1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: M (2011)?
a.		Anthony Wiethoff was originally cast for the part of Cut Troys Cuff Soldier but left the set due to disagreements with director David O. Russells scenes of torture of US soldiers.
b.		After Flying Down to Rio, Fred Astaire was reluctant to make a second movie with Ginger Rogers. He had previously been part of a dance duo with his sister, Adele Astaire, but wanted to establish himself as a solo dancer. Astaire sent a note to his agent about Rogers. "I dont mind making another picture with her, but as for this team idea, its out! Ive just managed to live down one partnership and I dont want to be bothered with any more." But when the critics praised the Astaire-Rogers pairing in "Rio," Astaire was persuaded, and he and Rogers made the second film in their partnership, _The Gay Divorcee (1934)_ (QV).
c.		After an initial phone call with the director, Dave Matthews began to compose and record songs for the movies soundtrack. Once he and the director spent more time together, this blossomed into a remarkable collaboration leading to 6 original songs written and recorded by Dave Matthews specifically for the movie, a process which traditionally takes place after the films production is completed.
d.		The three lead actors - Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder - were all Martin Scorseses first choices for the parts.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: M (2011)?
a.		After meeting with the director, Giovanni Ribisi suggested casting his friend Jason Lee for the multiple-role of the "Hippie" and called him immediately. Coincidentally, just as Giovanni was speaking to Jason, the script was unwittingly being handed to Jason by his production partner.
b.		Kenneth Branagh was originally set to return as Prof. Gilderoy Lockhart in a brief cameo. Originally, Harry was to encounter his former professor in an insane asylum while visiting Rons dad Arthur Weasley at St. Mungos. The scene was meant to establish Lockhart as irrevocably scarred from his backfired curse in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as well as the insanity of Nevilles parents after being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange. The scene was cut for pacing and budget issues, as it would have necessitated building a new set.
c.		Kitana and Mileena are not twins because Mileena has blue eyes, but Kitana are brown eyes.
d.		During production, Ghostfaces signature black robe was going to be white, to make him appear even more like a ghost. This was changed in fear of people comparing the costume to those that the Ku Klux Klan wear.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: M (2011)?
a.		Most of Audrey Hepburns singing was dubbed by Marni Nixon, despite Hepburns lengthy vocal preparation for the role. A dubber was required because Eliza Doolittles songs were not transposed down to accommodate Audrey Hepburns "low-mezzo voice" (as Marni Nixon referred to it), the way Gueneveres songs were transposed down to accommodate Vanessa Redgraves limited vocal range in Camelot (1967). Audrey Hepburn sang most of "Just You Wait", as well as the reprise to the song, herself, showcasing her ability to sing perfectly at ease when the songs were set in a reasonable tessitura. Audrey also sang one or two lines, elsewhere in the score, such as Sleep, sleep, I couldnt sleep tonight! in "I Could Have Danced All Night". Thus, the claim that Marni Nixon dubbed all of Audrey Hepburns singing (as asserted by such people as syndicated columnist Hedda Hopper), is false.
b.		The diner used was real, operational and open for business during filming. Because there were so many night scenes, the filmmakers kept the kitchen running 24/7, and often the cast would see the sunrise as they finished the days work quaffing beer.
c.		Katie Holmes was the first choice to play Max, but was forced to pass due to her commitment to Broadways All My Sons.
d.		Dragonball Evolution was one of the films that Fox Studios owned the rights to for years but hadnt green-lit production for, but due to the Writers Strike of 2007-2008 was finally pushed into production (this was also the case for The X Files: I Want to Believe).

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: M (2011)?
a.		In May 2009, it was announced that Lindsay Lohan had won the role of Max after Katie Holmes declined due to scheduling conflicts. However, in April 2010, director David Michaels revealed that Lohan had been dropped from the film. In a statement, he said: "Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and well soon be announcing a replacement."
b.		William Shatner had once been Christopher Plummers understudy in the legitimate theater.
c.		An online rumor broke out shortly after the films wide release stating that Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis took shots of Tequila before shooting their lesbian sex scene and were drunk on screen. Kunis denied the rumors shortly after saying, "I dont think we could have done that scene if we were intoxicated."
d.		The Camille Saint-Saëns segment with the yo-yo playing flamingo was originally conceived with ostriches in mind by Joe Grant, 91 year old head of story on Fantasia/2000 and the only crew member to have worked on the original Fantasia.
