About the movie: The machine is dead

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Automatic (2001)?
a.		This film, which was begun under the SAG "Experimental" contract, was never finished because its leading man kept a running list of SAG violations and eventually filed a formal complaint. The entire production was then shut down. All that remains is an extended trailer.
b.		Spencer Breslin: one of Pams students
c.		Mariska Hargitays film debut.
d.		A poster in the background of one scene displays "Volcanic eruptions on Mars". This is an inside joke to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 2 comic in which the League battle the Martians from H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds". This is also a hint of a possible sequel to the film.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Automatic (2001)?
a.		Brooke Lewis wore a hairpiece for the black and white flashback sequences.
b.		The large block of swirling pink and white behind character Warren Henley seen briefly but clearly in one of the scenes is actually the only surviving "giant fat soap" prop from Fight Club.
c.		Since the three lenses of the Cinerama camera sat at angles to each other on the camera itself, it was very problematic for actors to film a scene as they would in front of a single-lensed camera. When their images were projected onto the three panels of the Cinerama screen, it would appear as though the actors were looking either slightly up-screen or slightly down-screen, and not directly at their fellow actors. This is very evident in a few scenes in the previous Cinerama film, The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm. However, by the time this film went into production, this problem was solved somewhat. In order to compensate for the lens angles, actors would have to look one-third of the way in and toward the camera, and pretend that they were looking at their fellow actors. Hence, when their images were projected onto the Cinerama screen, it would appear as though they were looking at each other. It was a very difficult process for actors, which is one of the reasons that three-panel Cinerama was abandoned for narrative films after this film was released.
d.		Gus Van Sant: as hotel porter.
