3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Greenwich Village (1944)?
a.
Writer/Director
Billy Ray
first came to this project when HBO, which had optioned a
Buzz Bissinger
article about the
Stephen Glass
debacle, hired Ray to adapt the article into a screenplay. While he was writing it, certain HBO executives were fired. By the time he handed in the script, Ray says in an interview, there was a new administration at HBO who "hadnt ordered the script and didnt particularly care about it. So it sat for two years." As he continued writing scripts, he eventually decided "it was time to find out if I was grown up enough to be a director." And he thought that his adaptation of the Bissinger article would be "a good launching point for me because I knew there was nothing in there that was so craft-dependent that my lack of experience was going to hang me." Ray recounts these events in
The Dialogue: An Interview with Screenwriter Billy Ray
.
b.

Leon Shamroy

Wilson

Harry Jackson

Charles G. Clarke

c.
The original screenplay had a different ending in which Veronica kills J.D. by shooting him and then straps the bomb (a much larger and more complicated piece of equipment, described as being "a cylinder as large as a television set") to herself, blowing up as J.D. does in the final ending. What is placed in the final ending as JDs boiler-room speech about "imagine I blew up the school, imagine I blew up all the schools" is contained in a suicide note found in Veronicas locker by Heather McNamara and Betty Finn. The movie ends with an eerie prom sequence set in Heaven, tying into JDs assertion that the only place everyone will truly get along is in Heaven. The prom begins with students dancing within their social cliques, then switching partners in odd pairings like metalheads dancing with Heathers and one of the murdered jocks getting his prom picture taken with a tipped cow; the punch being served is the drain cleaner used in the first murder scene, and "Dumptruck" is singing onstage as the entertainment for the evening. This was intended to be shot but the studio thought it was too dark for the target teenage crowd and opted for a lighter ending.
d.
Director
Richard Linklater
intended to film the
Philip K. Dick
novel "Ubik," but decided to film Dicks "A Scanner Darkly" instead after
Wiley Wiggins
, who played the main character in Linklaters film
Waking Life
, suggested it to him.
