Pretty Woman
The famous poster of Julia Roberts standing next to Richard Gere. She’s using a body double.
#Originally they were going to call the movie “3000” the amount Vivian was offered for her services.
#Edward snapping the necklace case down on Vivian's fingers like it is biting her was improvised by Richard Gere.
#The scene where Julia Roberts is laughing at the black and white comedy on TV …the director had to tickle her feet to get her to laugh.
The Matrix Reloaded
#One of the most lavish car-chases ever was designed by the Wachowski brothers for their sequel to The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded.
#The Wachowskis built, from scratch, and at a cost of $2.5m (£1.25m), a fake freeway on a disused naval base at Alameda in California. The mile-and-a-half road was fenced with a 19ft wall, made from timber and plywood, designed to look like concrete.
#The production spent 60 days in San Francisco. 48 of those days were spent filming the freeway sequence alone.
#Sean Connery was originally picked to play The Architect, but turned it down because he couldn’t understand the concept of the movie.
#Only a few of the Smith clones were actually played by Hugo Weaving. Open casting calls for males with similar body shapes and structures took place, and Weaving’s head was superimposed on them later.
#The Keymaker, while explaining how Neo will reach the Architect, says they will have to knock out 27 blocks of power and they will have exactly 314 seconds before the power begins to reroute. In the Bible, the 27th book of the New Testament (Revelation) chapter 3, verse 14 speaks of being a witness to the source of creation (which in the Matrix is the Architect).
HALLOWEEN
#The original title of the movie wasn't "Halloween."
#Director John Carpenter originally intended to call his movie “The Babysitter Murders,” but producer Irwin Yablans suggested that the story may be more significant if it were based around a specific holiday, so the title was changed to Halloween. Carpenter and co-screenwriter Debra Hill wrote the original script in only 10 days.
THE SCRIPT DIDN'T CALL FOR A SPECIFIC KIND OF MASK.
#The mask for Michael Myers was only described as having “the pale, neutral features of a man,” and for the movie the design was boiled down to two options—both were cheap latex masks painted white and bought for under $2 apiece at local toy stores by production designer Tommy Lee Wallace. One was a replica mask of a clown character called “Weary Willie” popularized by actor Emmett Kelly, and the other was a stretched out Captain Kirk mask from Star Trek. Carpenter chose the whitewashed Kirk mask because of its eerily blank stare that fit perfectly with the Myers character.
Carpenter filmed new scenes after-the-fact.
#To fill a two-hour time slot needed for television broadcasts of Halloween, Carpenter filmed additional scenes during the production of Halloween II (which Carpenter Co-wrote and co-produced, but did not direct) that primarily featured Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis. The new scenes include Dr. Loomis at a hearing to review young Michael’s incarceration at the sanitarium and confronting a young Michael in his room, Loomis discovering Michael has escaped and scrawled the word “Sister” on his door, and a concerned Laurie asking her friend Lynda about the man she keeps seeing around their neighborhood.
#In the original film, Michael Myers is officially credited as “The Shape,” and is never referred to as Michael Myers anywhere in the entire movie. In fact, the only time his name is spoken is at the beginning when his father discovers he has killed his sister and exclaims, “Michael!?”
