Trivia: 1. It is an American biographical sports film written and directed by Brian Helgeland about the integration of baseball player Jackie Robinson, who wore jersey number 42, through his first year of professional baseball. The film stars Chadwick Boseman as Robinson, and Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey. Nicole Beharie, Christopher Meloni, Andre Holland, Lucas Black, Hamish Linklater, and Ryan Merriman appear in supporting roles. 42 was released in North America on April 12, 2013. 2. The film was filmed primarily in Macon, Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama, and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Some interior scenes were shot at Atlanta Film Studios Paulding County in Hiram, Georgia. Most of the interior stadium shots were filmed at Engel Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Utilizing old photographs and stadium blueprints, Ebbets Field, Shibe Park, The Polo Grounds, Crosley Field, and Forbes Field were recreated for the film using digital imagery. Filming locations: Rickwood Field - 1137 2nd Avenue W, Birmingham, Alabama, USA; Engel Stadium, Chattanooga, TN; Birmingham, Alabama, USA; Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA; Macon, Georgia, USA and Alabama, USA. 3. Historical inaccuracies: (a) Robinson and Rachel Isum became engaged in 1943, while he was still in the United States Army and before he began his professional baseball career, unlike in the film where he proposes after signing the contract with the Dodgers. (b) The Brooklyn Dodgers held their 1947 Spring Training in Havana, Cuba, not Panama City, Panama, as depicted in the movie. (c) The scene of Robinson breaking his bat in the dugout tunnel is not based in fact. Both Rachel Robinson and Ralph Branca, film consultant and Dodger pitcher in the dugout that day, say it did not happen. Director Helgeland concurs, explaining that his justification for including the scene was that he felt "there was no way Robinson could have withstood all that abuse without cracking at least once, even if it was in private." (d) Red Barber would not have broadcast Dodger away games from the opposing team's ballpark in Philadelphia and Cincinnati, as shown in the film. Radio broadcasts of away games in this era were recreated back at the studio from a pitch by pitch summary transmitted over telegraph wire from the stadium where the game was being played. (e) Wendell Smith is said to have been the first black member of the Baseball Writers Association of America; Sam Lacy was the first, having joined in 1948. (f) Pirates pitcher Fritz Ostermueller threw left-handed, not right-handed as in the film. His first inning pitch hit Robinson on the left wrist, not his head, and he claimed it was a routine brushback pitch without racist intent. There was no fight on the mound afterwards.[21] The climactic scene in which Robinson hit a home run to clinch the National League pennant for the Dodgers came in the top of the fourth inning of the game, did not clinch the victory (it made the score 1–0, and Dodgers eventually won 4–2), and did not clinch the pennant; the Dodgers clinched at least a tie for the pennant on that day before clinching the pennant the next day. The Home Run in the 4th inning that put the Brooklyn Dodgers ahead of Pittsburgh and lead to the 1947 pennant came in the following sequence: Ball 1, Ball 2, Foul, Foul, Home Run. The film shows a 3-0 count with Jackie asking for "something he can hit." (g) While Dodger manager Leo Durocher did have an affair with actress Laraine Day, the official reason for his suspension by commissioner Happy Chandler during Robinson's rookie year was allegations of gambling and not his relationship with Day. (h) Towards the end of the film Robinson's stats are stated by Red Barber and that point in the 1947 season he had stolen 27 bases without being caught on the season. In reality the caught stealing statistic was not an official stat at the time and would not become one until 1951. (i) Four umpires were present on opening day of the 1946 Jersey City Giants' season. To this day, the International League uses only three umpires per game. (j) The scene where Pee Wee Reese puts his arm around Jackie at a game in Cincinnati occurred in 1948, not 1947. 4. In 1997, baseball commissioner Bud Selig universally retired Jackie Robinson's number, 42. The handful of players still wearing the number were allowed to keep it. As of the film's release, only Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees continues to wear 42 on a daily basis, and he plans to retire after the 2013 season. 5. Branch Rickey is Harrison Ford's first film role playing a real life character. 6. Four players from the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers were still alive when this film came out: Tommy Brown, Ralph Branca, Marv Rackley, and Don Lund. 7. Pee Wee Reese's line that someday all Dodger players might be wearing the number 42 was actually said by Dodgers outfielder Gene Hermanski in 1951. Brian Helgeland liked the quote so much, he had Reese say it because he is a central character. Since 2004, every April 15th has been "Jackie Robinson Day" in Major League baseball, and every player wears number 42. Robinson's first day in the Major Leagues was April 15, 1947. 8. In the movie, the punishment for not agreeing to play on the same team with Jackie Robinson was being "traded to Pittsburgh". Branch Rickey left the Dodgers in 1950, and become general Manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1953. Bobby Bragan, who said he wanted to be traded but then asked not to be, ended up managing the Pirates in 1956. 9. The film broke the record for highest box office opening weekend by a baseball movie. The previous record holder was 2006's The Benchwarmers (2006). 10. Alan Tudyk claimed that he and Chadwick Boseman deliberately avoided fraternizing while filming their scenes together, to better convey the animosity between Jackie Robinson and Ben Chapman. 11. Branch Rickey blurts out "Judas Priest!" According to those closest to Rickey, that was the worst profanity he ever uttered. 12. The Birmingham (Alabama) News reported that Birmingham's Rickwood Field, the oldest surviving professional baseball field in the US, played three different roles in this movie. It doubled for Franklin D. Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which no longer exist. It also appeared in a scene recreating the 1945 season when Jackie Robinson was a member of the Kansas City Monarchs. 13. Although Chadwick Boseman underwent weeks of baseball training to prepare for his leading role, Jasha Balcom, a former minor league player, was his stuntman in some scenes. 14. When calling the catch of a fly ball in the movie, broadcaster Red Barber says "Back, back, back..." In another play-by-play call, he exclaims "Oh, Doctor!" Contrary to popular belief, Barber didn't use either line regularly. Barber said the only time he used those lines in a broadcast was when he called Al Gionfriddo's dramatic, game-saving catch off of Joe DiMaggio in the 1947 World Series. Since recordings of that Barber call became so famous, many people assumed they were trademark calls. 15. Howard Baldwin and wife Karen Elise Baldwin developed this project after their hit Ray (2004). They commented on how impossible it was to get an African-American bio pic made. 16. The role of Branch Rickey was originally intended for Robert Redford. Quotes: 1. Branch Rickey: "You think God likes baseball, Herb?" Herb Pennock: "What - ? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Branch Rickey: "It means someday you're gonna meet God, and when he inquires as to why you didn't take the field against Robinson in Philadelphia, and you answer that it's because he was a Negro, it may not be a sufficient reply!" 2. Ben Chapman: "Hey, Stanky, what's it like bein' a nigger's nigger?" Eddie Stanky: "I dunno, Chapman, what's it like bein' a redneck piece of shit?" 3. Branch Rickey: [Referring to Jackie Robinson] "He's a Methodist, I'm a Methodist... And God's a Methodist; We can't go wrong." 4. Reporter: "Whatcha gonna do if one of these pitchers throws for your head?" Jackie Robinson: "I'll duck." Anachronisms: 1. During Rachel's introductory shot, the camera slowly tracks toward her as she answers the phone. A modern-day air conditioning return vent can clearly be seen on the left wall of the hallway in which she stands. While Carrier developed the first home A/C in 1928, residential use only expanded dramatically in the '50's. It is highly unlikely that the Robinsons would have owned a house with central air at the time. 2. Music comes from the car radio as soon as the switch clicks. Car radios had vacuum tubes until the mid 1950s, and needed to warm up for 5 or 10 seconds before any sound was produced. 3. As the minor league team bus approaches the rural gas station, a caption says "Interstate 24". The Interstate system started in 1956. The road is most likely US Highway 24, which runs east-west through Kansas City.
The first establishing shot outside Branch Rickey's office, the Mechanics Bank Building, shows an elevated subway passing by. While there was a subway line at that location, it ceased operation in 1940, and was demolished soon after. 4. New York City police officers at Ebbets Field have silver nameplates below their badges. Nameplates were added to the NYPD's uniform regulations in the early 1970s, and they were black with white lettering for a decade. 5. After Jackie Robinson is hit near his eye on the forehead by a deliberate pitch, and you see him with stitches and steri-strips to keep the wound closed, the precursor to steri-strips called micropore tape wasn't invented until 1959. Now primitive, the original steri-strips were first used in 1962, and the strips used in the movie weren't available until the "90s", and early 21st century. 6. When Jackie is looking out of his room at the NY skyline, the Empire State Building is seen with modern lighting, and with the antenna mast that was not installed until 1950, three years after the time frame depicted in the movie.

Trivia: It is an American supernatural horror film directed by James Wan. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson star as Ed and Lorraine Warren who were American paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of haunting. Their reports inspired the Amityville Horror. The Warrens come to the assistance of the Perron family (Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor), who are experiencing increasingly disturbing events in their farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island in 1971. The Conjuring was released in the United States and Canada on July 19, 2013, and in the United Kingdom and India on August 6, 2013. The film has received positive reviews from film critics, and has also been praised by audiences. The film was also a box-office success, grossing over $318 million worldwide from its $20 million budget.

Principal photography began in late February 2012. Lasting for 38 days, shooting took place primarily at EUE/Screen Gems Studios as well as other locations in and around Wilmington, North Carolina. Filming also took place at the University of North Carolina Wilmington in March 2012 while the campus was on its spring break. Diana Pasulka, professor of Religious Studies at UNC-Wilmington, was the chief religious consultant for the project. After wrapping up in Wilmington on April 20, the film concluded its principal photography on April 26, 2012. All scenes were shot in chronological order.

Eight generations of families lived and died in the house before the Perrons moved in. Andrea Perron suggests that some of the spirits from the families never left. Deaths include two documented suicides, a poisoning death, the rape and murder of an 11-year old girl, two drownings, and the passing of four men who froze to death. Most deaths occurred within the Arnold family from which Bathsheba Sherman was descended.

Lorraine Warren and 'Andrea Perron' served as consultants to director James Wan and the screenwriters. They both claim the movie is accurate to the real story of what happened to the Perrons during the 10-years they lived in the farmhouse.

The state of Rhode Island does not require home sellers to disclose documented paranormal and supernatural hauntings to potential buyers. This is why the Perrons were unaware of all previous events.

The real Bathsheba Sherman was suspected of witchcraft and of killing an infant child, but her name was legally cleared after being found not guilty by a court of law. She died of natural causes in 1885, not by hanging as the movie portrays. She is buried in Harrisville, RI.
Quote: Carolyn Perron: "There is something horrible happening in my house."
Anachronisms: 1. At one point the cop offers Drew some coffee, and Drew refuses, saying, "I'm good." Saying "I'm good" to mean "No thank you" was not a part of idiomatic American English in 1971. 2. When Judy is walking down the stairs it is a very low shot and the smoke detector can be seen above her on the roof. Although smoke detectors were commercially available in 1968 it is completely the wrong shape the modern disc shaped, it should be a bee hive shape. 3. The Mustang parked at the motel had BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, not sold in 1971. 4. Just before Ed and Lorraine Warren visit the Perron family on November 1, 1971, the family is shown watching "The Brady Bunch." According to the clock on the mantle, the time is 1:55 in the afternoon, but that show did not start syndicated reruns until 1975. In any case, the family was watching the episode "A Room At The Top" which did not debut in prime time until March 1973. 5. The white GMC moving truck that pulls in behind the family station wagon when they first arrive at the house in 1971 wasn't available until 1973. 6. A few minutes into the movie the camera pans across the front porch. Visible along the base of the outside wall is a RJ-11 Phone Jack with a spring loaded cover. RJ-11 Phone Jacks were not in use in 1971. RJ-11 jacks were not introduced by phone companies until a 1976 FCC order ending the use of protective couplers provided exclusively by the telephone company.

Trivia: 1. It is an American comedy film and the fifth installment of the Scary Movie franchise. It was distributed by Dimension Films, a division of The Weinstein Company. The film is directed by Malcolm D. Lee and written by David Zucker. It was released on April 12, 2013. Scary Movie 5 is the first and only installment of the franchise not to feature Cindy Campbell (played by Anna Faris) or Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall). It premiered on April 11 at the Hollywood’s ArcLight Cinerama Dome.[5] The film parodies various horror films and other popular culture such as the novel Fifty Shades of Grey and Tyler Perry's character Madea. 2. Despite being universally panned by critics, the film was commercially successful, making over $78 million against its budget of $20 million. The film has earned three nominations at the 34th Golden Raspberry Awards including Worst Supporting Actress for Lindsay Lohan, Worst Screen Combo for Lohan and Charlie Sheen and Worst Prequel, Remake, Ripoff or Sequel. 3. Parodies: The main films parodied in Scary Movie 5 include Paranormal Activity,[11] Black Swan,[12] Mama[11] and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.[11] Other films parodied are Sinister,[11] Inception,[11] Ted (only in the unrated DVD),[13] Evil Dead (which was released a week prior to SM5),[11] The Cabin in the Woods,[12] Insidious[14] and The Help.[15] The film also parodies the best-selling novel Fifty Shades of Grey,[16] and Tyler Perry's character Madea.
The film was largely shot in and around Atlanta, Georgia in the fall of 2012, with additional filming January and February 2013 at Sunset Gower Studios in Los Angeles. David Zucker reportedly handled additional filming and reshoots while Malcolm D. Lee was starting production for The Best Man Holiday.

Anna Faris didn't return for Scary Movie 5 due to pregnancy. Other cast members from the previous films, like Regina Hall, Kevin Hart and Anthony Anderson were offered roles but opted not to return.
Longest break in the release of Scary Movie films at almost 7 years.

Marlon Wayans, who originally created the "Scary Movie" franchise alongside his brothers Keenen Ivory and Shawn back in 2000, told in an interview that the studio asked the Wayans Brothers to return for "Scary Movie 5", but the brothers declined. Marlon Wayans later released his own horror movie spoof "A Haunted House" (2013) which performed so well at the box office that it spawned its own franchise, with "A Haunted House 2" to be released in 2014.

David Zucker directed the additional/re-shoots from January to February 2013. Main actress Ashley Tisdale told in several interviews that the material from the re-shoots (and ADR sessions) make about 60% of the final theatrical cut. Director Malcolm D. Lee didn't have anything to do with the editings since he was already engaged in doing "The Best Man Holiday" (2013) by the time they did them. Lee didn't even show up at the "Scary Movie 5" premiere in LA for unknown reasons.

David Zucker told in an interview that the movie's release actually had a 3 year wait because the studio tried to convince him to return to direct. Finally, the studio and Zucker agreed that Zucker returns, but as a writer. Then the studio hired Malcolm D. Lee to direct after Lee helmed "Soul Men" (2008) for the same studio. Before Zucker was added to write, the initial script was delivered by writers Stephen Leff, John Aboud and Michael Colton. Zucker rewrote it first together with Lee and later again with his long-time writing partner Pat Proft.

The spell 'Gort Klaatu Barada Nikto' was originally heard in the 1951 science fiction movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" as a phrase with which to awaken Gort, the mechanical guardian, and ordering him to protect Klaatu, the alien visitor played by Michael Renny. The phrase was also used in the movie's 2008 remake starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly.

Since Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (2012) isn't very known in Germany, the reference to the show was replaced by I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! (2003) in the German dubbed version, which is a hit reality series on German TV - similar changes were also made in other countries, such as Brazil. The dubbing actor who voices Dom Kolb in the German version is actually the same who usually dubs Leonardo DiCaprio.

"The Evil Dead" is spoofed although it was released only one week before "Scary Movie 5". The "Scary" producers approached the "Evil Dead" script and basically spoofed the trailer. The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie isn't even in production yet, but is already spoofed in this film.

Filming begun on Tuesday, September 4, 2012 and wrapped on Thursday, October 25, 2012. Additional footage recordings and re-shoots occurred between January and February, 2013 with ADR sessions taking part in March and April.
Unlike the previous Scary Movie films, this is the only one that has a "happy ending" with the only actual deaths being Charlie Sheen's and Mama's.
Both David Zucker and the sound mixer, Chris Durfy are avid Green Bay Packers fans and Wisconsin natives. They both have a cameo in the Black Swan spoof near the end of the movie dressed as Packer fans for the Lambeau Leap.

Chinese version: For the version of the film shown in China, the directors included additional scenes in the beginning and at the end of the film. The Chinese-American lead is changed to a Chinese student who briefly transfers to an American college. According to Jon Lucas, the Chinese version will be about "a boy who leaves China, gets corrupted by our wayward, Western partying ways and goes back to China a better person."
21 & Over has received mostly negative reviews from critics. Relativity Media has been criticized by civil rights advocates for shooting part of the comedy 21 & Over in the city of Linyi, Shandong province in China, and choosing to ignore the area's bleak human rights records, notably the treatment suffered by activist lawyer Chen Guangcheng, who was being held under house arrest in a nearby village.
Justin Chon is actually ten years older than his character at the time of the film's release.

Trivia: It is an American science fiction action adventure film directed by M. Night Shyamalan, which he co-wrote with Gary Whitta, based on an original story idea by Will Smith. A military father and his teenage son crash land on Earth one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity to abandon Earth for a new home planet. The son must save his dying father and himself by trekking alone across hostile terrain pursued by evolved predators and an alien beast to recover a rescue-beacon. It is the second film (the first being The Pursuit of Happyness) that stars real-life father and son Will and Jaden Smith; with Will Smith also producing via his company Overbrook Entertainment and the distribution by Columbia Pictures.

The film was released in IMAX on May 31, 2013. It received generally negative reviews from critics, who cited it as lacking originality, while its visual effects, acting and themes received a mixed response. Much of the filming took place in Costa Rica, Humboldt County, and Aston.

The original idea for the film was a father and son on a camping trip. After the car they're traveling in careens off the road, the son makes his way through the forest to find help for the father. Realizing that the idea had greater potential, producer Will Smith and screenwriter Gary Whitta decided to adapt the basic survival concept into a much larger science-fiction project.

Although not credited on the finished film, co-writer/producer Will Smith was responsible for much of the movie's direction. While M. Night Shyamalan was primarily in charge of the blocking (composition of shots, placement of the camera) and the visual aspects of the film (color and design), Will Smith who personally coached Jaden Smith in his performance and dictated the development of the story and the on-screen action.

There are two animals that can be linked as a proxy of animals that really co-existed with humans and were quite dangerous. The predatory big cats are often referred to as "sabre-toothed" cats, which could be true if one was using Machairodus or Homotherium as a reference. The giant condor could be based on Argentavis, a giant condor of the South American Miocene Epoch that is considered the largest flying bird to ever have existed. The Haast Eagle seems to also be a source of inspiration, which was the largest bird of prey ever to take flight and existed in New Zealand from the end of the Pleistocene to the middle of the Holocene in approximately 1400 AD when their main food source, the giant Moa went extinct through human activity. What this has to do with the condor of this film is that the Maori Settlers told stories of the bird carrying away children, men, and women and was known to these people as the Pouakai.
A series of spin-off novels, sub-titled "Ghost Stories", have been planned to promote the movie, but are also intended to flesh out the concepts in the film itself. The titles of these books include 'Innocence', Peace, 'Hunted' and 'A Perfect Beast.' All books are written by writers Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman and Robert Greenberger, with illustrations by Benito Lobel.
Second time that real-life father and son Will Smith and Jaden Smith play father and son on screen. The first time was in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006).
Hesper was a bulk-freighter steamship that was used to tow schooner-barges on the Great Lakes. The Hesper sank off the coast of Lake Superior at Silver Bay, Minnesota, USA, in a late spring snowstorm in 1905. The Hesper is the ship that Jaden and Will Smith boarded and crashed in.
M. Night Shyamalan's first digital film. The first feature film shot with Sony's F65 digital camera.
To promote the movie, Harper Collins and Insight Editions published 'After Earth: United Ranger Corps Survival Manual' and 'After Earth: Kitai's Journal.'
The original screenplay was written by Gary Whitta based on an idea by Will Smith. In pre-production, director M. Night Shyamalan did a few drafts of the screenplay to familiarize himself with the material, before passing it over to Stephen Gaghan, who stayed on as the chief screenwriter during production. Mark Boal, writer of The Hurt Locker (2008) and Zero Dark Thirty (2012), also worked on the script.
When Kitai is walking to see his father after they've been rescued he pases a man sitting in front of a screen. On the screen is Kitai's killing of the Ursa. You can see the moment with Kitai stands up pulling out the blades on the screen.
Quote: Kitai Raige: "Dad..." Cypher Raige: "Yeah?" Kitai Raige: "I wanna work with Mom." Cypher Raige: "Me too."

Juror. HBO, March 14, 2014. Soundtrack: Music by Peter Rodgers Melnick.

Summary: A defense lawyer (played by James Woods) defends an average American family from shocking allegations of child abuse and satanic rituals. After seven years and $16 million, the trial ends with the dismissal of all charges.
Trivia: It is a made for TV movie that originally aired on HBO on May 20, 1995. Indictment is based on the true story of the McMartin preschool trial.
Reception: John J. O'Connor, writing for The New York Times:
“This is a portrait of mass hysteria, fueled by panic-stricken parents, overzealous prosecutors, irresponsible talk shows and an out-of-control tabloid press..."Is Indictment balanced? Is it fair to the other side? No. As Mr. [Abby] Mann puts it, "What other side?" Watch it and shudder."”
Also writing for The New York Times, Seth Mydans said: “The film makes no pretense at objectivity: There are good guys in the McMartin saga, and there are very, very bad guys..." He adds "Nor does the film try to examine difficult issues. It is a drama not so much about the painful process of assessing children's stories of abuse or about the fear and guilt their parents feel but about the destructiveness of a system run amok.”
Impact: The film is cited as a watershed in the shift of ideas about satanic ritual abuse in the United States, recasting Ray Buckey as a victim of a hysterical conspiracy rather than a child abuser.
Filming Location: Los Angeles, California, USA.

The real-life Peggy McMartin Buckey, imprisoned for two years while awaiting the outcome of the most protracted U.S. criminal molestation case targeting her family's preschool, died December 15, 2000. She, her mother Virginia McMartin and her son Ray Buckey were charged, with four others, with 100 counts of child molestation in 1983. The case lasted seven years and cost Los Angeles County $13 million. Peggy was acquitted in 1990 after a three-year trial; Ray, incarcerated for five years, was acquitted of 40 counts. Critics said the case pinpointed the danger of basing criminal charges solely on the testimony of young children.
Quote: Danny Davis: "Are you kidding me with those glasses? You look like a child molester. Get rid of them or it's gonna be a short trial." Continuity: In the last sequence, the walkway on Manhattan Beach pier is alternately wet and dry from shot to shot.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. 2013, Starring
Steve Carell as Burt Wonderstone:

A formerly successful magician.[8] The character's design is based partly on famous magicians Siegfried & Roy.[9] Mason Cook, who was eleven years old in 2012, portrays Wonderstone as a child. Cook learned several magic tricks under a magic supervisor to portray Wonderstone as he begins to discover magic.[10]

Steve Buscemi as Anton Marvelton:

Wonderstone's former partner.[11][12] Buscemi entered negotiations for a role on October 31, 2011.[4] Luke Vanek, who was eleven years old in 2012, portrays Marvelton as a child.[13]

Olivia Wilde as Jane:

Burt and Anton's assistant who dreams of becoming a magician.[14][15] On October 27, 2011, it was reported that Wilde, Michelle Monaghan, Judy Greer, Sarah Silverman and Jessica Biel were in contention for the female lead.[16] This list was reduced to Silverman, Wilde, and Greer,[4] with all making strong impressions on the filmmakers but with Wilde as the front-runner.[4][17][18] It was later reported that the filmmakers were waiting for Biel to audition before making their final decision.[4] Ultimately it was Wilde who secured the role.

Alan Arkin as Rance Holloway:

An elderly magician who inspired Burt to become a magician.[19] Holloway was originally scripted to die, but the studio felt that audiences would have too much of a connection to the character and so he remained alive.[20]

James Gandolfini as Doug Munny:

Billionaire owner of the Bally's Casino where Burt and Anton perform.[11] Gandolfini was reported to be in talks for the role on October 29, 2011.[17] In early December Gandolfini traveled to Las Vegas to research his role, speaking with magicians Criss Angel and Nathan Burton, and The Mirage casino president Felix Rapaport and executive Kenny Epstein, and philanthropist Larry Ruvo. Speaking on their meeting, Rappaport stated that Gandolfini wanted to prepare for the role by "getting insights in Las Vegas, specifically in the entertainment world and the world of magic."[21]

Jim Carrey as Steve Gray:[22]

A street-magician with a dangerous act.[17] Carrey entered negotiations for a role in the film in October 2011.[23] The character was described by Scardino as "if David Blaine and Criss Angel had a child", but that Carrey is "such an idiosyncratic performer, he's not quite either of those guys."[9] Carrey undertook a strict diet to lose weight and improve his physique for the role.[24] The character was originally written as a low-key, bored villain who spoke so quietly that people would lean in to hear him, but after Carrey joined he wanted to take the character in a "Jesus-y" direction.[20] Adam Pally was considered for the role.[25]

The cast also includes: Jay Mohr as magician Rick the Implausible;[26] Michael Herbig as Lucius Belvedere, a magician with a German background and a thing for cats;[14][27] Zachary Gordon as a bully from Wonderstone's youth;[28] Brad Garrett as Dom, Burt's accountant;[29] Gillian Jacobs as Miranda, a magic fan who has a one-night stand with Wonderstone;[30] and illusionist David Copperfield cameos as himself.[9] The film's co-writer John Francis Daley cameos as a paramedic.

Trivia: It is an American comedy film directed by Don Scardino and written by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, based on a story by Chad Kultgen & Tyler Mitchell, and Daley & Goldstein. The film follows Las Vegas magician Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) as he attempts to reunite with his former partner Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) to take on dangerous street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey). It also features Alan Arkin, Olivia Wilde and James Gandolfini.

The film began development in 2006, when New Line Cinema bought Kultgen's script, "Burt Dickenson: The Most Powerful Magician on Planet Earth". The development process gained momentum when Charles McDougall was hired as director in 2011, but he eventually left the project and was replaced with Scardino. Daley and Goldstein rewrote Kultgen's script which then saw further rewrites from Jason Reitman in June 2011.

Filming was scheduled to begin in October 2011, in Los Angeles, California but was pushed back to January 2012. On a $30 million budget, filming began on January 10, 2012 in Nevada with filming later moving to Los Angeles. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone was released on March 15, 2013, and earned over $27 million. Reviews generally praised Carrey's and Arkin's performances, but criticized the plot's inconsistent tone and predictability.
Filming locations:
JW Marriott Hotel - 900 W. Olympic Boulevard, Downtown, Los Angeles, California, USA (Doug Casino);
Santa Clarita, California, USA
The Prince - 3198 W. Seventh Street, Koreatown, Los Angeles, California, USA
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Los Angeles, California, USA

David Copperfield told some very confidential secrets for some magic tricks in the film, so confidential that he had them sign secrecy contracts.

Steve Gray (Jim Carrey) is clearly a parody of famed illusionist Criss Angel, who also served as one of the film's consultants.

Don Scardino insisted that the over-the-top illusions be entirely shot with practical special effects. Magician David Copperfield served as an advisor for those scenes, and certain shots had to be achieved with digital effects.

This film features two third-collaborations for Steve Carell, specifically Jim Carrey (the first two collaborations being Bruce Almighty (2003) and Horton Hears a Who! (2008)) and Alan Arkin (the first two collaborations being Little Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and Get Smart (2008)).

Isla Fisher got into difficulty while filming the piranha tank scene. The top of the tank remained opened so that Fisher would be able to swim to the top to get some air, and there was also an emergency lever inside the tank that, if pulled, would alert the crew that she needed help. During one take, Fisher was running out of air and tried to swim to the top, but the chains on the handcuffs she was wearing got stuck on the bottom of the tank, so she was unable to swim to the top or pull the lever. She then attempted to alert the crew by hitting the glass of the tank, but since her character is supposed to be panicked and scared in the scene, the crew thought she was acting. The stunt coordinator finally realized that something was wrong after he noticed that her handcuffs were stuck.

Louis Leterrier stated in interviews that Mark Ruffalo was his first choice for Bruce Banner/Hulk in The Incredible Hulk (2008) before the role went to Edward Norton. Ruffalo took over the role starting with The Avengers (2012), which was directed by Joss Whedon and not Leterrier.

In the scene before J. Daniel Atlas and Merritt McKinney enter the secret room, McKinney tells Atlas that he is a "bit of a control freak," to which Atlas replies "Have we met before?" This is a nod to the previous film, Zombieland that Harrelson and Eisenberg have done together.
Each of the tarot cards refers to a Horseman. J. Daniel Atlas' (Jesse Eisenberg) card is the "Lovers", referencing his implied sexual prowess. Merritt McKinney's (Woody Harrelson) card is the "Hermit", referencing how his brother abandons him and destroys his career, leaving him alone and with nothing. Henley Reeves' (Isla Fisher) card is the "Temple Priestess", referencing her trick with the bloody tank, similar to a blood sacrifice. Jack Wilder's (Dave Franco) card is "Death", and his is the only card with a meaning that is not explained until late in the movie, where he fakes his own death. The Death card in Tarot mainly means change, most likely referencing Wilder's change from being seen as a kid at the start to an actual adult at the end.

Quotes: 1. J. Daniel Atlas: "The more you look, the less you see." 2. Jack Wilder: "Nothing is ever locked." 3. Merritt McKinney: "If by "has-been" you're referring to me, I just wanna say I'm flattered, because I always considered myself a never-was." 4. J. Daniel Atlas: "The closer you think you are, the less you'll actually see."

Trivia: It is an American crime drama film directed by Derek Cianfrance, written by Cianfrance, Ben Coccio, and Darius Marder. It stars Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, and Ray Liotta, with Ben Mendelsohn, Rose Byrne, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Bruce Greenwood, Harris Yulin, and Dane DeHaan in supporting roles. The film reunites Cianfrance and Gosling, who worked together on 2010's Blue Valentine. The film was scored by Mike Patton. The title is the English meaning of the city of Schenectady, New York, which is derived loosely from a Mohawk word for "place beyond the pine plains." The film featured previously written music by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. The Place Beyond the Pines received positive reviews from critics. Mahershalalhashbaz Ali was born Mahershalalhashbaz Gilmore in Oakland, California. He is named after one of the sons of Isaiah in the Bible. Raised a Christian, he later converted to Islam.

State Street, Schenectady, New York, USA (bank robbery and street chase).

According to director Derek Cianfrance, he met with Ryan Gosling at his agent's home in 2007 while working on Blue Valentine. He asked Ryan Gosling (paraphrased), "You've done so much already, what is there in life you haven't done that you want to do?" Ryan Gosling responded that he has always wanted to rob a bank. "What has kept you from robbing a bank?" Being arrested. "And how would you go about robbing a bank?" Ryan Gosling described robbing a bank on a motorcycle because it is fast and agile, and the helmet would conceal his identity, then stashing the motorcycle in the back of a truck because the police would be looking for the motorcycle. Derek Cianfrance responded that he was actually writing a screenplay about a bank robber in exactly that way, and he felt that Ryan Gosling was meant to play this role.

Director Derek Cianfrance claims that he would not have made the movie without Bradley Cooper cast as Avery Cross. In fact, he drove 5 hours to Toronto to meet with Cooper in person to convince him to take the role. Cianfrance says he did write the role for Cooper - "a guy who's paraded around as a hero but inside feels corrupted."

Ben Mendelsohn completely improvised the line "If you ride like lightning you're gonna crash like thunder." Derek Cianfrance admitted it was not in the script on the audio commentary of the movie.

Two months before filming, Andrij Parekh, who shot Blue Valentine, refused to do the film largely because of the Globe of Death stunt in the opening. According to Derek Cianfrance, Parekh spoke to him on the phone saying he refused to do the film because he had dream that he would be killed during filming. This nearly became a reality though as during the filming of the stunt, cinematographer Sean Bobbitt was nearly killed but was instead knocked unconscious when a motorcycle landed on top of him despite wearing heavy protection gear and helmet after filming the second take of the stunt inside the cage.

Derek Cianfrance shot 22 takes of Ryan Gosling performing the stunt of speeding the motorcycle past the intersection before 36 cars crashed into one another. Cianfrance originally wanted a stunt double to do it but could not hide the stuntman. He also noted that for each take until Gosling finally got it right, he chewed his shirt in nervousness until there was a hole in it by the time the stunt was over.

Rather than hold a typical audition for Eva Mendes director Derek Cianfrance had her drive him around L.A. and show him her favourite places to determine whether she was the right choice to play Romina.

In the opening track shot scene, several assistant directors actually appear on the fairground wearing Dr. Seuss hats. They were instructed to distract the extras into not looking at the camera and at a shirtless Ryan Gosling walking into the a circus tent. The shot was conceived by cinematographer Sean Bobbitt who wanted to have it as a way to teach the audience watching the movie.

Derek Cianfrance wrote the script based on the town his wife Shannon Plumb grew up in, Schenectady, NY. The film is mostly filmed there on location. The phrase "Place Beyond the Pines" is actually the Native American meaning to the word "Schenectady".

When Luke and Robin prepare for their first robbery, Luke says "Not since Hall and Oates has there been such a team." Later, as Avery, Scott and Deluca drive to Rowina's home to investigate, the Hall and Oates song "Maneater" is playing. In the French translation, Luke speaks about "Starsky and Hutch" instead of Hall and Oates, who are not well known in France.

The film includes appearance by director Cianfrance's wife Shannon Plumb as a woman in an ice cream parlor.
Greta Gerwig was originally cast as Jennifer, but was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Ginnifer Goodwin auditioned for the role of Jennifer.
Despite receiving top billing, Ryan Gosling only appears in the first 50 minutes of the film and only shares one brief scene (his death scene) with second billed Bradley Cooper. Bradley Cooper does not appear until 47 minutes into the film.
Quotes: 1. Robin: "If you ride like lightning, you're going to crash like thunder." 2. Luke: "I'm not asking for an advance, I'm quitting." Jack: "You can't quit." Luke: "I just did." 3. Luke: "Not since Hall and Oates has there been such a team." Anachronisms: 1. While most of the money shown taken in the bank robberies were of the correct design for the time period (the first act was set in 1997), there is a scene in Avery's garage that shows a stack of stolen $20s. The bill on top is a redesigned $20 with the large head portrait, which was not introduced until 1998. 2. When Cross leaves the police station after putting the cash back in the evidence box, he sees the chief standing by the cruiser talking to Deluca. A modern 2011 Hyundai Sonata in Limited trim with Turbo drives in the background. This would not have been available in the time the scene takes place (circa 1990, with the last arc of the film taking place in present day). 3. The beginning of the film takes place in the 1990s. The General Electric sign is shown with red and green lights. During this time, however, these colors were used only for Christmas time. It is clearly summer time when the film takes place, therefore the lights should have been white. However, in recent years, the lights remain red and green all year round.

Storyline: An ex-CIA agent and his estranged daughter are forced on the run when his employers erase all records of his existence, and mark them both for termination as part of a wide-reaching international conspiracy. Trivia: 1. It is a thriller film directed by Philipp Stölzl, starring Aaron Eckhart and Olga Kurylenko. The story centers on Ben Logan (Aaron Eckhart) an Ex-CIA agent and Amy (Liana Liberato), his estranged daughter who are forced on the run when his employers erase all records of his existence, and mark them both for termination as part of a wide-reaching international conspiracy. The movie was released in the US on May 17, 2013, following its acquisition by RaDiUS-TWC, the multiplatform distribution label of The Weinstein Company. It was retitled "Erased" for the US market. 2. Filming locations: Central Station, Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium (Train Station); Bourse, Brussels, Brussels-Capital, Belgium; Montréal, Québec, Canada; Gare du Nord, Brussels, Brussels-Capital, Belgium; Hotel Metropole, Brussels, Brussels-Capital, Belgium; Palais de Justice, Brussels, Brussels-Capital, Belgium. 3. All of the outdoor and tram scenes were filmed in Brussels, even though several parts of the film are situated in Antwerp. The traffic signs are in two languages and the tram is of the MIVB/STIB the local public transport service. 4. One of the scenes (when Ben has just discovered his entire company has disappeared) is supposedly shot in Antwerp. However traffic light posts are painted red and white indicating the scenes weren't filmed in Flanders where traffic light posts are black/yellow. Googling a hotel name in the background reveals the scene was actually shot in Brussels. 5. Anna meets Ben on the train from Bruxelles Nord and they are on the train for a considerable time whilst driving through the country. When Ben gets out, it 's still the station of Bruxelles Nord. 6. Ben and Amy are reading a map of Antwerp. The next moment, still being in Antwerp, you can see trams of Brussels driving. 7. In the beginning of the movie, Ben tells to Anna to go to Brussels. But at that moment they are already in Brussels. 7. The car crash supposedly happens whilst leaving Brussels when they actually drive in to the city. When the car is on its side roadsigns point to "Mechelen-Noord", "Mechelen-Zuid" en "Mechelen-Centrum" (Mechelen North, South and City Centre) leading to believe these scenes were filmed in Mechelen and not in Brussels. In reality, the scene was shot in Mirabel, Quebec, Canada. The road is Highway 50, near what used to be Mirabel International Airport (now closed), which can be seen in the background (black building with multi-level parking). 8. Featured in The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: Episode #21.144 (2013) (TV Episode) - Aaron Eckhart introduces a clip from his film.

Questioning Darwin. 2014 (HBO Documentary), Starring Brian Protheroe as Narrator and Samuel West as Charles Darwin (voice), and numerous other interviewees. HBO, March 18, 2014, with Dr. Connie Luther. Soundtrack: Music by Peter Gregson - musician and Sam Watts - original music. Trivia: Directed and Produced by Antony Thomas. Review: I gave this "documentary" a 4 for some nice photography and reenactment of Darwin's time period. Otherwise, this film is superficial and trite on both sides of the controversy. There is little shown of the massive amount of physical evidence, gathered by thousands of scientists from different cultures over the past hundred years, which supports the theory of evolution. Mainly the film dwells on Darwin's angst at where his studies led him. The religious side is treated unseriously, mainly being a string of earnest Christian fundamentalists stating that they can't believe in evolution because then they would have to reject the absoluteness of the bible being literal truth (God's word). There is actually no "Questioning" in "Questioning Darwin". Everything portrayed is either accepting or rejecting the notion of evolution. Nor do I recall much attempt to explain any pseudo scientific alternative to evolution, such as "intelligent design" or "irreducible complexity", other than a brief visit to the silly Creation Museum in Kentucky. Pretty well missing were representatives from the millions of believers in God who do not see a conflict between evolution and a belief in God. (Or a mention that some atheists insist that there is a fatal conflict between evolution and religion.) Also missing are representatives of other religions who also adhere to creationism. It is not just a Christian eccentricity. This film is basically a shallow, missed opportunity to thoroughly dissect an important issue.

Trivia: It is an American 3D computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It was directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae. It is the fourteenth feature film produced by Pixar and is a prequel to 2001's Monsters, Inc., marking the first time Pixar has made a prequel film. Disney, as the rights holder, had plans for a second Monsters, Inc. film since 2005. Following disagreements with Pixar, Disney tasked its Circle 7 Animation unit to make the sequel. An early draft of the film was developed, however, Disney's purchase of Pixar in early 2006 led to the cancellation of the Circle 7's version of the film. A Pixar-made sequel was confirmed in 2010, and in 2011, it was confirmed that the film would instead be a prequel titled Monsters University.

Monsters University tells the story of two monsters, Mike and Sulley, and their time studying at college, where they start off as rivals, but slowly become best friends. Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Bob Peterson, and John Ratzenberger reprise their roles as Mike Wazowski, James P. Sullivan, Randall Boggs, Roz, and the Abominable Snowman, respectively. Bonnie Hunt, who played Ms. Flint in the first film, voices Mike's grade school teacher, Ms. Karen Graves. The music for the film is composed by Randy Newman, marking his seventh collaboration with Pixar.

Monsters University premiered on June 5, 2013 at the BFI Southbank in London, United Kingdom and was released on June 21, 2013, in the United States. It was accompanied in theaters by a short film, The Blue Umbrella, directed by Saschka Unseld. The film received positive reviews and was a box office success, grossing $743 million against its estimated budget of $200 million.
For research, the filmmakers visited several colleges in the U.S., including Harvard University, Stanford University, and the University of Alabama, observing college architecture, student life, Greek organizations, and the teaching methods of professors and faculty. To research fraternity life, which is central to the film, many of the film's producers spent several weeks at a fraternity house.

STUDIO TRADEMARK: The Pizza Planet truck, first featured in Toy Story (1995), can be seen parked by the left of the ROR fraternity house during the party.
When Randy tries to fit in the fraternities, he bakes cupcakes that have icing on them that spell out "Be My Pal". This is only in the US release of the film. All other versions simply have happy faces drawn in icing on each cupcake.
There is a line in the first Monsters, Inc. (2001) where Mike says that Sully has been jealous of his looks since the fourth grade. Since this movie was going to show Mike and Sully meeting in college, it obviously contradicts that line. Director Dan Scanlon admitted that there was some conflict behind that and even had one treatment show Sully and Mike meeting in the fourth grade then skipping ahead to their university years. Pete Docter (director of the first Monsters, Inc.) and John Lasseter personally told Scanlon that they loved that he was honoring that one line said in the movie, but he "...had to do what was best for the story". As a result, the line was put aside and Sully and Mike would be shown meeting in university. As a joke, Scanlon said that Mikes line in the first movie is "an old monster expression."
STUDIO TRADEMARK: Professor Knight's lecture hall is room A113, a room at CalArts where animation classes are taught.
John Ratzenberger makes his traditional Pixar film appearance, reprising his role as Yeti (a.k.a. The Abonimable Snowman) from Monsters, Inc. (2001). Yeti's job in the Monsters, Inc. mailroom is a nod to John's famous role as postman Cliff Clavin in Cheers (1982). Yeti warns Mike and Sully that tampering with the mail is punishable by exile to the human world, foreshadowing his exile in Monsters, Inc.
When Mike & Sully are in the human summer camp, the child who comes out of the bathroom before Mike is about to leave roars at him. The roar is a sound recording used from Monsters, Inc. (2001) for the character, Boo.
As the students enter the School of Scaring building, they all touch the front paw of the statue in front of the building. This is a reference to a tradition at Harvard University where students touch the left foot of the statue of John Harvard for good luck. As a result, the foot of the statue of Harvard is shiny and polished down. The animators included that onto the statue in the movie as well.
Despite being offered the role of Dean Hardscrabble outright, Helen Mirren requested that she audition for the role anyway to ensure that the film's makers were satisfied with her performance.
The first prequel to a Pixar film.
When Sully enters Mike & Randall's room with Fear Tech's pig, a motivational poster can be seen above Randall's bed that reads "Winds of Change: Shh... Can you hear them?". Randall says the same line to Mike in the locker room during Monsters, Inc. (2001).
Mike's parents were originally planned to be included in the story. They would drop Mike off for his first day at Monsters University. Director Dan Scanlon decided to drop them from the finished film to make Mike seem just that much more vulnerable.
In Squishie's basement a poster of Mike's six wheel drive can be seen on the wall.
Celia and Mr. Waternoose actually "appear" in the movie. In the closing portion there's a note from Celia in Mike's locker asking her to call him. Also, there's a photograph showing Mr. Waternoose a few seconds after.
The Monsters University campus is based largely on the University of California at Berkeley campus, which is very close to Pixar's headquarters in Emeryville, CA. The Monsters University gate is based on UC Berkeley's famous Sather Gate, and the clock tower in the film is based on Berkeley's Campanille clock tower. (UC Berkeley also carries the 510 area code, seen in the film.)
Scarer cards were a special feature on the original 2-Disc Monsters, Inc. (2001) DVD.
Early drafts included Mike and Sulley in grade school together (to respect the "fourth grade" quote in Monsters, Inc. (2001)) and appearances by the characters of Celia, Fungus and Henry J. Waternoose (recast as Kelsey Grammer, replacing James Coburn who died in 2002). Grammer never made it into the film; Waternoose appears only in a photograph.
The School of Scaring building is a visual homage to the famous H.P. Lovecraft monster, Cthulhu. The green central dome is clearly designed in the shape of a head (with skylights placed strategically as eyes) and the columns flanking the main entrance (which itself is lined with teeth) bear a strong resemblance to Cthulhu's mouth-tentacles.
WILHELM SCREAM: As Mike runs over a student with the floor waxer.
STUDIO TRADEMARK: Pixar's Luxo Jr. (1986) ball appears as a drawing on the stone wall at the beginning of the first Scare Games task.
The area code on Don Carlton's business card is (510), which is the same as Emeryville, California, where the Pixar studio is located.
When Mike is riding the pig through a fraternity house, one can spot a poster of the 1976 KISS album "Rock And Roll Over" on the wall in the right corner.
The School of Scaring building resembles Hamerschlag Hall at Carnegie Mellon University.
Doug Sweetland, who directed the Pixar short Presto (2008), was originally set to direct Monsters University, before being replaced with Dan Scanlon.
The Roar Omega Roar fraternity's symbol resembles the logo R.U.R from the play "Rossum's Universal Robots" by Karl Capek. The play is a Sci-Fi/horror story where robots rise up and destroy humanity.
Mike and Sully meet in college here but in Monsters Inc. Mike says at the beginning that Sully has been jealous of Mike's good looks since the 4th grade implying they'd known each other in elementary school.

Traveller. HBO, March 19, 2014, with Dr. Connie Luther. Soundtrack: Music by Nicholas Hooper.

Storyline: A look at the evolution of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, and Einstein's relationship with British scientist Sir Arthur Eddington, the first physicist to understand his ideas.
Trivia: It is a British single drama produced by Company Pictures and the BBC, in association with HBO. It featured David Tennant as British scientist Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, and Andy Serkis as Albert Einstein. This is the story of Einstein's theory of general relativity, his relationship with Eddington and the introduction of this theory to the world, against the backdrop of the Great War. It was first broadcast on BBC Two on 22 November 2008.
Production: Einstein And Eddington is written by Peter Moffat and directed by Philip Martin, who both collaborated for the production of Hawking, a BBC biopic about the acclaimed physicist. It is produced by Company Pictures and the BBC, with HBO and Pioneer Pictures, Hungary.[2]

Location filming occurred at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, St John's College, Cambridge, and on the Adriatic Coast of Croatia. Walter Isaacson acted as consultant (with Francisco Diego as eclipse advisor).
Filming locations: Cambridge University, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, UK; Fót Studios, Budapest, Hungary (Eddington's office); Mali Losinj, Croatia (Principe); Museum of Ethnography, Budapest, Hungary (Royal Astronomical Society); Tata, Hungary (swiss lakeside).

When Eddington went to the railway station to see Marston off, he used a subway to get across to platform 3. Cambridge station has no subway, all the platforms are accessible on the level.
In the Berlin café there are many German officers wearing hats or helmets indoors. German and Prussian military code forbade the wearing of hats or helmets inside, in fact in general it was not good gentlemanly manners to wear hat indoors in much of Europe.
During the partial phase of the eclipse of the Sun, the entire outline of the Moon was visible. This does not happen in reality.
Eddington chases a train on his bicycle when his friend is going off to war. The train leaves Cambridge is in the East of England, yet the engine pulling the train is painted in the colours of GWR as were the fixtures and fittings on the platform.
The scene where Einstein insults the other University's scientists is supposed to be a day after the deployment of gas at the second battle of Ypres. Amongst the scientists is Fritz Haber. In actuality Haber would have not been present as he was present at the front to see the deployment of the chemicals.
Elsa Einstein is portrayed as being significantly younger than Albert Einstein, while in reality, she was 3 years his senior.
Oliver Lodge's son Raymond was indeed killed at Ypres but by shrapnel, not gas, and nearly five months after the first use of gas at Ypres in any event. Nor was he in the Cambridgeshire regiment - he was a Second Lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion of the South Lancashire Regiment.
Quote: Arthur Eddington: "If the cloud breaks quarter past two tomorrow, we look up into the heavens, take photographs of the eclipse, we will be scientists at our work. We'll be looking at the poetry of existence. And if Einstein's right, the Universe will never look the same again." Anachronism: In one scene, Einstein walks past a number of flags showing Germany's colors black, red and gold. This flag was not introduced until 1919. The flags at the beginning of WWI would have shown the colors black, white and red in horizontal stripes.

Beowulf. 2007 (motion capture computer-animated fantasy), Starring
The cast members of Beowulf were filmed on a motion capture stage. They were altered on screen using computer-generated imagery, but their animated counterparts bear much resemblance to themselves.

The title character, Beowulf, is portrayed by Ray Winstone. Zemeckis cast Winstone after seeing his performance as the title character of the 2003 ITV serial Henry VIII.[1] On the topic of the original poem, Winstone commented during an interview, "I had the beauty of not reading the book, which I understand portrays Beowulf as a very one-dimensional kind of character; a hero and a warrior and that was it. I didn't have any of that baggage to bring with me."[2] Winstone enjoyed working with motion capture, stating that "You were allowed to go, like theater, where you carry a scene on and you become engrossed within the scene. I loved the speed of it. There was no time to sit around. You actually cracked on with a scene and your energy levels were kept up. There was no time to actually sit around and lose your concentration. So, for me, I actually really, really enjoyed this experience." Unlike some of his castmates, Winstone's animated counterpart bears little resemblance to the actor who was in his early 50s when he filmed the role; Winstone noted that his computer-generated counterpart resembled himself at the age of eighteen, although the filmmakers did not have a photo for reference.[3] Winstone also played a dwarf performer, and the "Golden Man"/Dragon.[2]
The antagonists Grendel and Grendel's mother are portrayed by Crispin Glover and Angelina Jolie, respectively. Glover had previously worked with Zemeckis in Back to the Future, when he portrayed George McFly. Zemeckis had found Glover tiresome on set, because of his lack of understanding of shooting a film, but realized this would not be a problem as on a motion capture film he could choose his angles later.[4] Glover's dialogue was entirely in Old English.[3] Jolie had wanted to work with Zemeckis, and had read the poem years before but could not remember it well until she read the script and was able to recall basic themes. The actress recounted her first impression of her character's appearance by saying "...I was told I was going to be a lizard. Then I was brought into a room with Bob, and a bunch of pictures and examples, and he showed me this picture of a woman half painted gold, and then a lizard. And, I’ve got kids and I thought 'That's great. That's so bizarre. I'm going to be this crazy reptilian person and creature.'" Jolie filmed her role over two days when she was three months pregnant. She was startled by the character's nude human form, stating that for an animated film "I was really surprised that I felt that exposed."[3]
King Hrothgar is portrayed by Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins noted in an interview that since Zemeckis is an American, he wasn't certain what accent Hopkins should use for the role of Hrothgar. Hopkins told him, "Well, Welsh would be my closest because that's where I come from." It was also his first time working with motion capture technology. Hopkins noted, "I didn't know what was expected. It was explained to me, I'm not stupid, but I still don't get the idea of how it works. I have no idea [...] you don't have sets, so it is like being in a Brecht play, you know, with just bare bones and you have nothing else." When asked if he had to read the original poem of Beowulf in school, Hopkins replied: "No, I was hopeless at school. I couldn't read anything. I mean I could read, but I was so inattentive. I was one of those poor kids, you know, who was just very slow, didn't know what they were talking about... So I tried to get around to reading Beowulf just before I did this movie, and it was a good modern translation. It was Trevor Griffiths, I’m not sure, but I couldn't hack it, and I tend to like to just go with the script if it's a good script."[5]
Unferth is portrayed by John Malkovich. Malkovich became involved in the project because one of his friends, who had worked with Zemeckis, "spoke very highly of him. I had always found him a very interesting and innovative filmmaker. I liked the script very much and I liked the group involved and the process interested me a great deal also." He found the experience of working with motion capture to be similar to his experiences working in the theater. He also found the process intriguing: "Say you do a normal day of filmmaking. Sometimes that’s 1/8 of a page, sometimes it’s 3/8th of a page, normally let’s say it’s 2½ pages, maybe 3. Now it’s probably a little more than it used to be but not always. So you may be acting for a total of 20 minutes a day. In this, you act the entire day all the time except for the tiny amount of time it takes them to sort of coordinate the computer information, let’s say, and make sure that the computers are reading the data and that you’re transmitting the data. It interests me on that level because I’m a professional actor so I’d just as soon act as sit around." Malkovich also recalled that he studied the original poem in high school, and that “I think we got smacked if we couldn’t recite a certain number of stanzas. It was in the Old English class and I think my rendition was exemplary."[6]

Trivia: It is an American motion capture computer-animated fantasy film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary, inspired by the Old English epic poem of the same name. The film was created through a motion capture process similar to the technique Zemeckis used in The Polar Express. The cast includes Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, John Malkovich, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman, and Angelina Jolie. It was released in the United Kingdom and United States on November 16, 2007, and was available to view in IMAX 3D, RealD, Dolby 3D and standard 2D format.
Music: The music for Beowulf was composed by Alan Silvestri. A soundtrack was released November 20, 2007. Silvestri was largely responsible for the production of the soundtrack album, although actresses Robin Wright Penn and Idina Menzel performed several songs in the soundtrack's score. The score features many violent and foreshadowing tones intertwined with gentler, anthem-like tendencies.
Differences from the poem: One objective of Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary was to offer their own interpretation for motivations behind Grendel's behavior and for what happened when Beowulf was in the cave of Grendel's mother. They justified these choices by arguing that Beowulf acts as an unreliable narrator in the portion of the poem in which he describes his battle with Grendel's mother. These choices also helped them to better connect the third act to the second of their screenplay, which is divided in the poem by a 50-year gap.

Some of the changes made by the film as noted by scholars include:
the portrayal of Beowulf as a flawed man and a braggart
the portrayal of Hrothgar as a womanizing alcoholic
the portrayal of Unferth as a Christian
the portrayal of Grendel as a fragile child-like creature rather than savage demon monster
Beowulf's funeral
the portrayal of Grendel's mother as a beautiful seductress, more of a succubus rather, who bears Grendel as Hrothgar's child and the dragon as Beowulf's child (this is also the case in the plot of the 1999 film Beowulf, with the exception that the dragon is entirely absent there)
the fact that Beowulf becomes ruler of Denmark instead of his native Geatland.

The relationship of the dragon Fafnir to Grendel and his mother, in this version, is not explicitly stated. Fafnir could have been Grendel's mother's original mate but since her son by Beowulf is also a dragon Fafnir may have actually been her son. When Hrothgar kills Fafnir he goes on to sire Grendel. Grendel is a hideously deformed creature and this may be either a result of the immoral character of his father, Hrothgar, or because Grendel is the first half-demon offspring of his mother, and thus an imperfect creation. This latter explanation may be more reasonable as after Beowulf slays Grendel he goes on to sire the final offspring of Grendel's mother, a half demon who can take the form of a gargantuan golden dragon or of a perfectly-formed human male.

Scholars and authors have also commented on these changes. Southern Methodist University's Director of Medieval Studies Bonnie Wheeler is "convinced that the new Robert Zemeckis movie treatment sacrifices the power of the original for a plot line that propels Beowulf into seduction by Angelina Jolie—the mother of the monster he has just slain. What man doesn’t get involved with Angelina Jolie?' Wheeler asks. 'It’s a great cop-out on a great poem.' ... 'For me, the sad thing is the movie returns to…a view of the horror of woman, the monstrous female who will kill off the male,' Wheeler says. 'It seems to me you could do so much better now. And the story of Beowulf is so much more powerful.'" Other commentators pointed to the theories elucidated in John Grigsby's work Beowulf and Grendel, where Grendel's mother was linked with the ancient Germanic fertility goddess Nerthus.

This is not the first time that the theme of a relationship between Beowulf and Grendel's mother was explored. In Gaiman's 1998 collection of short stories, Smoke and Mirrors, the poem Bay Wolf is a retelling of Beowulf in a modern day setting. In this story, Beowulf as the narrator is ambiguous about what happened between Grendel's mother and himself.

In addition, philosophy professor Stephen T. Asma argues that "Zemeckis's more tender-minded film version suggests that the people who cast out Grendel are the real monsters. The monster, according to this charity paradigm, is just misunderstood rather than evil (similar to the version presented in John Gardner's novel Grendel). The blame for Grendel's violence is shifted to the humans, who sinned against him earlier and brought the vengeance upon themselves. The only real monsters, in this tradition, are pride and prejudice. In the film, Grendel is even visually altered after his injury to look like an innocent, albeit scaly, little child. In the original Beowulf, the monsters are outcasts because they're bad (just as Cain, their progenitor, was outcast because he killed his brother), but in the film Beowulf the monsters are bad because they're outcasts [...] Contrary to the original Beowulf, the new film wants us to understand and humanize our monsters."

According Ray Winstone, he and his fellow cast spent days filming in blue skintight suit, "showing up all your lumps and bumps in all the wrong places. Which can be hard when you're standing in front of Angelina Jolie, who looks stunning in hers."
Based on the oldest known written story in a language purporting to be English.
Crispin Glover portrays Grendel in a similar motion-capture method as Andy Serkis did for Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Glover and Serkis were both born of the same day; April 20 1964.
Most of the time when Grendel is talking in the movie, he is speaking Old English, the language in which the original poem was written, which in sound resembles modern Swedish. Interestingly, he never speaks in the original poem. He only sings a song of sorrow (which most people take to be a wail) when Beowulf rips off his arm.
Roger Avary had originally intended to direct. Robert Zemeckis' friend and partner Steve Bing, who produced The Polar Express (2004), purchased the script for $2 million so Zemeckis could direct
According to visual effects supervisor Jerome Chen, close to 300 cameras were used, compared with 64 to 72 for The Polar Express (2004).
Crispin Glover's first project with director Robert Zemeckis since Back to the Future (1985).
Model Rachel Bernstein (uncredited) was the body double for Angelina Jolie in the film's nude scenes.
Paramount Pictures hired Knott's Berry Farm in Orange County, California, to produce a walk-through maze based on the new Beowulf (2007) movie for its 35th Annual Halloween Haunt, held every October at the theme park. Sony Pictures The Grudge 2 (2006) was the only previous maze produced at the Haunt by a major movie studio.
The name "Beowulf" is a kenning of the Anglo-Saxon words for "Bear." A kenning is a phrase that is substituted for the usual name of a person or thing. It is typically comprised of two terms, with the first word added to the second in a way that conveys a meaning neither word has alone. Therefore "Beowulf" comes from "Bee-Wolf," meaning "Bear."
Screenwriters Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary began writing the script in May 1997.
In some areas, release prints were delivered to theaters with the fake titles 'Epic' or 'Sally'.
Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman's original plan was for Avary to direct on a modest budget. He had story-boarded several scenes and had a few European shooting locations scouted. His intended style would have been heavily influenced by Roman Polanski's Macbeth (1971) and Terry Gilliam's Jabberwocky (1977). However, studios were unable to see the potential with his intended vision, so he ended up selling the project to Zemeckis.
Screenwriters Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary met after Avary became the writer for a proposed film adaptation of Gaiman's acclaimed Sandman graphic novel. Gaiman loved his script, but the studio found it "too weird" and had Avary replaced with Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. Finding their sensibilities very compatible, the pair went on a vacation to Baja, Mexico where they sequestered themselves in their hotel room and didn't leave until they had something. That something ended up being Beowulf's first draft.
Writer Roger Avary directed a musical version of Beowulf for the Parisian stage after his debut film Killing Zoe (1993).
When Neil Gaiman co-wrote Beowulf (2007), people thought he said Baywatch (1989) instead.
When Hrothgar stands with Beowulf and discusses where he got the horn, he makes it sound as if he killed Fafnir the dragon. According to the Viking sagas (Völsunga saga) it was Sigurd (Fafnesbane) who slew the dragon Fafnir, not Hrothgar from the Beowulf epic.
Though there are no mountains in Denmark (the highest point in modern Denmark being 147 meters) in the age of the vikings Norway was also regarded as Denmark, and Norway has many mountains.
Grendel and his mother speak Old English. Even though it is the language of the original Beowulf poem, it is not the language spoken in the time and area where the action takes place (East Old Norse is more probable). However, it is "substituting" for Old Norse just as modern English is "substituting" for the Danes' language.
Quote: Beowulf: "I am Ripper... Tearer... Slasher... Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength... and Lust... and Power! I AM BEOWULF!"
Anachronisms: 1. By the time Beowulf is said to occur according to the movie, Denmark would not have converted to Christianity; conversion only happened under the reign of Harald Bluetooth (935-986AD) about 400 years later. 2. In the movie you will see a black rat, but the black rat first appeared in Denmark in the 12th century. 3. "Bards sing of Hrothgar's shame from the frozen north to the shores of Vinland." Vinland wasn't known until about the year 1000AD.

Storyline: Louisa May Alcott's autobiographical account of her life with her three sisters in Concord Mass in the 1860s. With their father fighting in the civil war, the sisters: Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth are at home with their mother - a very outspoken women for her time. The story is of how the sisters grow up, find love and find their place in the world.
Trivia: It is a Technicolor release was directed by Mervyn LeRoy and is based on Louisa May Alcott's novel of the same name. The screenplay was written by Sally Benson, Victor Heerman, Sarah Y. Mason, and Andrew Solt. The original music score was composed by Adolph Deutsch. The film also marked the American film debut of Italian actor Rossano Brazzi. Sir C. Aubrey Smith, whose acting career had spanned four decades, died in 1948; Little Women was his final film. Originally intended as a 1948 release, the premiere of Little Women was delayed until March, 1949, when it was presented as the Easter attraction at New York's Radio City Music Hall. It is believed that the reason for the delay was to make the movie part of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Silver Anniversary Celebration. Little Women became one the top grossing films of 1949. According to MGM records it earned $3,425,000 in the US and Canada, and $2,495,000 overseas resulting in a profit of $812,000.
Changes from the novel:
In this version, Beth March (Margaret O'Brien) is portrayed as being several years younger than Amy March (Elizabeth Taylor), while in the book she is a year older.

Instead of first meeting at a New Year's Eve party, Jo and Laurie first see each other when the March girls are taking their breakfast to the Hummels, and Jo visits Laurie while he is sick and confined to the house before as well.

When the girls attend the New Year's Eve party, all four of the girls go, rather than just Meg and Jo as presented in the novel. They leave early because Beth is upset over her and Amy hearing from other people that Mrs. March had plans to marry them off well, instead of Meg spraining her ankle while dancing.

Also, at the beginning of the book, when the March sisters are each given a dollar to spend at their pleasure, they decide to all buy something for their mother, or "Marmee", as she is called. In the film, while they eventually do buy presents for their mother, they initially purchase things for themselves.

In the book, Amy is pulled out of school when her teacher, Mr. Davis, strikes her across the hand with a ruler when she hides limes in her desk; but in the movie, she is in trouble for drawing pictures on her slate, and she is not struck.

Several other scenes are left out, such as the group picnic, when Amy falls through the ice after following Jo and Laurie to the river, and when Amy and Laurie fall in love in Europe.

Jo and Laurie, while they are best friends in the book, Jo even having a special nickname for him ("Teddy"), have a still somewhat close but much less intimate relationship in the film.

Filming Locations: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios - 10202 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City, California, USA.
In the scene where Beth (Margaret O'Brien) tells Jo (June Allyson) that she doesn't mind dying, June Allyson's tears were real. She was so moved by Margaret O'Brien's performance that she was sent home early, still crying, and had to pull over several times on her journey home as her tears rendered her unable to drive.

The basket that 'Margaret O'Brien' carries around in this movie is the same basket that her Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) co-star Judy Garland carried in The Wizard of Oz (1939). Both 'Oz' and 'Little Women' were produced by Mervyn LeRoy.

This version originally was to be a David O. Selznick production. Filming began in September 1946 but David O. Selznick decided he couldn't tackle a major production so soon after the ordeal of filming Duel in the Sun (1946) so he sold the property and script to MGM. The cast for the David O. Selznick version included Jennifer Jones (Jo), Diana Lynn (Amy), Bambi Linn (Beth), Rhonda Fleming (Meg), John Dall (Laurie), Anne Revere (Marmee), Charles Coburn (Laurie's grandfather), Philip Friend (Brooke) and Constance Collier (Aunt March). Only director Mervyn LeRoy and Elizabeth Patterson (Hannah) made the transition to the MGM version. Costume tests of the actors exist.

Last film of C. Aubrey Smith, released posthumously.
Sir Charles Aubrey Smith CBE (21 July 1863 – 20 December 1948), known to film-goers as C. Aubrey Smith,[1] was an England Test cricketer who became a stage and film actor, acquiring a niche as the officer-and-gentleman type, such as in the first sound version of The Prisoner of Zenda (1937). In Hollywood, he organised English actors into a cricket team, playing formal matches that much intrigued local spectators. He settled in South Africa to prospect for gold in 1888-89. While there he developed pneumonia and was wrongly pronounced dead by doctors. He married Isabella Wood in 1896. In 1933, he was on the first board of the Screen Actors Guild. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1938[15] and was knighted by King George VI in 1944[16] for services to Anglo-American amity. Smith has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Smith died from pneumonia in Beverly Hills in 1948, aged 85. Commander McBragg in the TV cartoon Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales is a parody of him. The cartoon character also appears in The Simpsons episode "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story".
"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on March 13, 1950 with June Allyson, Margaret O'Brien, Peter Lawford, and Janet Leigh reprising their film roles.

Found its genesis in a proposed Selznick-International project with Jennifer Jones and Shirley Temple with Charles Coburn as Mr. Laurie. Selznick grew disenchanted with the project and sold his rights to MGM.
Mary Astor has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6701 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood. She has been quoted as saying: "There are five stages in the life of an actor: Who's Mary Astor? Get me Mary Astor. Get me a Mary Astor type. Get me a young Mary Astor. Who's Mary Astor?"
Quote: Jo March: [repeated several times] "Christopher Columbus!" Anachronisms: 1. At the ball, one of the tunes being played is the Pig Song from Johann Strauss II's "The Gypsy Baron" (1885). 2. As Marmee is watching the girls leave to shop for Christmas presents a modern zipper is visible up the back of her dress.

It is a sequel to 2010's The Last Exorcism, and released on March 1, 2013. The film follows Nell Sweetzer as she attempts to recover from her past experiences and start her life anew. Nell then starts to realize that the demon that previously possessed her has come back for her. Unlike its predecessor, it is not presented in a found footage format. 2. Principal photography mostly took place in New Orleans, Louisiana. Not screened in advance for critics. The film was widely panned by critics and audiences. 3. When Nell is cleaning hotel rooms, a picture of an owl with long legs can be seen on the wall.

Story: The story centers on two brothers: Honoré Butera, working for Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines, and Augustin Muganza, a captain in the Rwandan army (who was married to a Tutsi woman, Jeanne, and had three children with her: Anne-Marie, Yves-André, and Marcus), who bear witness to the killing of close to 800,000 people in 100 days while becoming divided by politics and losing some of their own family. The film depicts the attitudes and circumstances leading up to the outbreak of brutal violence, the intertwining stories of people struggling to survive the genocide, and the aftermath as the people try to find justice and reconciliation.
Trivia: It is an historical drama television film about the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, written and directed by the Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck. The ensemble cast includes Idris Elba, Oris Erhuero, Carole Karemera, and Debra Winger.
Although this film originally aired on HBO, it was later broadcast by PBS and followed with a panel discussion by journalist Jeff Greenfield. Paul Bonerwitz is one of the speakers.
In contrast to Hotel Rwanda, which was rated PG-13 and had most of the genocide violence subtly implied rather than explicitly shown, this film was noted for its more gruesome and graphic portrayal of the violence, which gave it a TV-MA rating.

NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams (1970) (TV Series) - The news show relays the facts of the genocide in Rwanda in this movie. Featured in "Making 'Sometimes in April'" (2005) (TV Movie). Quotes: 1. Marcus: "So when I grow up, my I.D. card will say 'Hutu'?" Augustin: "Yes. But one day, I hope that it will just say 'Rwandan'." 2. Augustin: "Yes, is April again... Every year in April the raining season starts. And every year, every day in April... The haunting emptiness descends over our hearts. Every year in April, i remember how quickly life ends. Every year, i remember how lucky i should feel to be alive. Every year in April... I remember." 3. 'Hutsi' Journalist: "These rebels, are they Tutu or Hutsi?" Prudence Bushnell: [Frustrated at his ignorance] "Hutu and Tutsi!" 'Hutsi' Journalist: "Which ones are the good guys?"
