a.		Paul Mazursky, the director, was taking a cab to meet the casting director and his cab driver talked so much he thought she might be good in the movie.

b.		Neveldine/Taylor wanted to make the film in 3-D but it was scrapped due to budget limitations.

Harron, whom Griffith was grooming as a film director, was reportedly despondent over losing the leading man roles in both this film and Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl to Richard Barthelmess, formerly an juvenile lead in Dorothy Gish comedies. Although according to Lillian Gish, Harron on his deathbed denied that he had attempted suicide, it is still unclear whether the shooting was a deliberate suicide attempt or accidental.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gamer (2009)?
a.		Keith David, who plays the detective in the interrogation scene with Logan Lerman also did the voice over for the "Slayers" commercial.
b.		"Fall in Love" (music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Mack Gordon), sung by Gloria DeHaven and Phil Silvers, was cut from this film. The duet is heard on the Rhino Handmade CD of the soundtrack, released together with the score of Judy Garlands In the Good Old Summertime.
c.		Austin filming for the movie occurred in May/June of 2000. Many Austin locations were used in the film such as the Dog and Duck Pub (where Gracie eats ice cream) and the Cue Lounge (featured in the botched mission at the beginning of the film) among others. The Starbucks scene was shot in the middle of downtown Austin, just blocks from the Texas State Capital. To make the Austin streets appear more "New York like", brown plastic bags of fake trash were put around the buildings while fake NYC taxi cabs cruised the streets. Although a stunt driver was used while filming shots where Gracie tears across the intersection and parks wildly in front of the Starbucks, Sandra Bullock did some of her own stunt driving in several takes, skills she had learned while making Speed. The scenes were filmed on location at the Starbucks located at One American Center on 6th and Congress. The whole Starbucks scene was filmed over an entire day before wrapping around 6-7 p.m. The car scene alone took at least 5-7 takes and most of the afternoon in the hot Texas summer sun. To combat the heat, an assistant held an umbrella over Bullock as she got in and out of the car between shots. The interior scene only took a few hours in the late afternoon, early evening to shoot.
d.		The majority of cast rehearsals took place at Luke Eberls apartment in Toluca Lake, California. Rehearsals often lasted until 5 a.m.
