2.

Fred Zinnemann

A character from Kirk Primes past who does not appear in the film is Gary Mitchell, who debuted in Where No Man Has Gone Before (#1.3).

Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Lianna (1983)?
a.
The film caused some controversy in England when the BBFC rated it 12, going on record to say it was the most violent movie they had seen that was aimed at younger viewers. The distributor had requested a PG rating, but this was denied due to the levels of "personal violence" and the prevalent revenge theme. Many parents complained about the decision, saying how disappointed their children were at not being able to legally see the film (the 12 at this time was a legal age limit). However, when the new 12A rating was introduced in August 2002,
Spider-Man
was re-released with this new advisory rating, along with a new marketing campaign stressing that children could now go and see the film.

John Sayles
had written the screenplay for this film before writing the screenplay for his debut film, _Return of the Secaucus 7 (1980)_. Sayles failed to get funding for a film about a lesbian love affair in the 1970s, and those who felt comfortable with the material were not comfortable with the film being directed by a man. So, Sayles put the Lianna screenplay on hold until gaining success with his two first films, Return of the Secaucus 7 and
Baby Its You
.
