10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Flags of Our Fathers (2006)?
a.		The language spoken by Charlize Therons character is Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa. She says, "Hello Mr Botha, can I call you back? You would never believe who just walked in here, its Eddie Flemming. Thank you, good bye."
b.		Flags of Our Fathers cost $55 million although it was originally budgeted at $80 million. In a 2006 interview Paul Haggis stated that Clint Eastwood had shot the movie in just over 50 days, or nearly half the original shooting schedule. Variety subsequently downgraded the price-tag to $55 million. The budget for the companion piece Letters from Iwo Jima was officially credited at $20 million but again, according to Variety, the actual cost was "under $70 million" for both movies combined (this would place the cost of Letters as $15 million). It is possible that WB inflated the budget as part of its campaign when it became evident that Letters had Academy Award potential (the same thing happened in 2004 with Million Dollar Baby). As of April 2007 Flags and Letters had a combined worldwide theatrical gross of $135 million, with Flags having performed, according to Variety, "very strongly" in its home video bow.
c.		Many of the recording devices used by the news crews on the Enterprise B are actually hand-held video games.
d.		At the films world premiere, the first reel of the 1926 silent version of "Beau Geste" was shown just before the entire 1939 sound version, in an effort to demonstrate how far films had advanced in thirteen years. This almost backfired because the 1939 film apparently followed the 1926 one extremely closely, and some of the first-night critics were annoyed rather than pleased at this, feeling that the 1939 version should have been more imaginative. However, this did not keep the 1939 version from becoming a smash hit and a film classic.
