b.		The original trailer for the film had "November 22, 1963" appearing in large letters on the screen. As Leary talked about how he was going to kill the president, a clock ticked away in the background, changing the "1963" to "1993", followed by a slam-cut to Horrigan saying "Thats not going to happen". Bad preview reaction caused this trailer to be dropped.

She would start to follow it with her gaze, and not look at the actors. Leonard Nimoy and other crew members had to start hiding the microphone and disguising it from the babys view.

She brought a wagon full of DVDs of this film for the 300 attendees and asked them to watch or re-watch the movie. If in fact the audience decided she was NOT the Worst Actress and changed their minds, Bullock promised to come back to the Razzies next year, turn back in her award and buy drinks for everybody.
c.		The party scene at the beginning of the movie was going to start differently. One of the extras was going to be on the phone in the lobby, hang up, and then be followed into the party. The extra was unable to get the shot right, and so that entry was scrapped.

Other possible Satines included Renée Zellweger, Natalie Jackson Mendoza, Sharleen Spiteri, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Tim Wheeler, of the rock band Ash, auditioned for the lead role of Christian, which led him to write the track "Orpheus". Courtney Love auditioned for Satine, and allowed Baz Luhrmann to use Nirvanas "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in the opening sequence, a rare case of allowing her late husband Kurt Cobains work to be used in film or TV.

He claimed he would not be returning to Tunisia, and if he needed another shot, he wouldnt get it. Since Ewan McGregor did not participate in the Tunisia shoot, a wide shot of a double was filmed handing over a doll to Owen Lars (Joel Edgerton). However, during production of "Revenge of the Sith" it was decided that Obi-Wan should hand the infant to Beru (Bonnie Piesse) instead. All three actors were filmed separately in front of a green-screen and the original shot was ultimately not used.

d.		When Jacks mother comes to visit Mary, you can see in the background what appears to be a little boy standing in a doorway. There is a rumor that this is the ghost of a little boy who died in the apartment in which the film was shot. This rumour is false, as the interiors were all shot on a sound stage in a movie studio. The "ghost" is actually a cardboard cut-out of Jack wearing a tuxedo. This prop appears later in the film, when Marys mother comes to collect her.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: 3 Men and a Baby (1987)?
a.		The role of Pettigrew was offered to a number of name actors but Sydney Pollack only decided to play the role because it was impossible to get a name actor he wanted .

c.		Laurence Fishburne filmed for just 2 days.
d.		One of the only scenes in the movie in which Neil Mccauley (Robert De Niro) smiles is when he sees Donald Breedan (Dennis Haysbert) in the diners kitchen while working as a short order cook.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: 3 Men and a Baby (1987)?
a.		John Frankenheimer was able to secure permission from Goodyear to use its blimp in the film because of his relationship with the companys public relations department from making Grand Prix.

In addition, the pilot was changed from a Goodyear employee to a freelance pilot only hired by Goodyear. Miami Dolphins owner Joe Robbie got the NFL to allow extensive filming at a real Super Bowl game and the use of copyrighted team names and logos. Additional footage of the stampede at the game was shot at the Orange Bowl after the game with thousands of extras provided for free by The United Way. In exchange for providing the extras, Frankenheimer agreed to direct a short film for them with star Robert Shaw narrating it.
b.		Local legend has it that John Wilkes Booth evaded capture in Virginia after his assassination of Abraham Lincoln and was the caretaker on the ranch property. He told the property owners his true identity as he was dying. They buried him in an unmarked grave next to the oak tree which Mandy Lane walks by to see Garth.
c.		The story makes constant reference to Shakespeares play "The Tempest". In "The Tempest" Miranda is Prosperos daughter. Fred Clegg also refers to himself as "Ferdinand", or "Ferdie" to disguise his identity. Ferdinand is the name of Alonsos son in the play.

d.		The 1994 restoration by Robert A. Harris used a variety of methods to return the film to its original condition. The opening credits were digitally re-created using pieces of surviving frames. A few shots were digitally restored by scanning the 65mm negative or separation masters and output back to VistaVision (and enlarged back to 65mm). Some shots were simply re-composited via separation masters. Despite this, most of the film was able to be restored directly from the camera negative. For the sound, only the six-track magnetic print master (used to add sound to 70mm prints) survived. This was digitally restored and used to create a new six-track mix (faithful to the original version), as well as new Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 mixes for modern sound systems.
