Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)?
a.
During filming in Vancouver,
Kurt Russell
(Michael Zane) visited the nearby set of
Stargate SG-1
and met the cast. Russell starred as Colonel Jack ONeil in the original
Stargate
. His role was adopted by
Richard Dean Anderson
in the spin-off series and the characters name was changed slightly (to Colonel Jack ONeill).
b.
Kevin McClory
,
Ian Fleming
and
Jack Whittingham
collaborated on an original story and screenplay for what would have been the very first 007 film, entitled "James Bond, Secret Agent". McClory reportedly wanted
Richard Burton
to play James Bond. For whatever reasons, the movie was never made. Fleming had previously cannibalized plots prepared for two other abandoned Bond spin-off projects, a newspaper comic strip and a television series, for 007 novels, and similarly turned this one into his novel "Thunderball". However, in this case his right to do so was not so clear. When
Harry Saltzman
bought the film rights to the Bond novels from Fleming and went into partnership with
Albert R. Broccoli
, McClory initiated legal action. Although
Thunderball
was a fairly faithful adaptation of the published novel, McClorys suit resulted in only the earlier screenplay being credited as source material. McClorys producer credit on that movie is possibly just another term of the settlement. The case was settled out of court.
c.
There is a subplot in which Cooper Nielson, played by
Ethan Stiefel

The fictitious website "Movie Poop Shoot" is a major plot point. Movie Poop Shoot existed as an actual website before the films release. An obvious parody of film websites, the site contained inflammatory posts toward "Bluntman and Chronic Strike Back" which were later read in the movie (including the immortal "Fuck Jay and Silent Bob, fuck them up their stupid asses"). The thread ends with Jays "You are the ones who are the ball-lickers." The false site also served as the home of the internet-only trailers for the film.
