tourmalineOriginally from karaokegal, last year (see Movie Trivia 1 and Movie Trivia 2).
1.) Look up ten of your favorite films on IMDB.
2.) Go to "trivia" and pick out the most interesting fact about each film.
3.) Copy + paste!
1. The Simpsons Movie
Twentieth Century Fox registered the internet domain SIMPSONSMOVIE.COM on 22 April 1997, nine years before the movie finally was green lighted.
2. Four Weddings And A Funeral
In a deleted scene we find out that Charles, Matthew and Fiona were at university together, Gareth was a lecturer until he released a paper entitled "King Lear: Grandpa goes gaga" and Scarlett was found under Charles' kitchen table after a party and has lived there ever since.
3. Notting Hill
The shots in the lobby of the Ritz were actually filmed at the Ritz, but between 2AM and 4AM so as not to be affected by the real guests.
4. The Krays
There was a gap in between the houses in Caradoc Street so they built a false front for the 1930s; put a load of rubble in the road to look as though it had been bombed for the 1940s; and then put up corrugated iron for the 1960s.
5. Hamlet (1996)
Robin Williams and Billy Crystal were not allowed to be on the set at the same time during filming, for fear they would crack up the cast and crew, and cause major production delays.
6. Dead Again
The number on Roman's prison uniform, 25101415, stands for "25 October 1415", the date of the Battle of Agincourt, fought by Henry V, subject of director Kenneth Branagh's previous film, Henry V (1989). Branagh's birthday (December 10) is shown on the first newspaper clipping in the opening sequence.
7. Maybe Baby
Hugh Laurie directed some scenes when Ben Elton had to go to hospital for the birth of his children. Elton and his wife had been undergoing IVF treatment.
8. Much Ado About Nothing
The entire final scene showing the whole cast singing and dancing to "Hey Nonny Nonny" is a single shot.
9. Mrs Brown
During filming, Gerard Butler saved a young boy from drowning in the river Tay and received a "Certificate Of Bravery" from The Royal Humane Society.
10. Rita, Sue And Bob Too!
Maureen Long, who had an unspoken role in the film, was one of the few women to be attacked by the Yorkshire Ripper and survive.
