1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Minority Report (2002)?
a.		The "Platinum Series" DVD of Se7en by New Line is mastered from a new HDTV transfer which was made directly from the camera negative. This required that the whole film had to be re-graded digitally, applying color and contrast correction to every shot under the directors supervision. The resulting HDTV master is now the official master of the film. The digital corrections are quite extensive in some shots as the DVD supplements demonstrate in detail.
b.		Meryl Streep shot her scenes for Manhattan during breaks in filming.
c.		The adaptation of short story "The Minority Report" by Philip K. Dick was originally planned as a sequel to Total Recall by writers Ronald Shusett and Gary Goldman (later joined by Robert Goethals). The setting was changed to Mars with the Precogs being people mutated by the Martian atmosphere, as established in the first film. The main character was also changed to Douglas Quaid, the man played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The project eventually fell apart but the writers, who still owned the rights to the original story, rewrote the script, removing the elements from "Total Recall". This script was eventually tossed out when writer Jon Cohen was hired in 1997 to start the project over from scratch. The only original element from the early script which made it to the final film is the sequence in the car factory, an idea that Steven Spielberg loved.

After the delay, Javier Bardem has stated in interviews that he was offered the part of Witwer, but turned it down because he "didnt want to just run around chasing Tom Cruise". This led to the casting of Colin Farrell.
