4.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hamlet (1996)?
a.
The title of Hamlets play-within-a-play is "The Murder of Gonzago", which may or may not have been extrapolated from an Italian prose work. However, when asked its title by Claudius, Hamlet responds by bestowing on it a new moniker, which reflects its purpose (to "catch the conscience of the King") - he calls it "The Mousetrap".
b.
The Neimoidian seen with Nute Gunray on Geonosis was originally intended to be Rune Haako. However, Runes mask was lost shortly after the first film completed shooting. The production crew gave uncredited actor David Healey the mask of Daultay Dofine instead. Although the "new" Neimoidian had no official name during filming (the character was only referred to by the crew as "Nutes friend"), he was eventually named Gilramos Libkath, after costume supervisor
Gillian Libbert
and production controller
Kathryn Ramos
. Unfortunately a mix-up in the end credits not only erroneously lists
Alan Ruscoe
in the part, but also says the Neimoidian is Lott Dod (the Trade Federation senator seen briefly in Episode I). Much confusion has surrounded whether Nutes companion should be considered Rune Haako, Gilramos Libkath, or Lott Dod. The official LucasFilm word is that its Rune Haako "for all intents and purposes," but many fans are unsatisfied with this decision based on the fact the character neither looks nor sounds anything like Rune, who is back to his old Episode I self by Episode III.
c.
Peter Fonda

Dennis Hopper

Liam Neeson
as Qui-Gon Jinn) plays a non-recurring character, and in which the top-credited character dies. Also the only film in the prequel series that does not give Obi-Wan Kenobi (
Ewan McGregor
) the top credit.
c.
Kate Winslet
didnt even audition for the role of Ophelia. Winslet had previously auditioned for the
Helena Bonham Carter
"Elizabeth" role in
Kenneth Branagh
s
Frankenstein
, and Branagh was so impressed that he offered her the role in
Hamlet
without so much as a reading. Appropriately, Carter had played Ophelia in
Hamlet
