2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Burlesque on Carmen (1916)?
a.		Charles Chaplins two-reel version of this film, his final release for the Essanay Company, premiered in December 1915. After Chaplin left the studio, Essanay expanded the film, adding new scenes with Ben Turpin and Wesley Ruggles as gypsies, reinserting outtakes Chaplin had discarded, and even splicing in multiple takes of scenes already included. Essanays four-reel "feature" was released in April 1916. Chaplin was furious and filed a lawsuit against his former employers, but Essanay won the case in court. Prints of Essanays version circulated for decades. In the 1990s an approximation of Chaplins original version was at long last reconstructed by Kino Video.
b.		Mickey Hays was a child who suffered from progeria, a disease that made him age rapidly. He got the part in this movie through the work of the Make A Wish Foundation, which grants the wishes of children with terminal diseases. Mickeys wish was that he could star in a real Hollywood movie, so the MAWF arranged for him to have the part of the little alien in this feature.
c.		This film was not only one of the first "sequels" ever made, it was also one of the first films to come out after its stars death - Valentino had unexpectedly passed away at the age of 31 on August 23, 1926, less than two weeks before this film went into release.
d.		Martin Sheens role in the movie as General Lee was at one time slated for William Hurt, who bailed on the project when the studio financing the film at the time went broke. Tommy Lee Jones was approached, but could not take it because his schedule was filled. Robert Duvall was the next most likely candidate, having approached the producers and done research on the role, Virginia accent and all, until Martin Sheen signed on a sudden last-minute deal.
