None of the following is true.
During the shoot of The Shining, a poor junior production assistant had
to type the phrase 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy' on over
five hundred sheets of paper, what is less known is that he made a typo
on the three hundred and fourteenth sheet and Kubrik made him do it all
over again.
Forrest Whitaker only agreed to appear in Battlefield Earth on the
condition that his name was not on the poster.
During the making of the film Twelve Monkeys Terry Gilliam famously
spent hours tutoring Bruce Willis in a more naturalistic acting style,
eliminating the smirks and sideways glances at the camera that had made
him such a star in the Die Hard films. What is less know is that the
only direction he ever gave to Brad Pitt was three words: 'you're mad
Brad.'
The Incredibles is the only movie starring Samuel L Jackson where he
does not say 'Motherfucker'.
When she signed up to do Resident Evil, actress Milla Jovovich actually
thought the director was Paul Thomas Anderson, the director of Boogie
Nights, and not Paul WS Anderson, the director of Mortal Kombat.
Keanu Reeves has never read the scripts to any of the Matrix films, and
had to be told the lines every day he turned up on set.
James Cameron has killed and injured more stuntmen than any other film
director.
The common disclaimer in the end credits of films 'No animals were
harmed in the making of this motion picture' does not legally apply to
shellfish, this is why, whenever you see movies featuring this phrase
and any form of cooking scene, it is always shellfish that are being
cooked.
Film director Roman Polanski has slept with every single one of his
leading ladies.
