6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: September (1987)?
a.		Allens intention was that the production should feel like a play captured on film. For that reason, he generally shot in long, uninterrupted takes with very few close-ups.

The Assistant Location Manager was called to solve this little problem - as is usual while out on locations. He confronted the snake, picked it up and after showing it around and having his picture taken with it, walked a ways off the traveled path and set it free.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: September (1987)?
a.		Musician Mark Campbell did all of Michael J. Foxs singing. Hes credited as "Marty McFly".
b.		The original score was written by Blues Brothers Band founding member Tom Scott. It was very serious and dramatic, and tested badly with audiences. So, John G. Avildsen asked his frequent collaborator Bill Conti to write a score emphasizing the comedic aspects of the film. Both scores were released in 2007 by the Varese Sarabande CD club in a limited edition.
c.		The title sequence received the "Citation of Excellence" at the 2005 ADDY Awards in the category of "Animation or Special Effects in Film/Video." Also cited by AdFed were Philip R. Garrett (I) (producer), and David Ball and Robb Dierken (I), both of Spacejunk Media us.
d.		Woody Allen decided to make the film for two main reasons. One was because he had always wanted to do a "chamber piece", a film with a small cast (there are only six principal characters, and only nine in the entire film) in a single location. The other was for the location itself, Mia Farrows Connecticut country house, which inspired Woody Allen to write the screenplay with the intention that it would be shot at the house. Unfortunately, by the time Allen finished the screenplay, it was winter and the location was unusable for a movie so firmly planted in September. The entire movie (which takes place in Vermont) was shot on a single soundstage at the Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: September (1987)?
a.		Previous thought lost, Upstream was found in 2010 stored in a New Zealand film archive. It was shipped to the U.S. for preservation, funded by original production company 20th Century Fox.
b.		Movieline Magazine reported that as of 2011, September is Woody Allens lowest-grossing movie (at only $486,484).
c.		When John Koestler is teaching his class at MIT at the beginning of the movie, the equations behind him on the blackboard are Maxwells equations of electro-magnetics. The Earths magnetosphere is what protects us from harmful solar radiation called "solar wind" by channeling these particles to the Earths magnetic poles, causing the phenomenon known as the Aurora or Northern Lights. This same solar wind, when extreme, cannot be fully mitigated by the Earths magnetic field and may cause electrical and radio communications problems. Theoretically, a very powerful solar emission, such as the one which destroys the Earth in the movie, is a very extreme case of solar wind, called a Coronal Mass Ejection. Hence, the equations on the blackboard are a subtle and clever hint of what will happen later in the movie. Additionally, the equations are, rather unusually, given in _spherical_ coordinates, with rudimentary drawings of a circle (possibly representing the Sun) and the Earth and its magnetosphere, all of which indicate that this is a deliberate and clever hint of the movie-makers. However, NASA has recently predicted that a very big solar wind would hit the Earth on the proposed "End of the Year" year of 2012, but it may cause communication problems.
d.		Shot on location, except for the bus scenes. According to Sean Penn they abandoned the idea of shooting at the real bus out of respect for Christopher and the McCandless family. Instead, they built a set in the wilderness, with an exact replica of the real bus.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: September (1987)?
a.		Due to Academy regulations, co-composer Lisa Gerrard was denied an Oscar nomination while Hans Zimmer received one.
b.		In the re-shot version, Maureen OSullivan, Charles Durning and Sam Shepard were replaced by Elaine Stritch, Denholm Elliott and Sam Waterston respectively.
c.		Chinese-born Anna May Wong desperately wanted the role of O-Lan. Being a close friend of author Pearl S. Buck helped. She tested for the role, but producer Irving Thalberg was unsatisfied. Also, since Paul Muni, a Caucasian actor, had already been cast in the lead, Thalberg knew he couldnt cast Wong as Munis wife. The Hays Code prohibited actors of different races from playing husband/wife couples on film. (This was to avoid offending white audiences in the segregated American South, where there were laws against mixed-race marriages.) Thalberg offered her the "vamp" role of Lotus, but a distraught Anna May turned it down.
d.		William Holden, John Wayne, Robert Young, and Robert Cummings were considered for the role of George Gipp, but only Dennis Morgan and Ronald Reagan tested for it, with Morgan having the edge until the last minute.
