1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Raging Bull (1980)?

c.		Orlando Bloom originally auditioned for the part of Faramir. He was called back and subsequently cast, instead, as Legolas.
d.		Neither Director of Photography Michael Chapman nor Martin Scorsese could get the right look for the amateur LaMotta home movies that comprise the only color sequences in "Raging Bull". Both men gave in to their natural instincts for camera placement and framing, which was the antithesis of what they wanted to achieve. They solved the problem by asking Teamsters working on the set to handle the camera in order to give the 16mm film the appropriate feel of amateur home movies.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Raging Bull (1980)?
a.		John Travolta was offered the role of Paul Edgecomb but turned it down.

c.		In 1978, when Martin Scorsese was at an all-time low due to a near overdose resulting from an addiction to cocaine, Robert De Niro visited him at the hospital and told him that he had to clean himself up and make this movie about a boxer. At first, Scorsese refused (he didnt like sports movies anyway), but due to De Niros persistence, he eventually gave in. Many claim (including Scorsese) that De Niro saved Scorseses life by getting him back into work.
d.		Cameron Crowe said in an interview, "Few people know this, but Stone Gossard is actually in Say Anything... He plays a cab driver, and Ione Skye looks at him and kind of flirts with him a little bit as theyre stuck in traffic on her way to graduation."

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Raging Bull (1980)?
a.		The filmmakers scouted the country for a stadium to use in game scenes. They needed something nondescript with a pre-WWII feel and found it in Buffalos War Memorial Stadium. The stadium, built in 1937 and demolished in 1988, had a shorter distance down the right field line than is shown in the movie. The stadium had been renovated prior to filming, which could explain the extra hundred feet displayed on the right field wall.
b.		Natalie Connors was named after producer Dylan Sellers daughter Natalie Sellers who asked for Hilary Duff to play the role. The real Natalie has a cameo in the film as well.
c.		It has been said that actors in the monster costumes would wear the head for no more than half an hour at a time, after which they would have 10-15 minute breaks in front of an air conditioner. Stunt performers would remain fully suited for hours at a time, without air conditioning.
d.		Martin Scorsese had trouble figuring out how he would cut together the scene when La Motta last fights Robinson (in particular when he is up against the ropes getting beaten).

Unhappy with the result, the producers hired Paul Schrader to restructure it, and in the course of doing research on La Motta, the writer came across an article on the relationship between Jake and his brother Joey LaMotta. Schrader incorporated the relationship into the revised screenplay, co-opting the Savage character and creating a composite of the two men in the person of Joey La Motta. That relationship became the central plot theme in the revised screenplay and one of the primary reasons for the films success.

Moore and Brannon Braga that the ending had to be re-shot. The writers considered multiple scenarios, including forcefields and tunnels, among others. They finally settled on having a bridge present that would eventually collapse and provide an action sequence with Captain Picard, Captain Kirk, and Soran.

Rick Berman remembers that original photography occurred during the summer months in 110 degree heat, and when they returned, it was September and October and only about 80 degrees.
