About the movie: Happy Endings weaves multiple stories to create a witty look at love, family and the sheer unpredictablity of life itself.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Happy Endings (2005)?
a.		Maggie Gyllenhaal was not the first choice to play Jude. Gwyneth Paltrow was originally slated to play the part, but dropped out and was replaced by Jennifer Garner. After Garner left the project, Gyllenhaal was awarded the role.
b.		David Hess "Krug" from The Last House on the Left, was originally cast in a major role and recommended friend Sage Stallone for the part of "Swan". After a week of shooting, the producer chose not to label the film a remake and replaced David Hess. Stallone quit, but was under contract which forced him to complete his scenes.
c.		IMAX had to agree to Disneys terms and conditions to gain the exclusive first showings of the film. These included a limited engagement of 4 months and 50% of the box office receipts. Its for this reason that, when Fantasia/2000 had its first run, not all IMAX cinemas showed it as not all of them were prepared to accept Disneys terms. The California Science Center in Los Angeles was one such venue who refused to meet these terms so Disney built a purpose-built IMAX theatre for the 4 month run, costing them $4 million, and demolished it afterwards.
d.		An exterior model of the Lutheran Theological Seminary had to be built by the films construction crew due to the modern buildings surrounding the real one. This "fake" one is seen in the wide-range shots, and cost about $40,000 to build. The actual Lutheran Theological Seminary is only seen in one, very carefully angled shot, when Buford is writing the message to General Reynolds the night before the battle.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Happy Endings (2005)?
a.		Maggie Gyllenhaal does her own singing in the movie.
b.		The character of Andy is named for Andries "Andy" Van Dam, a Brown University Professor and computer science and animation pioneer who taught many of makers of this film.
c.		In accordance with the book, John McTiernans version of the Wendols mother was an old woman, which was filmed with veteran actress Susan Willis. When Michael Crichton took over and did the reshoots, it was decided that brutally killing off an old lady did not reflect very well on the heroes. Crichton decided after the fact to make her younger, sleeker and tougher. In the final released film, Wendols mother is played by actress Kristen Cloke (uncredited), but the final credits still list Susan Willis as the Wendols mother (although she is nowhere to be seen in the final cut).
d.		A second four letter word made it past the censors as well. In the scene where Emil and his gang capture two of the East Side Kids, several shouts are heard as they struggle to escape. As the scene first comes into view, the first shout is a very clear exclamation using a four letter word.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Happy Endings (2005)?

b.		The expanded home video version contains rare footage such as the "Sagebrush Presley" comedy skit from The Steve Allen Show and his compelling 1956 performance of a Four Aces style ballad "I Was The One", which hinted an appeal to a wider audience or another musical direction even then.
