2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Brainstorm (1983)?
a.		The tape used in the tape machines is a variety of decorative tape made by 3M. 3M only sold it in four-inch widths, so it had to be slit by hand to two-inch widths to fit in the tape machines. When filmed, they were astounded at how gaudy it looked, so to dampen its brightness, the prop crew wound the tape back and forth across a sander to dull its brilliance. "One of those things that actually looked a lot better on film when we finished with it," Douglas Trumbull commented.

b.		When MAX, the ship computer, is describing the animals he has on board, he said "That is a Feenastarus from the Pixar Elliptic". This was five years before Pixar, a fledgling special effects computer group at the time, teamed up with Disney, who produced this film.
c.		Based on the true story of Anneliese Michel, a young German woman who suffered a similar fate to the fictional Emily Rose in the 1970s, and "The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel", an account of the subsequent court case by expert witness Felicitas D. Goodman, an anthropologist called in as an expert on possession. Michels parents and the two priests who performed her exorcism were prosecuted, and ultimately jailed for manslaughter. The most significant differences are that Michel periodically fasted for several months as part of her exorcism and remained on medication until her death, while the fictional Rose refused to eat due to her delusions and was taken off her medication by her carers. The story was heavily adapted for cinematic purposes.
d.		Douglas Trumbull originally wanted to film this movie in "Showscan", a 60-frame-per-second widescreen process hed developed, but the costs of retrofitting theaters to show it proved prohibitive. If the "Showscan" version had been made, each non-"Brainstorm" frame would have been printed twice to create a 30-frame-per-second "normal" film rate to compliment the cropped, non-widescreen shots. The intent was to create an experience similar to what the onscreen characters were "viewing."

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Brainstorm (1983)?
a.		Francis Ford Coppola considered bringing Marlon Brando back to play Vito Corleone as a young man, convinced that he could play at any age. As he worked on the script, though, he remembered Robert De Niros exceptional audition for The Godfather and cast him without offering the part to Brando.

c.		In one scene Rob Dier talks to Trish about his sister Sandra. Sandra Dier was one of Jasons victims in Friday the 13th Part 2.
d.		When Michael first shows the machine to his son Chris, he calls it "The Hat." However in the script (final revised draft 9-21-81) he called it a "super-conducting phased field neural discharge sensor array."

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Brainstorm (1983)?
a.		One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since.
b.		This is essentially an adult rethink of "Firelight", a movie that Steven Spielberg made when an adolescent. He even gave Douglas Trumbull and Vilmos Zsigmond notes that hed made at that time, for their work on "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
c.		Filming the rape scene was so difficult for the actress originally cast in the role. She quit and the part was recast to Adrienne Corri, who was said to have been furious with Stanley Kubrick for the scores of takes he required for this infamous scene, feeling it should have been done swiftly. Malcolm McDowell, however, has stated that Corri was very "game" about the brief but difficult role throughout filming.
d.		The shots of "Heaven" were done by poking a hole in a piece of sheet steel, putting a quartz bulb behind it, and a piece of very scratched plastic in front of it. The rivers of "angels" were made with high-speed, backlit footage of a dancer wearing a long costume which was twirled about on two poles.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Brainstorm (1983)?
a.		The four songs included in the film were originally intended for an M-G-M Technicolor musical version of "Huckleberry Finn" which was supposed to have been filmed in 1952, but was never made. It was supposed to have starred Dean Stockwell as Huck, William Warfield (fresh from his triumph as Joe in Show Boat) as Jim, and Gene Kelly and Danny Kaye as the two con men.
b.		The ninth of fourteen films based on Arthur Conan Doyles fictional consulting detective Sherlock Holmes starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson.
c.		During the scene of the finals of Video Armageddon, the last game used for the final, "Super Mario Bros. 3" was actually meant to be revealed in the film before the NES game was released. People were treated to see this paticular NES game for the first time when the film was first released into theaters.
d.		When actress Natalie Wood died near the end of principal photography, studio executives tried to kill the film and claim the insurance, saying that director Douglas Trumbull could not complete the film. However, Trumbulls contract gave that decision to him, and he insisted on completing the film, using a stand-in and changing camera angles for the few remaining shots of Woods character. The resulting hostility between Trumbull and the studio executives meant that this would be Trumbulls last Hollywood film. He has since devoted his efforts to effects work for IMAX films, theme park rides and the like.
