantly, like when Tarantino depicts the Ku Klux Klan a decade prior to its actual formation in order to thoroughly ridicule its members’ veiled racism."[87] The marauding masked group depicted in the film were known as "The Regulators" and were depicted as spiritual forebears of the later post-civil war KKK and not as the actual KKK.

When Leonardo DiCaprio's character Calvin Candie smashes the palm of his hand on the dinner table, the actor broke a glass under his hand and really began to bleed. DiCaprio ignored it, stayed in character, and continued with the scene. This take was the one used in the film.

Christoph Waltz turned down the role when first given the script. He felt it was too tailored to his persona. 'Quentin Tarantino' insisted and wouldn't take no for an answer. Waltz agreed under one condition: his character had to be pure, and never once act in negative or evil manner. Tarantino sent him a hand written letter that simply said "Of Course, Mein Herr!- Q" Waltz sent a telegram back "Mein Herr, Of Course!- CW"

According to critic Alex Ross, the alliance between Django and Dr. Schultz is "not as absurd" as audiences might believe, because in the 1840s many German revolutionaries and progressives left Europe for the U.S. where they often became active in the anti-slavery movement.

After working on this film, composer Ennio Morricone said he would probably never again collaborate with Quentin Tarantino since he didn't like the way the writer/director "places music in his films without coherence" and "never giving enough time". Morricone and Tarantino had also worked together on three previous movies.

The film did not receive a rating from the MPAA until over a week before it's wide domestic release. Nevertheless, Quentin Tarantino decided in the best interests of audiences to tone down the film's violence. According to Tarantino, "[the MPAA] actually gave an R rating to a rougher version than I ultimately ended up presenting to the public...I could handle a rougher version of the movie than what exists right now. I have more of a tolerance for it, but I kind of realized that when I watched that version of the movie with audiences, that I was traumatizing them too much. It's just that f**king simple. And I want people to enjoy the movie at the very end of it."

Sid Haig was a strong contender for the role of "Mr. Stonesipher", so much so that casting director Victoria Thomas informed Haig's agent, "It's a lock". Quentin Tarantino himself scheduled, and later canceled at the last minute, two auditions for Haig. Two months later the role quietly went to David Steen instead. Tarantino being known for his extremely dry humor, this "prank" is presumably rooted in Haig turning down the role of Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction (1994) 17 years previously.

After the initial explosion of Candyland plantation towards the films climax, the song "Trinity: Titoli" by Franco Micalizzi is heard playing during Django's exodus. An extra smaller explosion was added in post production while Jamie Foxx is walking away from the buildings burning remains to cover the segment of Micalizzi's song "Sleepy type guy" that was uttered to describe the main character of the song. This segment was an accurate description for the character of "Trinity" from the 1970 spaghetti western My Name Is Trinity (1970) which this song was written for. This phrase was used due to the character's introduction of sleeping and being towed across the desert in a makeshift bed tied behind his horse. However this quote did not match the character of Django, who is never seen to rest throughout Django Unchained (2012). Hence the cover up of this segment of the song, that would have caused some confusion.

The biblical verse John Brittle is saying before he is killed by Django is a version of Genesis 9:2 "And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered." There were many people in the slave trade that would use the bible to defend their pro slavery views, as there are many passages that tell slaves to be obedient to their masters, how to treat them and how they will encounter the afterlife.

Early in the film Christoph Waltz kills a town sheriff, and is about to be arrested by the local U.S. Marshal until he pulls out an arrest warrant for the man he has just killed. Later in the film, he points out Monsieur Candie's fondness for Alexandre Dumas père, whose novel "The Three Musketeers" features a similar discussion between d'Artagnan and Cardinal Richelieu, who was played by Waltz in The Three Musketeers (2011).

The men in hoods pursuing Dr. Shultz and Django are often mistaken for the KKK, which wasn't founded until 7 years after the events of this movie, in 1865. However, according to Quentin Tarantino the men are predecessors to the Ku Klux Klan called the Regulators.
In the film there is a cotton plantation located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This region (The Grand Division of East Tennessee) is very mountainous and inhospitable for cotton, preventing large plantations from arising. As a result, the region had a low slave population which translated to anti-slavery and pro-Union sentiments in the years leading to the Civil War.

The film mentions Lubbock, Texas. Lubbock did not exist in 1858 and would not come into being until well after the Civil War (Lubbock was founded in 1876 and the film is based in 1858 and proceeds through the winter into the spring of 1859). In 1858 the Panhandle of Texas was not traversed by the faint-hearted as it was essentially populated by only Kiowas and Comanches.

Calvin Candie compares a slave to a teddy bear, even though teddy bears were not yet invented until the time when Theodore Roosevelt was president, hence the name "teddy". Oddly enough, the film is set in 1858, that president's birth year.

Trivia: It is an American romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by David O. Russell,[3] adapted from the novel The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick. The film stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, with Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver, Chris Tucker, Anupam Kher, and Julia Stiles in supporting roles.

Cooper plays Patrick "Pat" Solitano, Jr., a man with bipolar disorder who is released from a psychiatric hospital and moves back in with his parents (De Niro and Weaver). Determined to win back his estranged wife, Pat meets recently widowed Tiffany Maxwell (Lawrence). She tells Pat that she will help him get his wife back if he enters a dance competition with her. The two become closer as they train and Pat, his father, and Tiffany examine their relationships with each other as they cope with their issues.

Silver Linings Playbook premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2012, and was released in the United States on November 16, 2012.[4] The film opened to major critical success and earned numerous accolades. It received eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay; it became the first film since 1981 (Warren Beatty's Reds) to be Oscar-nominated for the four acting categories and the first since 2004 to be nominated for the Big Five Oscars,[5] with Lawrence winning the Academy Award for Best Actress.[6] It also achieved four Golden Globe Award nominations, with Lawrence winning Best Actress; three BAFTA nominations, with Russell winning for Best Adapted Screenplay; four Screen Actors Guild nominations; and five Independent Spirit Award nominations, winning in four categories including Best Film.[7][8][9][10] The film was a blockbuster at the box office, grossing over $236 million worldwide, more than eleven times its budget.

The film was shot on a 33-day schedule. A darker, more extreme version of the dance sequence was filmed and scenes with De Niro's character were shot in multiple versions, with the character harsher or warmer, as Russell worked with editor Jay Cassidy to set the balance they wanted.[20]

The locations are Upper Darby and Ridley Park, small communities just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although not mentioned by name in the film, it is credited at the end, and a police officer can be seen wearing the initials "RPPD" on his collar.[22]

The film takes place over the second half of the 2008 NFL football season,[23] which saw the Philadelphia Eagles advance to the NFC Championship Game. Several games are mentioned, including the Eagles' victories over Seattle and San Francisco, their losses to the Washington Redskins,[24] New York Giants (which was the game Pat was attending when the fight broke out) and their victory over Dallas in the season's final game.
Cooper, Lawrence, De Niro and Weaver have all been lauded for their performances, with praise especially reserved for Cooper and Lawrence.

Robert De Niro actually teared up during the scene when Pat Sr. tells Pat he wished he was closer to him, which was not scripted.

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence spent weeks practicing the climactic ballroom dance routine with choreographer Mandy Moore. "None of that was improvised, absolutely not," asserts Lawrence. "I'm a terrible dancer, so I would never have been able to do any of that. When it finally came together, that scene really was just as fun as it feels." Lawrence even mentioned that compared to her, Cooper took to dancing quite naturally, when in fact it's her character Tiffany that's supposed to be the experienced dancer, and Pat, the amateur.

The title of the movie (and its source novel) is a source of confusion for some, especially people not very familiar with idiomatic English. The "Silver Linings" part of the title comes from the common expression "every cloud has a silver lining," which means "look on the bright side" or "nothing is all bad." The first documented use of the phrase in this way is from John Milton's 1634 work "Comus I." A "Playbook" is a written or mental list of athletic strategies that a coach creates to guide a team through a game or a sport. So in combination, the title refers to an arsenal of strategies for Pat to use while trying to look on the brighter side of life.

Throughout the movie, Dolores (Jacki Weaver) announces to her family and visiting friends that she has made "crabby snacks and homemades" for them to eat while watching football. Many critics and viewers outside of the Philadelphia area assumed this was some sort of term for a Philadelphia Eagles food tradition, but most Philadelphia-area viewers were just as mystified by the term as everyone else. Weaver herself, in a November 2012 New York Magazine interview, admitted that she couldn't remember what the term meant, although she had known at the time of shooting the movie. Finally, the Philadelphia Daily News reported that "crabby snacks" are a canapé that Doreen Quick (mother of Silver Linings Playbook source novelist Matthew Quick) used to make for gamedays and other gatherings. The recipe consists of canned crabmeat and processed cheese cooked together and spread onto English muffins, and cut into quarters. "Homemades" are egg noodles made from scratch.

Jennifer Lawrence does not appear until about 25 minutes into the film.
Jacki Weaver contributed to a critical aspect of the film. "I was sitting there with 300 other people in the ballroom watching the dance scene," she recalls. "It's crucial that they get 5 points in order to win the parlay bet. The judges kept holding up their scores in take after take. I'm not great at math, but I kept adding them up thinking, 'That doesn't add up to 5.' So I told one of the producers that it didn't average 5 and he said, 'Oh my God!' and they changed it. So yeah, I saved the film."
The book that Pat tosses out the window is A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway.
During one of the Eagles games early in the movie, it is said the Eagles are beating the Seahawks 27-10. Later in the movie as Jennifer Lawrence is reciting all of the good results since she and Bradley Cooper have been together, she mentions the Eagles beat the Seahawks 14-7. The Eagles actually won that game 26-7.
On the night after the Giants game, the characters argue about betting on the final game of the season against the Cowboys. One of the characters mentions that the point spread is one-and-a-half, although this takes place seven weeks before the Cowboys game and there would be no point spread yet.

The Eagles' games mentioned during the film took place during the 2008 season, but they take place out of the order in which they actually occurred.
Quotes: 1. Tiffany: I opened up to you, and you judged me. 2. Pat: The only way you can beat my crazy was by doing something crazy yourself. Thank you. I love you. I knew it the minute I met you. I'm sorry it took so long for me to catch up. I just got stuck. 3. [repeated line] Officer Keogh: You wanna go back to Baltimore?
Anachronisms: 1. Based on the Eagles' games mentioned in the film, it takes place in 2008. However, a fan can be seen wearing a Nnamdi Asomugha jersey, who didn't join the team until 2011. 2. At the Eagles game a fan can be seen wearing a Michael Vick jersey. Vick was not signed to the team in 2008.

Trivia: It is an American comedy film directed, co-produced and co-written by Seth MacFarlane, with MacFarlane, Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis in leading roles. The supporting cast includes Joel McHale and Giovanni Ribisi.

The film is MacFarlane's feature-length directorial debut,[1] produced by Media Rights Capital and distributed by Universal Pictures. It was released on June 29, 2012, to critical and commercial success, becoming the 12th highest-grossing film of 2012, the highest-grossing R-rated film of the year, and the highest-grossing original R-rated comedy of all time.[2][3][4] The film also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. Seth MacFarlane's directorial debut is a live-action effort, with computer animation handled by visual effects facilities Tippett Studio and Iloura. MacFarlane wrote the screenplay with his Family Guy colleagues Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. A sequel has been announced to be released on June 26, 2015 by Seth MacFarlane and Universal Studios.

At one point in the movie, Ted mentions 9/11. Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane both narrowly missed being on the planes that hit the World Trade Center. Wahlberg was booked on American Airlines Flight 11 but decided to drive up to New York and fly to California later. McFarlane was scheduled on the same flight but arrived to gate ten minutes late and was unable to board. He was sitting in the airport when he saw that his plane had hit the North Tower of the World trade center.

The integrated archive footage of Ted on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Episode dated 29 February 1984 (1984) was culled from the broadcast of February 29, 1984. Johnny Carson's actual guest that night was Emmanuel Lewis. This can easily be determined by when Johnny, upon Ted's arrival, says, "I thought you'd be taller." Although Ted responded, "I thought you were gonna be funnier," Emmanuel's actual response was, "Me too."

At the end of the movie the narrator states that Sam J. Jones moved in with Brandon Routh. Both actors starred in a movie as the title characters based on a comic book with Jones in Flash Gordon (1980) and Routh in Superman Returns (2006). There were plans for a follow up to both films, but they were scrapped when their studio was disappointed with their box office gross despite having a warm reception from fans and critics.
Quotes: 1. Ted: [to fat kid] Back off, Susan Boyle! 2. Ted: Oh, come on! I do not sound that much like Peter Griffin! 3. Johnny Carson: You know I thought you'd be taller." Young Ted: I thought *you* were gonna be funnier.
Anachronisms: 1. At Christmas of 1985 a boy is opening a Nintendo Action Set which was not released until 1988. 2. When we see the shot of "Action News Georgia," the backdrop is of Atlanta. However, damage to the Westin Peachtree Plaza is visible. This damage is from a tornado that hit downtown Atlanta in 2008, well after the news report from 1985.

Struck by Lightning. 2012, Starring
Chris Colfer as Carson Phillips,[3] the main protagonist of the film and the head of the school's writing club. He is killed when he is struck by lightning in the opening scene. He is disliked, belittled and insulted by his peers, mostly for his sarcastic and dry personality that he gained after his parents' divorce. However, despite his constant sarcasm and bitterness, Carson is also seen as a very caring individual and puts who he loves first, such as being slightly forgiving and sympathetic towards Claire, often visiting his grandmother in the assisted living home, giving Malerie advice about her short stories, and covering his mother with a blanket when he sees her passed out on the couch.
Allison Janney as Sheryl Phillips,[4] Carson's alcoholic and pill-popping single mother who doesn't want him to leave home.
Christina Hendricks as April,[3] the pregnant fiancée of Carson's father, Neal. She goes to Carson's funeral, but has apparently broken up with Neal.
Sarah Hyland as Claire Mathews,[4] the bitchy head cheerleader, as well as the class president, who is having sex with her boyfriend's brother, the school football coach. It is later on revealed that the only reason for her bitchy behavior is because she gave up on her dreams of becoming a professional dancer, because she got laughed at by her second grade class, with Carson as the only exception. In the end, it's revealed that she took Carson's advice into consideration for ideas about the school prom.
Carter Jenkins as Nicholas Forbes,[5] a wealthy closeted gay student who is secretly involved with Scott Thomas.
Brad Henke as Principal Gifford,[5] the school principal with anger management issues.
Rebel Wilson as Malerie Baggs,[6] Carson's best friend and partner-in-crime. She likes to videotape everything in order to preserve her memories of high school.
Angela Kinsey as Ms. Sharpton,[5] the school's clueless guidance counselor.
Polly Bergen as Grandma,[5] Carson's grandmother who's suffering from Alzheimer's.
Dermot Mulroney as Neal Phillips,[4] Carson's absent father.
Allie Grant as Remy Baker,[5] the high-strung editor of the school yearbook.
Ashley Rickards as Vicki Jordan,[7] an apathetic goth girl.
Robbie Amell as Justin Walker,[5] the meat-head captain of the football team.
Charlie Finn as Coach Colin Walker, the coach of the school's football team and Justin's older brother.
Roberto Aguire as Emilio Lopez,[8] supposedly a foreign exchange student from El Salvador, but he is actually from San Diego and only knows basic Spanish.
Matt Prokop as Dwayne Michaels,[9] the school's resident pothead.
Graham Rogers as Scott Thomas, the flamboyant drama club president. Like Carson, he believes he is destined to do very big things in his life. By the end of the film, he and Nicholas are seen sitting together at Carson's funeral.
Adam Kolkin as Young Carson Phillips.

Trivia: It is a coming-of-age comedy-drama film written by and starring Chris Colfer, also based on his novel, and directed by Brian Dannelly. After high school senior Carson Phillips is struck by lightning and killed in his high-school parking lot, he recounts the way he blackmailed his classmates into contributing to his literary magazine. The film had its world premiere at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival on April 21, 2012. The film is now available on Demand and was released theatrically on January 11, 2013. The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on May 21, 2013. Struck by Lightning has received mixed reception, holding a Metacritic score of 41, and a Rotten Tomatoes score of 30%. The most common complaint from reviewers was the fact that Colfer's character came off as too arrogant and cynical, and didn't manage to be likeable. Many reviews agreed that the dialogue was witty and funny and that the cast gave strong performances Many critics also praised Colfer's debut as a screenwriter. Rebel Wilson was cast the day before filming began. Casting director, Michael V. Nicolo, had a dream about her in the role of Malerie and she came in to audition the next day.
Quotes: 1. Carson Phillips: 'Life comes at you fast, it hits you and tries to escape and be expressed in any way possible. In a way, it's a lot like... lightning" 2. Carson Phillips: What I regretted most was that I lived every day waiting for my life to begin. The higher your cloud, the further your rain falls."

Trivia: It is an Australian musical comedy-drama film produced by Goalpost Pictures and distributed by Hopscotch Films, based on the 2004 stage play of the same name which is loosely based on a true story.[5] The film is directed by Wayne Blair and written by Keith Thompson and Tony Briggs, the latter of whom wrote the play. The film is about four indigenous women, Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy), Kay (Shari Sebbens) and Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell), who are discovered by a talent scout (Chris O'Dowd), and form a music group called The Sapphires, travelling to Vietnam in 1968 to sing for troops during the war. Production began in 2010, with the casting of the four members of The Sapphires, and filming taking place throughout New South Wales in Australia and Vietnam during August and September 2011. The Sapphires made its world premiere at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival on 19 May 2012 during its out of competition screenings, was theatrically released in Australia on 9 August and received a limited release in the United States on March 22, 2013.
The true story: There had indeed been an all-female Australian aboriginal singing group named The Sapphires in the 1960s, although originally there were three of them: Laurel Robinson (the mother of screenwriter Tony Briggs), Beverly Briggs and Naomi Mayers. They performed at hotels, pubs, cabarets, clubs, parties, army barracks and universities around Melbourne.[6][7] When they were invited to Vietnam to perform for the troops, Briggs and Mayers declined, as they were against the war, so Robinson enlisted her sister Lois Peeler to join her.[6] In Vietnam, the duo of Robinson and Peeler performed backing vocals for a New Zealand Maori band they had performed with in Melbourne.[5][8] It was this Maori band who introduced them to soul music; the character of Dave Lovelace, portrayed in the film by Chris O'Dowd, did not exist.[8] Director Wayne Blair, talking about the creation of the Lovelace character, said "That's where we went a bit Argo'".[9] Tony Briggs said in an interview in The Age in 2004 "he found it liberating as a writer to expand the number of characters" as it made the dynamics of the story richer.
Based on Tony Briggs' 2004 play of the same name, the film was first announced in June 2010.[7] The screenplay was co-written by Briggs and Keith Thompson. Filming primarily took place in New South Wales, at Albury, (and its surrounding towns Corowa, Howlong, Culcairn, Henty and Morven), with additional shooting taking place in Windsor, Camden, Summerhill, Newtown, and Canal Road Studios in Leichhardt, between August and September 2011.[10][11][12] The rest of the film's production was moved to Vietnam, for a limited shoot.
On 2 June 2010, a press release announced that an open casting call had begun for The Sapphires, and that Goalpost Pictures Australia were searching for "four young Indigenous women, aged 16 – 28, to play the leading roles of the four members of [the title singing group]".[13] The audition process involved submitting an audition tape to the casting website by 31 July 2010.[13] Australian singer Casey Donovan, who had starred as Cynthia McCrae in the musical's 2010 production, auditioned for that part, but was unsuccessful, with the role instead going to newcomer Miranda Tapsell.[14] Deborah Mailman, who also starred as Cynthia in the original 2004 production of the musical, landed the role of Gail McCrae, and Jessica Mauboy joined the film, being cast as Gail's sister Julie.[15][16][17] In August 2011, the roles of all four group members were officially announced, when another newcomer, Shari Sebbens, joined the cast as Kay McCrae.[15][18] Chris O'Dowd was added to the film, playing the role of Dave, who discovers The Sapphires.
Soundtrack: The original soundtrack was released on 27 July 2012 by Sony Music.[20] It features the vocals of Jessica Mauboy, Jade Macrae, Lou Bennett, Juanita Tippens and Darren Percival, with Mauboy singing in ten of the sixteen songs.[21] An original track called "Gotcha", co-written by Mauboy, Ilan Kidron, and Louis Schoorl, was released as a single on 13 July.[22][23][24] Two weeks after its chart debut, The Sapphires soundtrack hit number one on the ARIA Album Chart and the ARIA Australian Albums Chart.
Home media: The US release of the DVD attracted controversy as the result of the design for the DVD's cover. The artwork placed actor Chris O'Dowd prominently in the foreground, with the four female stars appearing in the background and coloured with a blue wash. The decision was described as both sexist and racist, with O'Dowd describing the decision as "ill-judged, insensitive and everything the film wasn't". Anchor Bay expressed regret for any "unintentional upset caused" and said different artwork was being considered for future orders.

There really was an Australian girl group in the 60s called The Sapphires but they only had three members not four. When they were invited to tour for the troops in Vietnam, two of the group declined due to their anti-war stance, so the remaining Sapphire drafted in her sister to help her out.

The film premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival where it received a 10 minute standing ovation.
The Sapphires are shown performing for the 19th Infantry Division. However, the 19th Infantry Division was deactivated in 1944 and never served in Vietnam.

Quotes: 1. Dave: "Can you do it blacker?" Dave: "Before we go than, girls when I met you you were doing all country and western thing and that's fine we all make mistakes. But here is what we learn from that mistake. Country and western music is about loss. Soul music is also about loss. But the difference is in country and western music, they've lost, they've given up and they are just all wining about it. In soul music they are struggling to get it back, they haven't given up."
Anachronisms: 1. At the Tupperware party set in 1968, someone is seen holding a Tupperware product from the 1980s, the Harvest Gold Microwave Steamer. 2. The movie is set in 1968, but The Sapphires sing The Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There" (released in 1972) and Merle Haggard's "Today I Started Loving You Again" (released in 1970). It also features "Run Through the Jungle" (released in 1970) in the opening scene.

To do your job well, an admissions officer must be on the receiving end of an entire nation's application panic, endure the frustration of all the parents who just realized there isn't room for every organically-fed, well-tutored offspring. Of course everyone thinks we're sadists, that we like saying no. We are in this job for one reason, to say yes."

Trivia: 1. It is a Canadian/French romantic science fiction film written and directed by Juan Diego Solanas, starring Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst. 2. The film starts with Adam telling the story of his two-planet home world, unique from other planets or planetary systems as it is the only one that has "dual gravity". This phenomenon of dual gravity allows the two planets to orbit each other in what would otherwise be impossibly close proximity. There are three immutable laws of gravity for this two-planet system: a. All matter is pulled by the gravity of the world that it comes from, and not the other. b. An object's weight can be offset using matter from the opposite world (inverse matter). c. After a few hours of contact, matter in contact with inverse matter burns.
The film was leaked as a torrent in 12 December 2012, causing the MPAA to start an internal investigation on its practices. 3. The French production company Studio 37 initially searched for an American co-producer, and received positive response from Hollywood representatives who read the screenplay. However, because of cultural differences, they decided to look for European partners instead, as they thought it would be essential for the project to be driven primarily by its director. The film was eventually produced by Studio 37, Onyx Films and the Montreal-based company Transfilm, for a budget of $50 million. 4. Variety reported from the Cannes Film Market in 2009 that Kirsten Dunst and Emile Hirsch were in talks to play the film's two leading roles. A few months later the same magazine reported that Jim Sturgess had been cast instead of Hirsch. 5. Principal photography started in Montreal in February 2010. Filming and post-production were located in Canada because of the country's low taxes for film productions. Producer Dimitri Rassam said: "We couldn't have made Upside Down without the French funding system but there was no way we could have shot [in France] because the tax rebate is not attractive enough." 6. The scene where Adam first puts on the weights and flips upside down is actually shot in a room that is suspended in a big giant wheel. The room itself, and everything inside it, moves 360 degrees. The camera moves with the room, so you can't tell if the room is moving, but you can see him flipping upside down. 7. The film was inspired by an image the director had in a dream. One set featured an upside chandelier. "We built three quarters of a chandelier, not the very top, but everything else, (and there) was a steel rod up the center holding it down," says Production Designer Alex McDowell. "We had to wire up the crystals so that they looked like they were hanging." 8. For the Floor Zero scenes, Production Designer Alex McDowell's team built two sets, which sat side-by-side, as if the screen had been sliced down the middle and folded open. When characters between the two worlds interact, the "down" scene takes place on one set and the "up" scenes takes place on the other, simultaneously. While the director and production designer wanted to use real-life environments as much as possible, green screen was necessary to expand beyond the set in places such as windows. Quotes: 1. Adam: "Up-top, they always win, And down-below, we always fail." 2. Adam: "Gravity, they say you can't fight it. Well, I disagree. What if love was stronger than gravity."

Performed by Broncho. Trivia: It is an American sketch comedy anthology film co-directed and produced by Peter Farrelly, and written by Rocky Russo and Jeremy Sosenko among others. The film features sixteen different storylines, each one done by a different director, including Elizabeth Banks, Steven Brill, Steve Carr, Rusty Cundieff, James Duffy, Griffin Dunne, Patrik Forsberg, James Gunn, Bob Odenkirk, Brett Ratner, Will Graham, and Jonathan van Tulleken. It stars an ensemble cast that includes Kristen Bell, Halle Berry, Gerard Butler, Anna Faris, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Knoxville, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloë Grace Moretz, Seann William Scott, Emma Stone, and Kate Winslet among others. The film took almost a decade to get into production as most studios outright rejected the script, which was eventually picked up by Relativity Media for $6 million. The film was shot over a period of several years, as casting also proved to be a challenge for the producers. Some actors, including George Clooney, immediately declined to take part, while others, such as Richard Gere, attempted to get out of the project. Released on January 25, 2013, Movie 43 has been widely panned by critics, with Richard Roeper calling it "the Citizen Kane of awful", joining others who labelled it as one of the worst films of all time. Wessler first came up with the idea for an outrageous comedy made up of several short films in the early 2000s. "It's like Funny or Die, only if you could go crazy," judged Farrelly, "because with Funny or Die, there are certain limits. And we just wanted to do that kind of short and go much further than that." Charlie Wessler affirmed that he "wanted to make a Kentucky Fried Movie for the modern age". Wessler then recruited three pairs of directors—Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, and David and Jerry Zucker—to sign on to write and direct one-third of the project each. He then began working out a deal with a studio for the project, but the project did not stick. "They ended up calling me about a month after we started negotiating the deal and said 'we can't do it' because they had political pressure to not make R-rated movies that were marketed to teenagers," claimed Wessler. He then went to multiple other studios, but, according to Wessler, "no one could understand what [he] was trying to do". In 2009, Peter Farrelly and producer John Penotti took their pitch—along with about 60 scripts for the vignettes—to Relativity Media. At that meeting, Wessler, Penotti, and Farrelly presented one short that they already had shot, starring Kate Winslet as a woman going on a blind date with a seemingly successful and handsome Hugh Jackman. "They just looked at me and said, 'Go for it,'" Wessler told The Hollywood Reporter. "It takes a lot of balls to make something that is not conventional." Relativity funded a mere $6 million for the film, but no other studio would sign on. "Other potential backers", Farrelly revealed, "didn't believe it could happen—a movie with Kate Winslet for $6 million?" The film officially began shooting in March 2010, but due to its large cast, producer/director Farrelly told Entertainment Weekly that "This movie was made over four years, and they just had to wait for a year or two years for different actors. They would shoot for a week, and shut down for several months. Same thing with the directors. It was the type of movie you could come back to." Shortly before principal photography, writers Parker, Stone, and David and Jerry Zucker backed out of the project. The film ended up with 13 directors and 19 writers tied to it, each one co-writing and directing different segments of the sixteen different storylines. Farrelly directed the parts of the movie with Halle Berry and Kate Winslet. Hugh Jackman was the first actor Wessler cast. He met the star at a wedding and then called him some time later and pitched him the short. Jackman read the script and agreed to be a part of the film. "He called me back I think 24 hours later and said, 'Yeah I wanna do this,' which I think is, quite frankly, incredibly ballsy. Because you could be made a fool of, or you could look silly, and there will be people who say, 'That's crazy; he should never have done it.'" The title of the film, Movie 43—first believed to be referencing the number of actors in the film—actually has no meaning. Farrelly heard his son talking with friends about a film called "Movie 43", but when Farrelly discovered the film did not actually exist, he cribbed the name. George Clooney turned down a cameo as himself in a segment where he would be shown to be bad at picking up women. Anton Yelchin originally played a necrophiliac, in a segment called The Apprentice directed by 'Steve Baker' and Damon Escott. The segment was removed due to the highly offensive subject matter. Colin Farrell was originally cast as The Leprechaun. Not screened in advance for critics. Trey Parker and Matt Stone were initially set to direct a segment, but they dropped out. Development began at Overture Films. When Overture put the movie into turnaround, Relativity Media picked it up. A few months later, Relativity bought Overture. Filming locations: New York City, New York; Los Angeles, California; The Lot - 1041 N. Formosa Avenue, West Hollywood, California, USA.

Storyline: By 2045, humans have built weather machines to control the warming climate due to climate change and global warming. The machines break down when one day it begins to snow and doesn't stop. Whatever humans remain live in underground bunkers to escape the extreme cold. Their challenges are controlling disease and producing sufficient food.
Trivia: It is a Canadian science fiction horror film directed by Jeff Renfroe. It had a limited release on 26 April 2013 in Canada, and was released on 20 September 2013 in the United States. The film was shot at CFB North Bay using former NORAD facilities[3] and at the R. L. Hearn Generating Station in Toronto. Critics considered the film to consist of old science fiction ideas. Peter Howell of the Toronto Star noted it could "show investors how well Canadians can mimic Hollywood blockbusters, decent CGI and all, using a fraction of the budget.".[1] Jay Stone of Postmedia deemed the film had "too many clichés ... and half-developed characters to make us care enough."[4] The Globe and Mail's Liam Lacey also panned the recycled nature of the plot, although noting the scenes appeared to be "authentically chilly throughout". Filming locations: Lapland, Finland;
North Bay, Ontario, Canada

Quotes: 1. Sam: "The world froze over a long time ago. So long ago that I can't remember the warmth of the sun. I heard stories growing up... How the planet grew hotter as our fuel was burned. How we made towers to work the weather. But the truth is... one day... it started to snow. And it never stopped." 2. Sam: "Is there anyone else? Is anyone else alive?" Leland: "Define alive."

Trivia: 1. It is an American romantic comedy film directed by Justin Zackham. It is an American remake of the original 2006 French film Mon frère se marie (fr) (My brother is getting married) written by Jean-Stéphane Bron and Karine Sudan. The film stars a large ensemble cast including Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace, Ben Barnes, Susan Sarandon, and Robin Williams. It was released on April 26, 2013 by Lionsgate in the United States and Canada. The film was previously titled The Wedding. It is an American remake of the original 2006 French film Mon frère se marie (My brother is getting married) written by Jean-Stéphane Bron and Karine Sudan. The film received largely negative critic reviews and barely recouped its original budget. 2. Filming locations: Stamford, Connecticut (acknowledged in film credits); Connecticut, USA; Darien, Connecticut, USA; Greenwich, Connecticut, USA. 3. Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton have worked on the same film only twice before. Once was The Godfather: Part II (1974), in which they were in two separate stories and so never shared a scene. De Niro was the young Vito Corleone and Keaton was the wife of Michael, his son. The second was Marvin's Room (1996). 4. This is the first film to introduce Lionsgate's newly redesigned opening logo. 5. Justin Zackham asked Carlos Bakery (of Cake Boss fame) to provide 3 exact replicas of the wedding cake for use during filming. One was made of Styrofoam, but the other two were real. 6. Amanda Seyfried also played a bride in the musical Mamma Mia! (2008).

Trivia: It is an American romance film starring Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel and Cobie Smulders. It was released theatrically in North America on February 14, 2013. The film was directed by Lasse Hallström, and is an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's novel of the same name. The film was originally set for a February 8 release, but was moved to February 14, 2013.[5] The film was widely panned by critics, but was nonetheless financially successful with a worldwide gross of $96.3 million against its $28 million budget. The film began principal photography on June 18, 2012 in Wilmington and Southport, North Carolina.[6] Parts of it were filmed in Louisiana and the opening scene with Katie on the Coach America bus is on the Linn Cove Viaduct along the Blue Ridge Parkway near Grandfather Mountain in Linville, NC. Safe Haven was universally panned from critics, as it currently holds a 12% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 137 critic reviews. Conversely, Safe Haven earned a 4.2 out of 5 Star average as rated by over 1.3 million Netflix viewers, as well as a 3.8 of 5 rating among 71,000 viewers on rottentomatoes.com, revealing that the public is far more approving of this film than critics were. The lead role was offered to Keira Knightley. She was almost cast when she ultimately declined so she could star in Can a Song Save Your Life? (2013).
Quotes: 1. Jo: "Promise me something Katie, you'll take a lot of pictures and only regret the ones that you didn't take." 2. Katie: "So your really leaving then huh?" Jo: "Yeah, I think we both now that it's time for me to go."

David Tyler as French Crossbowman and Oakley Lehman as stunt double: Paul Walker. Space Network, January 14, 2014. Soundtrack: "Just A Little Bad" - Written and Performed by Vikkie Rae Jordan, Courtesy of Marc Ferrari/MasterSource.

Trivia: It is a science fiction adventure film directed by Richard Donner, based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. A team of present-day archaeologists are sent back in time to rescue their professor from medieval France in the middle of a battle. It stars Paul Walker, Frances O'Connor, Gerard Butler, Billy Connolly, David Thewlis and Anna Friel among others. Jerry Goldsmith composed the original score, which would have been his last before his death in 2004, but it was replaced with a new score by Brian Tyler, after the first cut was re-edited and Goldsmith's increasing health problems did not allow him to continue. The film was poorly received by critics and fans of the book and was a box office failure. The battle sequences used medieval reenactors. Richard Donner limited the use of CGI in the film as much as possible.
The movie's crew visited various European castles from the late 14th century to make the castles and towns look realistic.
Composer Jerry Goldsmith had his score replaced by Brian Tyler's score, because of the changes in the final cut of the film. However, both Goldsmith and Tyler's scores were released on CD.
The character Robert Doniger was named after Harriet Jacobs Doniger, a teacher of Crichton's daughter.
The filming took place in the Laurentian Mountains and Eastern Townships regions of Quebec near Montreal, Also, in the city of Mascouche (approx. 30 km (19 mi) north of Montreal). Castelgard and other settings from the book where recreated there. Filming locations: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA;
Harrington, Québec, Canada
Los Angeles, California, USA
Mascouche, Québec, Canada
Montréal, Québec, Canada
Prague, Czech Republic
Terrebonne, Québec, Canada
Timeline was panned by most critics and did poorly at the box office, only recouping $44 million worldwide from a budget of $80 million. The film also received a 12% fresh rating on film website Rotten Tomatoes based on 139 reviews, stating that this "incoherently plotted addition to the time-travel genre looks and sounds cheesy".
The battle of Castlegard is not an actual historical event. However, the crew of the movie visited various European castles from around that period (the late 1300s) to make the castles and towns look as realistic as possible
A group of medieval re-enactors were used for soldiers in battle sequences.
The Hundred Year War was a conflict solely between the French and the British while the Germans were not involved. The British carried shields with the German Crest Eagle in the movie.
Pierce Brosnan turned down the role of Andre Marek, before Gerard Butler eventually signed on.
The film was originally slated to be released in the fall of 2002, however the studio was not happy with the Richard Donner's cut of the film, which included a prologue explaining the disappearance of the Billy Connolly character in the film and contained Jerry Goldsmith's original score for the film. Donner was then forced to re-cut the film by Paramount and asked Goldsmith to edit down his score to the re-cut version of the film, which also prompted another release date by the studio to March 2003. Paramount, particularly studio head Sherry Lansing, was again unhappy with Donner's second cut of the film that he had delivered which completely had eliminated the Billy Connolly prologue, which was essential to the both the Michael Crichton novel and the film's backstory, which was originally scored by Goldsmith as a cue called "The Dig" and the musical recording slate number of 1M1. Donner was forced to re-cut the film once more and the film was again delayed to unspecified date and again Goldsmith was asked to return to the project. At this point, Goldsmith's health was deteriorating due to cancer and had recently begin to score Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) for his friend Joe Dante, a project which required the assistance of composer John Debney for additional music and would also be his last score as he would pass away on July 28, 2004. Donner really wanted Goldsmith to stay on, but could not for those reasons and liked the score that he had written for the first cut of the film. Paramount then hired composer Brian Tyler, who had written the music for the film, The Hunted (2003), which was released that March in place of Timeline. Tyler would score almost all the identical scenes in which Goldsmith originally scored and each score recorded by both Goldsmith and Tyler are the same length at 74 minutes. The final cut of the film would be 116 minutes from its original 136 min cut, mainly the Billy Connolly prologue clearly absent from re-cut version and the final cut, which proves that the film was clearly interfered with by the studio. Goldsmith's and Tyler's music would be released respectively by Varese Sarabande Records.
Frank A. Cappello wrote an uncredited draft of the script and his name appeared on a few of the original teaser posters and trailers along side credited writers George Nolfi and Jeff Maguire.
Twice in the movie (first when Lady Claire is reunited with the French knights, and later in the final battle), a French knight's shield has the Québec flag painted on it. These scenes where shot in Québec, along with every 14th century France scenes.
Director Richard Donner had previously been one of four directors bidding to direct the film adaptation of Jurassic Park (1993), before Michael Crichton chose Steven Spielberg.
David Thewlis met partner Anna Friel during production of this film, and they have been partners ever since. They are the second couple to have met on the set of a Michael Crichton adaptation, the first being Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum.
When explaining to the group how they would travel to 1357, it is explained that the fax machine was developed 30 years ago. In fact, it was first patented in 1843 by Alexander Bain, and commercially introduced and patented 119 years later in 1964 by Xerox Corporation.
Quotes: 1. Marek: "So how does it feel being passed over for 600-year-old ruins?" "Chris Johnston: It sucks. It sucks big time." 2. Chris Johnston: "The way I see it, we've got what, we've got 650 years of knowledge on these guys. If we put our heads together, there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to get out of here and home in 20 minutes."
Anachronisms: 1. The team take a Frenchman to 1357 as an interpreter. But 14th-century French would have been incomprehensible to a 20th century speaker and vice versa. Also, the Englishmen of such a time and place would have spoken Middle English, not Modern English. 2. The film completely misrepresents the languages being spoken at the time. In 1357, when the film takes place, neither modern French nor modern English would have been spoken. The English would have been speaking Middle English (a language closer in pronunciation and vocabulary to Old English) and the French would have been speaking Occitan - a combination of Middle French and Latin. Certain members of both sides would have spoken Latin, especially the clergy. Michael Crichton details these languages in his book but the film ignores them. 3. When Claire and Marek are floating down the river, the raft she is in is held together by industrial staples. 4. While the English contingent is moving in the castle La Roque, we see stakes planted outside the castle, this was not a battle tactic in 1357, in fact the first stakes that were used by English were actually few years before the battle of Agincourt in 1415.

Trivia: It is an American crime comedy film directed by Seth Gordon, written by Craig Mazin, and starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy.[3] The film tells a story about a man whose identity is stolen by a woman. The film was first conceived as a project with two male leads, but that changed when Bateman saw McCarthy in Bridesmaids and pushed for her to star alongside him.[4] Jerry Eeten wrote an early draft and later finished by Craig Mazin, with a final rewrite by Seth Gordon. In January 2012, Gordon had been announced as the director of the film and Scott Stuber was announced to produce the film through his Stuber Pictures banner alongside Bateman and Peter Morgan for DumbDumb.[5] In April 2012, John Cho, Clark Duke and Amanda Peet joined the cast.[6] In May 2012, Jon Favreau[7] and Morris Chestnut[8] also joined the cast. Some filming took place in Atlanta at the 191 Peachtree Tower, around May 2012. Scenes were also filmed on Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta, at The Colonnade restaurant on Cheshire Bridge Road in Morningside, and at Perimeter Mall.[9] Scenes from the film were also shot at Salon 2000 in Ansley Mall. Despite the mostly negative critical reviews, Identity Thief opened at #1 at the box office with $34.5 million in its first weekend, which was considered even more remarkable by analysts since a major winter storm, often a concern with winter dump months releases, forced theater closings and kept moviegoers at home in the densely populated Northeast. Filming locations: Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA (Market Street Bridge); The Colonnade Restaurant, 1879 Cheshire Bridge Rd, Atlanta, Georgia, USA (Colonnade Restaurant); Conyers, Georgia, USA (Olde Town Conyers, Costley Mill Road); Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Cheshire Motor Inn, 1865 Cheshire Bridge Rd, Atlanta, Georgia, USA (Foxxhole Bar); Hampton, Georgia, USA (Accident when the two main characters meet face to face, also on the side of the road a few scenes later); Rome, Georgia, USA (street scenes).
After Sandy and Diane purchase the $200 car, the scene showing their arrival to St. Louis as they cross a bridge is actually downtown Chattanooga. The tallest buildings and St. Louis Arch were digitally added.
Every car they took, except for the original rental car, has a crushed can of Red Bull on the dash.
When Sandy first arrives to Miami, Florida to catch Diana at the salon. The scene starts with an aerial zoom in of a coastline, then a short cut to Sandy waiting in the car outside of the salon. The scene tries to depict Winter Park as just a short drive from Miami when in truth Winter Park is a suburban city of Orlando, FL, about a 5 hour drive outside South Beach.
When Sandy stops for gas in Denver, and finds his credit cards declined, the gas station pumps have three choices of octane: 87, 89, and 92. Since Denver is at an altitude of 5280 feet (Mile High), the octane choices of all local gas stations are 85, 87, and 91 octane.
As Sandy arrives in Winter Park, Florida, a flying shot of a beach in front of the town with an unknown skyline is shown. Winter Park is a small bedroom community just north of Orlando and it's completely landlocked with the exception of a few local lakes. The closest beach to Winter Park are approximately fifty minutes away.
Quote: Sandy Patterson: "You're diabolical." Diana: "Thank you." Sandy Patterson: "That's not a compliment." Diana: "I know."

Senior Producer. Movie Central, January 15, 2014. Soundtrack: Music by Jonathan Goldsmith.

Storyline: An obsessive chef, Amy (Heather Graham), meets an anorexic former child star Saffron (Carrie-Anne Moss) living in the apartment next door, provoking a fiery battle of wills. The film explores themes of eating disorders, sex, and psychological domination.
Trivia: It is a Canadian independent psychological thriller directed by Egidio Coccimiglio and starring Heather Graham, Carrie-Anne Moss, Kevin Dillon, and Joe Mantegna.[3] The movie is based on the South Korean film 301, 302 directed by Park Chul-soo. It focuses on two women occupying neighboring apartments, each one grappling with psychological disorders that have begun to overtake their lives. Budget: $4 million. Filming locations: Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada; Toronto, Ontario, Canada (exteriors only). The movie opened for limited release on June 21, 2013.[5] The tagline for the movie is: She has a killer appetite. Originally set to shoot in 2009 with Marisa Tomei and Liv Tyler headlining, under the title of "10A/10B". Tomei was going to portray the role of Carrie-Anne Moss and Tyler was going to portray the role of Heather Graham.
This is the second collaboration of Carrie-Anne Moss and Heather Graham after 1995 movie Terrified (1995).
Early in the movie when Detective Reynolds goes in Saffron's condo with a flashlight, real-life pictures of Carrie-Anne Moss can be seen in frames. In one of the pictures the actress is seen with her mother Barbara Moss and in another one, dancing with her Models Inc. (1994) co-star Brian Gaskill. The latter was taken at a party thrown on behalf of the show in 1994.
Carrie-Anne Moss read the script a few years before the production began.
This is the first official remake that Carrie-Anne Moss stars in.
Heather Graham gained over 10 pounds and wore foam padding underneath her dresses and clothing throughout the film to give her a slightly overweight appearance due to her character's obsession with cooking and eating. As a result, she is never seen fully undressed, especially during her lovemaking scenes.
Compulsion is the winner of the best picture award (Sanese D'Oro) and the Critics Special Mention at the 2013 Terra di Siena International Film Festival, Italy. Remake of
301/302 (1995) Canadian remake of Korean movie.

Trivia: It is an American science fiction psychological thriller film directed by John R. Leonetti, starring Eric Lively, Erica Durance, Dustin Milligan and Gina Holden. The film is largely unrelated to the 2004 film The Butterfly Effect and was released direct-to-DVD October 10, 2006. It is followed by The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations. The Butterfly Effect 2 was met with negative reviews. Reviewers claim that the sequel adds nothing to the message of the first movie, covering exactly the same ground with different characters. With a limited temporal scope, the story of this movie isn't as intertwined as the first. Also, the less-impressive special effects and very short filming time combine to give the movie a much less impressive feel than the original. Additionally, it was argued that the protagonist of The Butterfly Effect, Evan Treborn, was a likable character in his own right who tried to make things correct for his friends and family. The main character in this movie often does things such as going back in time to get himself promoted instead of one of his colleagues. This in effect made him into a highly unlikeable 'salesman'. The ending scene with his child in particular was also highly criticized as only being used to be able to continue the successful concept started with the first movie. Filming Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Storyline: A young man with the power to time travel attempts to solve the mystery of his girlfriend's death.
Trivia: It is an American science fiction psychological thriller film directed by Seth Grossman that is the third film in the Butterfly Effect franchise. The film is set in Detroit, Michigan with most of the filming done there. The movie was filmed in Michigan and concluded filming in October 2008. It debuted as part of the lineup for After Dark Horrorfest III, a horror film festival held in January 2009. The film was released on DVD on March 31, 2009. Filming locations: Detroit, Michigan, USA; Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. All of the bar scenes (including a murder scene) were filmed in Foran's Grand Trunk Pub, one of the oldest pubs still in operation in the city of Detroit. One unique fact about Foran's is that the famed magician, Harry Houdini, kept an office in the basement of the pub. The film takes place in Detroit, Michigan. Lonnie is on death row for being the "Pontiac Killer", however the State of Michigan abolished capital punishment for state crimes in 1846. Lonnie also couldn't be executed in the state even by the Federal government since a 1963 state constitution amendment also abolished federal capital punishment in the state. The last person to be executed in Michigan was in 1938 by the U.S. Government. Sam goes to Detroit Police headquarters to investigate the Pontiac Killer. Pontiac, Michigan is 30 miles north of Detroit, and all crimes there are investigated by the Oakland County Sheriff's Department. Quote: Harry Goldburg: "Not saving someone's life isn't the same as killing them, Sam." Sam Reide: "No. But it's close."

Trivia: It is an American thriller road movie. The film was written by J. J. Abrams and Clay Tarver, and directed by John Dahl. It stars Steve Zahn, Paul Walker, and Leelee Sobieski. The film also goes under numerous other titles in other countries. In Australia, Sweden, Finland, Ireland and some other European countries the film was retitled Roadkill, Never Play with Strangers in Israel and Spain, Radio Killer in Italy, Never talk to strangers in Greece, Road Killer in Japan, and Mortal Frequency in Mexico. The film went under the working titles of Candy Cane, Highway Horror, Deadly Frequency and Squelch. In his screenplay for Joy Ride, J. J. Abrams was influenced by the first film directed by Steven Spielberg, Duel, and there are numerous references to it. For example, in one scene, a seemingly maniacal ICE truck pulls up to a gas station that the brothers have pulled up to. In Duel, a likewise maniacal truck pulls up the protagonist, and a small billboard for ICE is visible in the background.

The central antagonist, "Rusty Nail", remains almost entirely unseen throughout the film and was portrayed by hulking actor Matthew Kimbrough in the brief shot of the villain towards the end of the film. Rusty Nail's voice heard on the radio throughout most of the film was provided by veteran actor Ted Levine due to his distinctive voice tone, and was added in post production. Eric Stoltz and Sylvester Stallone also auditioned for the role of Rusty Nail.[2] Rusty Nail's truck is a 359 Peterbilt.
On the DVD release there is a 29-minute long alternate ending, and 4 other shorter alternate endings. The main one featured Rusty Nail committing suicide with a shotgun and numerous bodies are found by the police in his trailer. One featured Rusty Nail being arrested, another being beaten in a fight with both Thomas brothers, another wherein he is blown up in his truck, and another saw Rusty Nail run over with his own truck. The ending featured in the actual theatrical cut of the film is the only ending in which Rusty Nail lives. There are also numerous deleted scenes.

In the alternate ending where Rusty Nail's truck explodes, you can see a water tower behind the truck as it burns. The original intention was to have the truck hit the water tower and have the water come down and put the flames out so that it would be believable if Rusty Nail survived. However, time constraints kept the scene from being filmed. The water tower cost over $100,000.

Leelee Sobieski filmed two different romantic interludes, one with Steve Zahn and one with Paul Walker during the shooting and re-shooting of the film. Both scenes ended up getting cut. This may explain why Venna appears to be romantically interested in both of them.
Joy Ride was well received by critics, and currently has a "Fresh" score of 73% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A direct-to-video sequel entitled Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead was released in October 2008 by 20th Century Fox. The film was directed by Louis Morneau, and stars Nick Zano, Kyle Schmid, Nicki Aycox, Rebecca Davis and Laura Jordan. It does not feature any of the original cast, and was noted by fans of the original for its toning down of the Alfred Hitchcock-type tension and atmosphere. Also, the character of Rusty Nail was not voiced by Ted Levine and it has been noted that the killer had been reduced from being an original, intriguing, mysterious, and intelligent yet unhinged character with complex motivations to a fairly unremarkable and cliché-ridden stock villain who merely acts on impulse.

The speaking voice for 'Rusty Nail' was provided by Ted Levine, most famous for portraying 'Buffalo Bill' in The Silence of the Lambs (1991).
Was renamed 'Road Kill' in the UK, since taking a 'Joy Ride' is not the pleasant journey it is in the states, rather the name for when youths steal cars and race each other or the cops and eventually total and dump the car.
Eric Stoltz and Eric Roberts auditioned for the role of "Rusty Nail".
During the opening credits, when the camera pans around Paul Walker's room, a toy model of the car is visible on the dresser.
Three different versions of the ending were shot.
As Lewis is looking at his map in the car, his finger follows the road from Red Rock past Green River and down SW. Director John Dahl's earlier motel based thriller was Red Rock West (1993).
During the course of the movie, watch the LED signal strength indicator lights on the brothers' CB radio. The first four indicator lights change colors in nearly every scene, including bright green, dark green, yellow, red, and crimson. This is obviously intentional and not a series of continuity errors.
To avoid the unpleasant effects of having to remove Scotch tape from Leelee Sobieski's hair and skin after the take, she was tied up with a strong, thick plastic film (like thick Saran Wrap) which looked like tape and stuck almost like tape, but which was glueless, making its removal simple and fuss-free.
The car they are driving is a 1971 Chrysler Newport.
Although Ted Levine provides Rusty Nail's voice, he actually wasn't brought in until post-production, and, physically, Rusty Nail is played by the hulking actor Matthew Kimbrough.
Leelee Sobieski ended up filming two different romantic interludes, one with Steve Zahn and one with Paul Walker during the shooting and re-shooting of the film. Both scenes ended up getting cut.
In the ending where Rusty Nail's truck explodes, you can see a water tower behind the truck as it burns. The original intention was to have the truck hit the water tower and have the water come down and put the flames out so that it would be believable if Rusty Nail survived. However, time constraints kept the scene from being filmed. The water tower cost over $100,000.
The ending that was chosen for the final cut is the only ending in which Rusty Nail lives.
For the nighttime chase scenes, the headlights of the trucks and cars were replaced by aircraft landing lights for extra brightness. This helped to bring down the exposure enough to keep the sky consistently black even at early dawn.
In one scene, a seemingly maniacal ICE truck pulls up to a gas station that the brothers have pulled up to. In Duel (1971), a likewise maniacal truck pulls up to our hero (David Mann) and a small billboard for ICE is visible in the background.
The Hazen Market is located roughly 40 miles east of Reno on highway 50 in Hazen, Nevada. It closed in 2008 after roughly 70 years of operation because changes to Highway 50 made it difficult for travelers to stop there.
Quotes: 1. Ice Truck Driver: "Do you guys need help back to the main road?" Fuller: "No, we're okay, now that we're not murdered or anything." 2. Venna: "I'm not going anywhere until somebody tells me why I should be afraid of a radio." 3. Lewis: "You put a hole in my car." 4. Lewis: "I've got a plan." Venna: "What's your plan?" Lewis: "Let's never go back there again." Venna: "Oh, I can't wait to never go back there."

Trivia: It is an American fantasy adventure film based on the English fairy tales "Jack the Giant Killer" and "Jack and the Beanstalk". The film is directed by Bryan Singer with a screenplay written by Darren Lemke, Christopher McQuarrie and Dan Studney and stars Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, Bill Nighy and Ewan McGregor. The film tells the story of Jack, a young farmhand who must rescue a princess from a race of giants after inadvertently opening a gateway to their world.

Development of Jack the Giant Slayer began in 2005, when Lemke first pitched the idea. D. J. Caruso was hired to direct the film in January 2009, but in September of that year, Caruso was replaced by Singer, who hired McQuarrie and Studney to rework the script. The main characters were cast between February and March 2011, and principal photography began in April 2011 in England with locations in Somerset, Gloucestershire and Norfolk. Release of the film was moved back in post-production to allow more time for special effects and marketing.

Jack the Giant Slayer premiered on February 26, 2013 in Hollywood and was released theatrically in the United States on March 1, 2013 in 2D and 3D. The film received mixed reviews from most film critics and was considered a financial disappointment, losing between $125 million and $140 million for Legendary Pictures. Jack the Giant Slayer was released on home media on June 18, 2013.

Principal photography began on April 12, 2011, in the British countryside.[11] In May 2011, production moved to Somerset, England for two weeks with filming scheduled in Wells, Cheddar and secret locations in the county including scenes filmed at Wells Cathedral.[25] Also in May, scenes were shot at Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean near Coleford, Gloucestershire. Puzzlewood, which features unusual tree and rock formations, has previously been used for filming of the BBC TV series Doctor Who and Merlin. The same forest is said to have inspired J. R. R. Tolkien to write The Hobbit.[26] Later that month, filming took place at Norwich Cathedral in Norwich, Norfolk.

Although not used in the theatrical release, Julie Andrews recorded "The Giants Fable" for the opening sequence for the film. This voice over can be found in the deleted scenes on the Blu-Ray special features.

Creating the giants took four main steps. The first step was using performance capture was used to capture the actor's facial/body movements and render them in a real-time virtual environment. The second step took place during principal photography, where Simulcam technology was used to help the human characters virtually interact with the giants that were rendered earlier. The third step was a second performance capture shoot to adjust giants' movements to seamlessly fit the live-action performances. The final step involved putting the finishing touches on the giant's animation, skin, hair and clothing, and composition in the shots.

Twice in the film we see a golden harp. Once in a flashback when a giant is stealing it and again when Jack is in the room with all the treasure. In the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale, a harp that plays by itself is one of the items Jack steals from the giant.

Ewan McGregor's character states that he "has a bad feeling about this." This phrase is a staple of the Star Wars films, which McGregor, as Obi-Wan Kenobi, has said twice. Cast members Warwick Davis and Ralph Brown also appeared with him in his first Star Wars film Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999).

Bryan Singer was interested in using motion-capture VFX for the giants: "It takes you back to play-acting as a kid in your living room because you are running around, having to imagine that you are in Gantua and there are all these giant things when there's nothing there. In that way it's fascinating."

Screenwriter Darren Lemke first proposed the idea of updating the "Jack and the Beanstalk" fairytale in 2005. Lemke described the script as "a male-oriented story of a boy becoming a man" and drew a parallel between Jack and "Star Wars"'s Luke Skywalker.

Storyline: Two young boys encounter a fugitive and form a pact to help him evade the bounty hunters on his trail and to reunite him with his true love.
Trivia: It is an American coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Jeff Nichols. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan, Sam Shepard, and Reese Witherspoon. The film competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. It was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013. The film opened on April 26, 2013 with a limited release in select theaters, before having a wider release on May 10, 2013.
For the local boys of a small Delta town, Nichols cast boys who could already pilot boats and ride dirt bikes, instead of ones who would have to be taught on set.[13] For the teenage role of Neckbone, over 2,000 boys auditioned, and 15-year-old Jacob Lofland from Yell County, Arkansas, was cast.[14]

Nichols started shooting Mud in his home state of Arkansas on September 26, 2011.[15] Filming took eight weeks and concluded on November 19. He filmed in Southeast Arkansas; locations included Dumas, De Witt, Lake Village, Crocketts Bluff, and Stuttgart.[14] The island in the film was located outside the city of Eudora.[16] The cast and crew numbered over 100 people, around half of whom were Arkansas residents. Over 400 locals were also involved as extras. According to the state government's Economic Development Commission, "Mud is the largest production ever to be filmed in the state."[14] Nichols said about filming in parts of Southeast Arkansas, "These places and people have such a particular accent and culture, and they're quickly getting homogenized. I wanted to capture a snapshot of a place that probably won't be there forever."

Writer/director Jeff Nichols was desperate to cast his Shotgun Stories (2007) and Take Shelter (2011) lead Michael Shannon in the film, but Shannon's participation in Man of Steel (2013) almost made it impossible. He was eventually able to clear out a few days to film the role of Galen.

Reese Witherspoon and writer/director Jeff Nichols share the same representation, which allowed Nichols to approach the actress with the role more easily.
Mud says that the same snake antivenom cannot be used twice on the same person. While it is true that repeated use of first-generation antivenoms can cause severe allergic reactions, modern antivenoms can be used repeatedly safely.
Filming lasted eight weeks.

Cleveland Brown, Sr. told Reese Witherspoon that he did not like her in the last four movies.
Quote: Mud: "There are fierce powers at work in the world, boys. Good, evil, poor luck, best luck. As men, we've got to take advantage where we can."

Trivia: It is an American computer-animated fantasy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The story was conceived by writer/director Brenda Chapman, who drew inspiration from her relationship with her own daughter. Chapman became Pixar’s first female director of a feature-length film.[4] Brave was written by Chapman, Mark Andrews, Steve Purcell, and Irene Mecchi, directed by Chapman and Andrews,[4] and co-directed by Purcell. The film's voice cast features Kelly Macdonald, Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, and Robbie Coltrane. To create the most complex visuals possible, Pixar completely rewrote their animation system for the first time in 25 years.[5] It is the first film to use the Dolby Atmos sound format.

Set in the Scottish Highlands, the film tells the story of a princess named Merida who defies an age-old custom, causing chaos in the kingdom by expressing the desire to not be betrothed. After consulting a witch for help, Merida accidentally transforms her mother into a bear and is forced to undo the spell herself before it is too late. Brave premiered on June 10, 2012, at the Seattle International Film Festival, and was released in North America on June 22, 2012, to both positive reviews and box office success. The film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Film,[6][7] the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film,[8] and the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film.[9]

Preceding the feature is a short film entitled La Luna, directed by Enrico Casarosa. Brave is the first Pixar film starring a female protagonist.[4] Merida was originally to be voiced by Reese Witherspoon,[23] who declined due to scheduling issues. Instead, the character was voiced by Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald.[4]

The end credits include a special tribute to Pixar co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs, who died in 2011.
None of the footage shown in the preview trailer is in the finished film.

The name Lord MacIntosh (or McIntosh) is a common Scottish surname, also the name of a well-known variety of apple. It is a reference to the Apple computer. Steve Jobs was a co-founder of Apple and played a big role in Pixar. The movie is dedicated to Jobs with this quote at the end credits: "Dedicated to the memory of Steve Jobs, our partner, mentor and friend". It is also a reference to the repeated image of Merida being interrupted while trying to eat an apple by biting into it, which her mother considers unladylike.

Dingwall is a town in Scotland which once contained the largest castle north of Stirling and was believed to be the site of a legendary battle between the Clan Mackay and the Clan Donald in 1411. The English name Dingwall means "meeting place of the local assembly." The town's Gaelic name Inbhir Pheofharain means "the mouth of the Peffery" but it is also known as Baile Chail ("cabbage town"), appropriate for Lord Dingwall's son.

Trivia: It is a British crime comedy written, co-produced, and directed by Martin McDonagh. It stars Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, and Christopher Walken, with Tom Waits, Abbie Cornish, Olga Kurylenko, and Željko Ivanek in supporting roles. The film marks the second collaboration between McDonagh, Farrell, and Ivanek, following 2008's In Bruges.

Seven Psychopaths had its world premiere on 7 September 2012 at the Toronto International Film Festival.[4] It was released in the United States and Canada on 12 October 2012, and it was released in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2012. In a post-credits scene, Zachariah, who has just watched Seven Psychopaths, calls Marty, telling Marty that he will be over to kill him on Tuesday for forgetting to leave a message in the credits as promised. On hearing Marty's resigned acceptance, Zachariah realizes that Marty's experiences have left him a changed man, and decides to spare him.

(at around 7 mins) During the cancer ward visit, the announcement in the background calling for "Dr. Blair, Dr Jane Hamilton, Dr. Jane Hamilton" is a reference to the album "Operation: Mindcrime" by Queensrÿche. The voice is taken directly from the track "Eyes of a Stranger". The album's subject matter of a hitman is in keeping with the film.

Cameo - Crispin Glover: In the court room scene seated in front of Harry Dean Stanton.
The original script revolved heavily on the shih-tzu getting shot in the final stand-off of the film. The film boards insisted that they shouldn't show animal cruelty and the script was changed around it. Billy also refers to this in the grave yard scene when he says "His rabbit gets away, because you can't let the animals die in a movie. Just the women"

Towards the end of the film, Christopher Walken's character, Hans, revealed to be the vengeful Quaker whose story Billy tells to Marty, wanders through the desert in a very similar manner to Harry Dean Stanton's character at the beginning of Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas (1984). When Billy first tells Marty the story, the role of the Quaker is played by Harry Dean Stanton.
Quotes: 1. Marty: "Billy's a psychopath, Hans." Hans: "I guess he's made it into your movie now." 2. Marty: "I don't have a drinking problem. I just like drinking."

Trivia: It is the twenty-third James Bond film produced by Eon Productions. It was distributed by MGM and Sony Pictures Entertainment.[2] It features Daniel Craig in his third performance as James Bond, and Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva, the film's antagonist. The film was directed by Sam Mendes and written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan.

The film centres on Bond investigating an attack on MI6; the attack is part of a plot by former MI6 operative Raoul Silva to humiliate, discredit and kill M as revenge against her for betraying him. The film sees the return of two recurring characters to the series after an absence of two films: Q, played by Ben Whishaw, and Eve Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris. Skyfall is the last film of the series for Judi Dench, who played M, a role that she had played in the previous six films. The position is subsequently filled by Ralph Fiennes' character, Gareth Mallory.

Mendes was approached to direct the film after the release of Quantum of Solace in 2008. Development was suspended when MGM encountered financial troubles and did not resume until December 2010; during this time, Mendes remained attached to the project as a consultant. The original screenwriter, Peter Morgan, left the project during the suspension. When production resumed, Logan, Purvis, and Wade continued writing what became the final version of the script. Filming began in November 2011 and primarily took place in the United Kingdom, with smaller portions shot in China and Turkey.

Skyfall premiered in London at the Royal Albert Hall on 23 October 2012 and was released in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2012 and the United States on 9 November 2012. It was the first James Bond film to be screened in IMAX venues, although it was not filmed with IMAX cameras. The film's release coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Bond series, which began with Dr. No in 1962. Skyfall was positively received by critics and at the box office, becoming the 14th film, as well as the first Bond film, to cross the $1 billion mark worldwide. As of May 2013, it is the eighth-highest-grossing film of all time, the highest-grossing film in the UK, the highest-grossing film in the Bond series, the highest-grossing film worldwide for both Sony Pictures and MGM, and the second-highest-grossing film of 2012. The film won several accolades, including the BAFTA Awards for Outstanding British Film and Best Film Music; the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture; and was nominated for five Academy Awards, of which it won two: Per Hallberg and Karen Baker Landers won the award for Best Sound Editing, and Adele's theme song won Best Original Song. The song also won Best Original Song at the Golden Globe Awards.

At the 2013 Academy Awards ceremony, Skyfall (2012) became the first James Bond film to achieve a number of records in the franchise's history:

The most number of Academy Award nominations ever received by a Bond film totaling five (Best Song, Score, Sound Mixing, Sound Effects Editing and Cinematography).
The first Bond film to get Oscar nominated in three decades. The last time was in 1982, when For Your Eyes Only (1981) was nominated for Best Song. 1982 also saw producer Albert R. Broccoli receive the Honorary Thalberg Award.
First Bond film to win two Oscars (Goldfinger (1964) and Thunderball (1965) won just the one each)
The third Bond film to win an Academy Award and the first in forty-seven years, the last being Thunderball (1965).
Skyfall's tied Oscar for Sound Editing was not actually the first in that category, as Goldfinger (1964) had won for Best Effects, Sound Effects whilst Diamonds Are Forever (1971) had been nominated for Best Sound.
After a number of Bond Songs having being nominated for the Best Song Oscar (Live and Let Die (1973), For Your Eyes Only (1981), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and the unofficial Casino Royale (1967)), Adele's "Skyfall" became the first James Bond theme to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
After receiving a personal invitation from Queen Elizabeth II , Daniel Craig appeared as James Bond in promotion of this film at the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London in the games' introductory video originally entitled "The Arrival" but later known as "Happy and Glorious". The Daniel Craig and Queen Elizabeth II pretend entertainment segment features Craig as James Bond who meets with the Queen to escort her safely to the stadium. They are seen going to a helicopter which flies along the Thames River to the cauldron whereby stunt-doubles then 'skyfall' jumped out of the copters down to the awaiting ceremony to familiar James Bond music. The segment has been said to be the Queen's first ever acting role.
The film's opening sequence shot in Adana and Istanbul in Turkey took around two months to film, three months of rehearsals, four months of preparation, 200 crew members from England and another 200 local crew in order to produce around 12-14 minutes of screen time.
The quotation that M recites is from Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "Ulysses", e.g. "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield". First published in 1842, its recitation in the film's 2012 release occurs on the poem's 170th Anniversary.
Daniel Craig performed the stunt of leaping and sliding down the escalator rail himself.
The mug Q drinks from in his lab has the letter "Q" from the game Scrabble printed on it, complete with the number "10", the point value of the letter Q in the board game.
Stunt-man and Bond stunt-double Andy Lister performed the opening sequence's fall from the bridge into the river. Riggers were set up a crane on a train carriage to hold a safety line. Andy then reacted to the gun shot by limply diving backwards off the 300 foot (92 m) drop. This jump stunt is a typical Bondian 'Skyfall' jump stunt synonymous with the series.
Cameos:
Michael G. Wilson: Producer Wilson has been doing regular cameos in the official James Bond series since The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), with his first being in Goldfinger (1964). Wilson's cameo in this film mostly got cut out of the picture but there is one shot of him still in the movie thereby keeping intact the series tradition of the Wilson cameo. The sequence that got cut was a funeral procession of hearses, Wilson's cameo was as a pall bearer.

The Host was the penultimate film to be reviewed by film critic Roger Ebert before his death on April 4, 2013, and the last major film to be published in his lifetime. He rated the film 2.5/4 stars, saying "The Host is top-heavy with profound, sonorous conversations, all tending to sound like farewells. The movie is so consistently pitched at the same note, indeed, that the structure robs it of possibilities for dramatic tension."

Trivia: It is a Canadian drama film written and directed by author and filmmaker Shandi Mitchell. A story of survival and self-discovery for six men lost at sea in the North Atlantic, it stars Billy Campbell, Shawn Doyle, Brian Downey, Gary Levert, Ryan Doucette, and Neil Matheson. The film premiered at the Atlantic Film Festival September 14, 2012.
Production

Writer and director Shandi Mitchell got the idea for the script after speaking with a 92-year-old former sea captain who had once been lost at sea after his ship went down.[1] Her resulting original script explores both physical and mental struggles of being lost at sea.[2]

The film received support from Telefilm Canada, Film Nova Scotia, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage.[3] The film was acquired by The Movie Network and Movie Central.

Filming of the movie took place on the Atlantic Ocean off Lunenburg, Nova Scotia over a span of 15 days, beginning its shoot on September 12, 2011.[4] As a film set at sea, the crew faced the challenge of how to film on water. To overcome this obstacle, a special 5 metre by 7 metre floating barge was built to house the film equipment and crew.[5] Actors were ferried back on forth on zodiacs to hair and makeup artists as needed.[6]

Actor Billy Campbell told media he found the shoot wasn't too taxing despite being in a row-boat for 15 days.[7]
Release

Acquired by Astral's The Movie Network and Corus Entertainment’s Movie Central, The Disappeared received financial support from Telefilm Canada, Film Nova Scotia and the Canadian and Nova Scotia tax credit programs, and was developed with added support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage.

The film premiered at the Atlantic Film Festival to sold out audiences as the Atlantic Gala on September 14, 2012 at the Oxford Theatre in Halifax.[8] The entire cast was reunited for the premiere.

Lexie Huber as Jim's Wife, Mihaela Cristina Istrate as Student, Nicole Smashnuk as Woman who lost shoe in evacuation; Jordan Weller. Movie Central, January 26, 2014. Soundtrack: "Islands" - Performed by Huddle, Written by Mark Satterthwaite (SOCAN) Clay Jones (SOCAN), Published by Third Side Music Inc., Courtesy of Huddle 2011; "Traitors Gate" - Performed by Billy Nomates, Written by Tristan Lambeth and Bob Farrell. Trivia: 1. It is a political action thriller produced and directed by, and starring, Robert Redford. The script was written by Lem Dobbs based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Neil Gordon. The film was produced by Nicolas Chartier (Voltage Pictures), Redford and Bill Holderman. 2. The story centers on recent widower and single father, Jim Grant, a former Weather Underground anti-Vietnam War militant wanted for a bank robbery and murder. Grant has hidden from the FBI for over 30 years, as an attorney in Albany, New York. He becomes a fugitive when his true identity is exposed by Ben Shepard, an aggressive young reporter. Grant must find his ex-lover, Mimi, the one person who can clear his name, before the FBI catches him. Otherwise, he will lose everything, including his 11-year-old daughter Isabel. While Ben struggles with ethical issues as a journalist, Jim and his old friends from the Weather Underground must live with the consequences of their radical past. 3. After film festival screenings in September 2012, the film's first theatrical release was in Italy in December 2012. A U.S. limited release began in April 2013, followed by wider North American release later in the month and releases in various foreign markets through December 2013. The film received a mixed reception from the critics in the U.S. but a generally favorable one abroad. It grossed $5.1 million in the U.S. and Canada, with foreign sales reaching $14.5 million as of January 2014. 4. Filming Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. 5. As of 2013, the cast includes four actors (Robert Redford, Susan Sarandon, Chris Cooper and Julie Christie) who have won Academy Awards and five others (Anna Kendrick, Richard Jenkins, Nick Nolte, Terrence Howard and Stanley Tucci) who have been nominated for Academy Awards. 6. In the closing scene a trolley bus passes by as Sloan and his daughter are walking. The scene was supposed to be in Detroit or possibly New York. Neither has trolley buses, but Vancouver, where it was filmed, does. While walking on campus at the "University of Michigan" signs can clearly be seen showing "UBC" or the University of British Columbia, where the scenes were filmed. Quotes: 1. Sharon Solarz: "You don't have kids, do you?" Ben Shepard: "No. I... I barely have furniture." Sharon Solarz: "Well, if you do, you'll realize that they change you." 2. Ben Shepard: "These people, they're all nuts, but none of them are illogical." Anachronism: An Esso gasoline sign is clearly shown in the movie, which supposedly takes place in the United States. However the Esso brand was replaced in the U.S. by Exxon in 1972. The Esso brand remains in use outside of the U.S.

Trivia: It is a children's film starring Kevin Durant, a small forward for the Oklahoma City Thunder, an NBA franchise, along with Taylor Gray, Brandon T. Jackson, Doc Shaw and Jim Belushi, and directed by John Whitesell. It was released on August 24, 2012. While shooting the film, Durant said that the hardest part was not the acting, but rather the fact that he had to miss jump shots on purpose for the film, to indicate that he no longer had the ability to play basketball as well as he used to. Rotten Tomatoes reports that 20% of 10 critics praised the film with an average score of 4.2/10. The audience gave the film a "fresh" 70% rating. Filming locations: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA (Downtown) and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. Quote: Kevin Durant: "Hard work beats talent, when talent does not work hard".

Trivia: It is an American psychological thriller film directed by Steven Soderbergh from a screenplay written by Scott Z. Burns. The film stars Jude Law, Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Channing Tatum. The film concerns the ramifications of an event following a young woman being prescribed antidepressant drugs, in particular the fictional new drug Ablixa (alipazone). To promote the movie, a realistic (but phony) website for Ablixa was created, and Jude Law answered questions by email. Originally, Blake Lively was cast for the lead role.[6] However, it was later reported Rooney Mara would replace her.[7] This is the third collaboration between Zeta-Jones and Soderbergh, following Traffic (2000) and Ocean's Twelve (2004).[8] It is also the third collaboration between Tatum and Soderbergh, following Haywire and Magic Mike.
Production: Side Effects, previously titled The Bitter Pill, was directed by Steven Soderbergh, produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Gregory Jacobs, and Scott Z. Burns who also worked on the screenplay.[9] In January 2012, the film was reported to be produced by Annapurna Pictures.[10] A few weeks later, Annapurna Pictures pulled out from the project resulting in Endgame Entertainment financing the project.

Principal photography started on April 5, 2012 in New York City. The first pictures from the set surfaced on April 10, 2012. Filming locations: Taconic Correctional Facility, Bedford Hills, New York, USA

Steven Soderbergh considered casting Lindsay Lohan for the role of Emily and he auditioned her three times. However, producers felt that her ongoing legal issues would disrupt the production process. Rooney Mara was eventually cast for the part.

Quotes: 1. Dr. Jonathan Banks: "Depression is an inability to construct a future." 2. Emily Taylor: "Imagine everything you ever wanted shows up one day and calls itself your life. And then just when you start to believe in it - gone. And suddenly it gets very hard to imagine a future. That's depression, right?"

Trivia: It is a British biographical historical comedy drama directed by Roger Michell. The film stars Bill Murray and Laura Linney as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Margaret "Daisy" Suckley, respectively. It was based on Suckley’s private journals and diaries, discovered after her death, about her love affair with and intimate details about President Roosevelt. Production designer Simon Bowles created upstate New York in England where the entire film was shot. Filming Location: London, England, UK.
Criticism of the depiction of history: During World War II, Suckley often stayed for long visits at the White House, keeping the president company. Roosevelt is known to have had an affair with Lucy Mercer during World War I. However, there is no direct evidence that he had a similar relationship with Suckley, though there was an emotional connection. Roosevelt apparently instructed Suckley to burn at least some of the letters he wrote to her,[3] which has fueled speculation about their content.
Focusing on how the historical events and people are portrayed, Conrad Black, author of Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Champion of Freedom, said the film took "large, ... sometimes scurrilous, liberties with historical facts." In particular, he stated the movie erred in its depiction both of Roosevelt's relationship with women and of Eleanor Roosevelt's sexuality. Footage of the real events was filmed by Pathe News.
The car that FDR drove with the special hand controls, a 1936 Ford Phaeton, is on display at the FDR Presidential Library in Hyde Park NY.
The third major release in as many years to feature King George VI "Bertie" as a character: The King's Speech (2010) in 2010 played by Colin Firth, in W.E. (2011) in 2011, played by Laurence Fox, and this movie in 2012 where he is played by Samuel West.
Quotes: 1. FDR: We think they see all our flaws. But, that's not what they are looking to find when they look to us.
2. Bertie: ...But, to answer your question, Elizabeth, I *am* going to eat a hot dog - five hot dogs - TEN!... I'M GOING TO SHOVE THEM IN MY MOUTH, STICK TWO UP MY NOSTRILS, TWO MORE IN MY EARS, AND WALK AROUND SO THAT PEOPLE CAN TAKE PICTURES OF THE KING OF ENGLAND WITH HOT DOGS HANGING OUT OF HIS ORIFICES!
3. Daisy: In a time, not so very long ago, when the world still allowed itself secrets, Franklin Roosevelt was mine." Anachronisms: 1. When FDR first shows Daisy his stamp collection, we see stamps that were issued later than 1939. 2. When FDR turns on the car radio, music begins to play almost immediately. In the pre-transistor era depicted, all radios used tubes and took many seconds to warm up before providing any sound.

Storyline: Everything is connected: an 1849 diary of an ocean voyage across the Pacific; letters from a composer to his lover; a thriller about a murder at a nuclear power plant; a farce about a publisher in a nursing home; a rebellious clone in futuristic Korea; and the tale of a tribe living in post-apocalyptic Hawaii, far in the future.
Trivia: 1. It is a 2012 German drama and science fiction film written, produced and directed by The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer. Adapted from the 2004 novel by David Mitchell, the film features multiple plotlines set across six different eras. The official synopsis for Cloud Atlas describes the film as: "An exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution." 2. During four years of development, the project met difficulties securing financial support; it was eventually produced with a $102 million budget provided by independent sources, making Cloud Atlas one of the most expensive independent films of all time. Production began in September 2011 at Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam-Babelsberg, Germany. 3. The film premiered on September 9, 2012 at the 37th Toronto International Film Festival and was released on 26 October 2012 in conventional and IMAX cinemas. 4. Cloud Atlas polarized critics, and has subsequently been included on various Best Film and Worst Film lists. The film was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score for Tykwer (who co-scored the film), Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil. It also received several nominations of the Saturn Awards including Best Science Fiction Film, winning for Best Editing and Best Make-up. Author David Mitchell makes a cameo appearance as a double agent in the futuristic Korea section. 5. Filming began at Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam-Babelsberg, Germany, on 16 September 2011, which was the base camp for the production during its shoot. Other locations include Düsseldorf, in and near Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland, and the Mediterranean island of Majorca, Spain. Glasgow doubled for both San Francisco and London. Scenes filmed in Scotland also feature the recently built Clackmannanshire Bridge near Alloa. The "Big Island" and "Pacific Islands" stories were actually shot on Majorca, mostly in the World Heritage site of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains. Scenes were shot at Cala Tuent and near Formentor, amongst others. The opening scene of the film, when Adam Ewing meets Dr. Henry Goose, was filmed at Sa Calobra. Port de Sóller provided the setting for the scene when the 19th-century ship is mooring. 6. The film has had polarized reactions from critics, who debated its length and editing of the interwoven stories, but praised other aspects of the film such as its cinematography, score, visual style, ensemble cast, and originality. The film received a lengthy standing ovation at the 37th Toronto International Film Festival, where it premiered on 9 September 2012 . Review aggregator Metacritic collected the "top 10 films of 2012" lists from various critics and Cloud Atlas was placed at number 25 overall. Many critical responses to the film have been positive. The film was pre-nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, but was eventually not nominated in that or any other category. 7. Controversy: Immediately after the film's release, the advocacy group Media Action Network for Asian Americans criticized the film for the use of what is sometimes labelled 'yellowface' makeup to allow non-Asian actors to portray certain Asian characters in the neo-Seoul sequences. The directors pointed out that the same multi-racial actors portrayed multiple roles, of various nationalities and races (not just Asian), across a 500 year story arc, showing "the continuity of souls" critical to the story. 8. Filming locations: Glasgow, Strathclyde, Scotland, UK; Scott Monument, West Princes Street Garden, Princes Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK (exterior scenes); Port de Sóller, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain; Clackmannanshire Bridge, Falkirk/Fife, Scotland, UK (bridge); Overtoun House, Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, UK; Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain; Dreischeibenhaus, Düsseldorf, Germany (external scenes); Krematorium Baumschulenweg, Berlin, Germany; City Chambers, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK; Studio Babelsberg, Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany (studio).
The whole film was shot with two parallel filming units, one under the helm of Tom Tykwer and the other under the direction of Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski, sharing no crew members beside the cast and the directors themselves. 9. With a budget of over $100,000,000, Cloud Atlas is one of the most expensive independent films to date. 10. In 2005, while on the London set of V for Vendetta (2005), Natalie Portman gave a copy of the original novel to Lana Wachowski, who became deeply interested in it. A year later, both Wachowski siblings wrote a first draft of the screenplay. Tom Tykwer, a friend of the Wachowskis, was invited to co-author several subsequent drafts with them in the following two years, constantly keeping in mind observations by the book's author himself, David Mitchell, while looking for international investors. In all those years, Portman was promised the role of Sonmi-451, but had to turn down the role at the last minute after becoming pregnant in 2010. However, she is given a special thanks in the closing credits. 11. One of the few films in history that has three directors working together as an original team who equally share directing credit. Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski directed the 1849, 2144, and 2321 segments of the film. Tom Tykwer directed the 1936, 1973, and 2012 segments. 12. Because of the nature of casting on the film, the directors told the actors to think of their roles as a "genetic strain" rather than a series of individual parts, with actions in one story-line affecting another. 13. The film went through a series of troubles to land a financial backer, including studio Warner Brothers to pull out of financing the project as they didn't like the numbers. The directors had both waived their fees and started putting in their own money to keep the project afloat. Lana Wachowski credited Tom Hanks with helping get the film off the ground to the point where he inspired much of the cast and crew by being the first to fly to Berlin to begin shooting the film. According to Wachowski, Hanks was very enthusiastic about the project. 14. The cover of the book "The Revelation of Sonmi 451" is made from interwoven Fabricant collars. Its pages with their clothes and words stitched from strands of their own hair. 15. Number 451 (Luisa Rey's apartment and Sonmi-451) comes from a classic science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury, "Fahrenheit 451". It denotes a temperature needed to burn books. 16. While on the set of this movie, Tom Hanks started calling Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski, "Mom and Dad," because they worked so well together and as leaders of the cast and crew.
Doona Bae's emotional presence was mostly attributed to being very alone when she arrived to Germany and only kept in touch with the cast and crew. 17. Vyvyan Ayrs's mansion in the 1936 plot-line shows up again as Aurora House where Timothy Cavendish becomes imprisoned in the 2012 plot-line. Jim Broadbent plays Vyvyan in 1936 and also Timothy Cavendish in 2012. 18. Luisa Rey's parents Lester and Judith Rey appear to be a tip of the hat to sci-fi publishing greats Lester del Rey and Judy-Lynn del Rey.
The picture of Halle Berry's character's father originally came from the Korean War National Museum.
David Mitchell, author of the source novel, has a cameo in the Neo-Seoul sequence, playing a freedom fighter. 19. The character played by Amanda Walker is nursing-home resident "Veronica Costello," based on the popular song "Veronica" sung by Elvis Costello and written by Elvis Costello and Sir Paul McCartney, that song tells the story of a similar Veronica. 20. The first post-Bound (1996) film by Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski not to involve a video game tie-in. 21. The newly submitted manuscript that Timothy Cavendish is reviewing while riding the train is a Luisa Rey Mystery by Javier Gomez, the young boy that hangs around Rey's apartment and keeps telling her that her investigative assignments would make good mystery stories. 22. The jewel that Zachry (Tom Hanks) inspects at the beginning of the Big Island plot-line is actually a button from Adam Ewing's coat that was stolen by Dr. Henry Goose (Tom Hanks again). In the climactic struggle with the Kona tribe, in which Zachary is being strangled, the button breaking away from his necklace actually saves his life. 23. James D'Arcy is the only actor to play the same character (Rufus Sixsmith) in two different segments. 24. The six characters who have a comet-shaped birthmark (and who are the main character) in each history are these: Adam Ewing (Jim Sturgess), Robert Frobisher (Ben Whishaw), Luisa Rey (Halle Berry), Timothy Cavendish (Jim Broadbent), Sonmi 451 (Doona Bae), and Zachry (Tom Hanks). 25. During the prison escape in Neo-Seoul, at the point when the plumbing truck is forced by the police to land, there is a sign visible on a building reading (in English) "Swannekke Atomic Power, Inc.", an apparent connection to the company running the nuclear power plant in 1973. 26. Despite Sixsmith and Frobisher's close relationship in the film, they are never actually shown speaking to one another. 27. Movie contains a spoiler for Soylent Green (1973): Timothy Cavendish says "soylent green is people" which is a reference to Sonmi 451's story in which old clones are recycled as food to feed new clones, and also to a science fiction film he had seen in the past where old people are 'recycled' into a new staple in the diet called the soylent green. 28. All the characters played by Hugh Grant and Hugo Weaving in the movie are villains. 29. All cast members have several roles in the final film, spanning different times, races and even sexes. This was achieved through prosthetics, wardrobe and tight production times to switch actors between units. For instance, Halle Berry described the experience of filming as a Jewish woman in the 1930s under the direction of Tom Tykwer one day, then switching to an old tribal woman under the helm of Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski, and then again as a environmentalist in the 1970s, all in the same week. 30.

It was commissioned by the BBC and produced in association with HBO Films. The film is shot in many locations across London, including the now-standard "crossing the Thames" introductory shot backdropped by St. Paul's Cathedral and the 30 St Mary Axe Swiss Re office building (commonly referred to as "The Gherkin"). The Quinn's new residence is shown to be in the locale of the real Regent's Park. The drama was well received by some critics,[3][4] mostly overcoming the distraction of its high-powered cast. It was both commended and criticized[7][8] for its retention of its stage-play roots.

There's no danger of dying of encouragement." 2. Victor Quinn: "I must have drawn the wrong conclusion. Everyone dies after their last meal. That doesn't mean to say they were poisoned." 3. Victor Quinn: [of Mozart] "All that life-affirming can seem awfully jangly when it hits you at the wrong angle."
