About the movie: Ruminations on the life of Bob Dylan, where six characters embody a different aspect of the musician's life and work.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: I'm Not There. (2007)?
a.		The idea for the film came from a phone conversation between the director, Dean Wilson, and special effects artist Tom Savini.
b.		Kathleen Turner was turned down for the role as Harrys sister-in-law.
c.		Richard Linklater was attached to this project before Peter Berg but it was scraped due to budget difficulties.
d.		Adrien Brody and Colin Farrell were in talks to play two of the incarnations of Dylan in the film early in pre-production.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: I'm Not There. (2007)?
a.		To improve the chances for commercial success in West Germany (at that time already an important market for Hollywood) a Paramount executive suggested to Billy Wilder that he should make the camp guards Poles rather than Germans. Wilder, whose mother and stepfather had died in the concentration camps, furiously refused and demanded an apology from the executive. When it didnt come, Wilder did not extend his contract at Paramount
b.		The director picked the grocery store that the movie was filmed in because of its "run-down, big city" quality. When the producers paid the owner of the supermarket for permission to film there, the owners took some of that money and repainted and repaired the store, for a more "hollywood" look. The director and producers were understandably unhappy with this, since the only reason they picked the store was how it looked in the first place. The producers, after getting consent from the store, hired a crew to bring the store back to what it had looked like before. The finished product is what you see in the film.
c.		Director Todd Haynes never met Bob Dylan.
d.		The mix of real-time and greatly sped-up shots of things such as clouds, traffic, and people in subway stations at the beginning and end of the film was previously used in the non-narrative film Baraka.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: I'm Not There. (2007)?
a.		Of the 6 leads or "Dylans" in the film, only young Marcus Carl Franklin (as "Woody") can be heard on the soundtrack. However, singer/actors Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jim James and Richie Havens also both act in the movie and on the soundtrack.
b.		Mr. Huphs pencils read "Your Life Is In Our Hands".
c.		Ian Fleming received three offers for the film rights to his "Casino Royale" novel during 1954. Producer and Director Gregory Ratoff bought the rights to the novel in May 1954 for $600. It was a six month option and Ratoff took this to CBS whom produced and broadcast this one hour episode for Climax! See: Casino Royale. CBS purchased the rights to the Ian Fleming novel for $1000. John Shepridge negotiated the sale of the film and television rights in 1954. Before the sale, the "Casino Royale" novel had not been successful, and was even retitled and Americanized for its paperback issue. Fleming also needed money. Twelve months later, and after the TV screening, Ratoff bought "Casino Royale" outright in perpetuity for an additional $6000. Both sales including the option and the buy-out are considered to have been sold too cheaply and were two sales that Ian Fleming later regretted. With the money from the larger sale, Ian Fleming bought a Thunderbird car at the cost of £3000. Gregory Ratoff passed away on 14 December 1960. His widow in 1961 sold the rights to Charles K. Feldman for $75,000. Feldman would go on to make the James Bond parody, Casino Royale and it would not be made as an EON Productions film for almost another forty years.
d.		Douglas Sirk had originally wanted to film Anton Chekhovs The Shooting Party at the German UFA studio before he fled Germany in 1937. He had wanted actor Willy Birgel to play Fedor, and when he made the U.S. version he picked George Sanders because he considered Sanders a similar "type" to Birgel.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: I'm Not There. (2007)?
a.		Jack Albertson was nominated for the 1973 Tony Award (New York City) for Actor in a Drama for "The Sunshine Boys" for his portrayal of Willie Clark.
b.		Kris Kristofferson, who narrates the film, is a friend of Bob Dylan. They were both in Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid.
c.		Dane Cook, the actor that plays George, actually uses some of the lines from his stand up comedy show in the film.
d.		The title song was not written by John Williams, but rather Don Costa, with lyrics by Aaron Schröder and Wally Gold. The song "Because Theyre Young" was released by Duane Eddy and became one of the rare all-instrumental hits of the era, going to number 4 on the American charts in the summer of 1960. The combination of Duane Eddys "twang" guitar style and string orchestration was a different one for Eddy and it ironically became the biggest hit of his career. Eddys version of the title song was not the version used in the movie; an anonymous orchestra played the instrumental version over the opening credits, and James Darren sang the vocal version. Duane Eddy and the Rebels performed "Shazam" in the movie. Darren didnt hit it big as a singer until a year and a half after this movie came out, when he hit the top 10 with "Goodbye Cruel World."

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: I'm Not There. (2007)?
a.		Jack Albertson was nominated for the 1973 Tony Award (New York City) for Actor in a Drama for "The Sunshine Boys" for his portrayal of Willie Clark.
b.		Different sections of the film were inspired by different cinematic sources. The "Jude" section was inspired by 8½, the "Billy" section was inspired by the so-called "hippie westerns" of the late 60s and early 70s (such as Sam Peckinpahs films) and the "Robbie" section was inspired by the films of Jean-Luc Godard, especially Masculin féminin: 15 faits précis.
c.		There were originally 20 individual sequences (seven of them were filmed in primitive 2-strip Technicolor) using seven directors and virtually every star then on a Paramount contract.
d.		According to a December 2008 interview with Dirty Dancing screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein, the characters of Baby and Johnny were both influenced by Bergsteins own biography. Like Baby Houseman, Bergstein came from a liberal Jewish family who visited Catskills resorts during the 1960s; her father was a doctor; she was nicknamed "Baby" until she was 22 years old; and her real first name was the same as a famous woman with strong ties to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration (i.e., Eleanor Roosevelt). Like Johnny Castle, Bergstein was a skilled "dirty dancer" who learned at house parties and later became an Arthur Murray instructor.

b.		Most versions of Heavenly Desire are missing part of the Serena / Dani Williams / Eileen Welles scene.

c.		The digital effects of dropping Clint Eastwoods face into real-life footage of both George Bushs and Bill Clintons presidential rallies and of matching footage of Eastwood playing "Dirty Harry" Callahan with that of President John F. Kennedy cost $4 million.
d.		Charles Durning was going to act in this film but dropped out.

a.		In the "Jude" storyline, when Jude Quinn is revealed to have originally been Aaron Jacob Edlestein in high school, the picture shows Christian Bale although the "Dylan" in this storyline is played by Cate Blanchett.
b.		The sequel went through many titles. It was originally called "The Mask Of Zorro 2" and then that title was changed to "Zorro Unmasked" which had been the original script title by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio. After their script was not used the title went to "Zorro 2" then to "The Return Of Zorro" before Sony pictures finally settled on the title "Legend Of Zorro".
c.		This movie represented the reuniting of old Hollywood stars Pat OBrien and Myrna Loy. The two, who play Burt Reynolds parents, had previously starred together in Consolation Marriage 47 years earlier.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: I'm Not There. (2007)?

Todd Haynes needed to get approval from Bob Dylan to use his music, since (unlike in his Velvet Goldmine where David Bowie did not give his permission for his music) he felt the film would not work without it. At the encouragement of Dylans manager, Haynes wrote a one-page summary of his concept and the characters, which Dylan approved. It took another 6 years to get the film made due to funding difficulties.
