Most of the actors have a background in musicals or opera, but Driver (a skilled singer) had no experience in opera and was dubbed by Margaret Preece, a singing teacher from Solihull, UK. However, Driver did contribute the films end title song, "Learn To Be Lonely," written specifically for the film by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Book of Swords (2007)?
a.		Peter Bogdanovichs introduction to this story was through actor Sal Mineo who had given him the novel to read by then little-known Texas writer Larry McMurtry. Mineo had longed to play a part in the film adaptation but felt he was by then a little too old for any of the principal roles.
b.		There are little plays on words that have similarities to the early "Mortal Kombat" video games. The most obvious are spoken by the mysterious magical hooded monks, who also have a striking resemblance to the evil magical hooded monks in the video game "Mortal Kombat II". Both of them were also responsible for transporting characters to another realm.
c.		For many of the reshoots, original cinematographer Leon Shamroy was unavailable so Claude Renoir filled in for him.
d.		Milla Jovovichs character uses a more authentic variant of "Gun Kata", a unique blend of gunfighting and martial arts developed by director Kurt Wimmer for his previous film Equilibrium.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Book of Swords (2007)?
a.		The drinking song that Hagrid and Slughorn are singing is titled "Odo the Hero". It was written by Harry Potter author, J.K. Rowling, but only the last four verses are known.
b.		Spencer Tracy was initially reluctant to take on the part of Manuel, mainly because he had to sing in several scenes and get his hair curled. His new curly locks provided a lot of amusement to his friends and fellow actors. Joan Crawford, for instance, referred to him as Harpo (after Harpo Marx, the curly-haired Marx Brother).
c.		The film was produced by Ho-Sung Pak and Wayne Kennedy who created together with Matthew E. Chausse the film company GenOne.
d.		Title taken from the title of a song by Talking Heads.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Book of Swords (2007)?
a.		The main characters name is "LANG" which is a play on words for "Liu Kang" - the Mortal Kombat character. Both Lang and Liu Kang are "chosen" heroes. This is possibly a Mortal Kombat reference as Ho Sung Pak was very well known for his role of Liu Kang in the first two Mortal Kombat video games.
b.		Monte Hellman was originally tapped to direct the film as Quentin Tarantino was a complete unknown. However, when Tarantino sold the screenplay for True Romance for $50,000, he lobbied hard to direct the film himself. Hellman took on an executive producer role instead.
c.		At one point Benicio Del Toro was to direct the film.
d.		The first feature length animated film to be presented in IMAX.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Book of Swords (2007)?
a.		Composer Craig Safan wrote an original score for this film and was replaced at the last minute by future Academy Award winner James Horner.
b.		While clearing a section of the Normandy beach near Ponte du Hoc, the films crew unearthed a tank that had been buried in the sand since the original invasion. Mechanics cleaned it off, fixed it up and it was used in the film as part of the British tank regiment.
c.		Each actor that has appeared in a "Mortal Kombat" video game also portrays a small attribute from their Mortal Kombat alter-egos in this movie. For example: Like the "Mileena" character, Katalin Zamiar is seen dressed with a ninja mask covering her mouth and also uses two sai ninja knives. Like the "Kano" character, Richard Divisio has a shaved head and plays a criminal with a love for knives and black magic (Kano was also a member of the Black Dragon, another word parallel). Like "Johnny Cage", Dan Pesina is seen wearing very dark sunglasses indoors. His character is also hit with an uppercut punch in a style that is very reminiscent of the original Mortal Kombat games. Like "Liu Kang", Ho Sung Pak is the chosen one. He also dons a red headband for a fight scene near the end of the movie, making him look almost identical to his character in "Mortal Kombat II".
d.		Barry Sonnenfeld took issue with the producers wanting to focus on the love story between Agent J and Laura: "I learned on Wild Wild West that audiences didnt want to see Will Smith as the straight man. And until Tommy Lee Jones comes back into the movie, by definition Wills the straight man."
