1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shotgun Stories (2007)?
a.		The majority of the principal photography took place in 2004.
b.		Director Richard Lester was not sympathetic to the epic look that original director Richard Donner had given the original Superman, saying that he did not want to do "the David Lean thing". Imposing his own control over the Superman saga, Lester took advantage of the death of Donners cinematographer, Oscar-winner Geoffrey Unsworth, to stamp his own look on the sequel. Lester decided to scrap most of Unsworths footage, which created an epic stateliness through the use of a gliding camera and unique colors for different locations, and hired potboiler director Michael Winners cinematographer, Robert Paynter, to create a comic book-style that would evoke Supermans roots in comic books. Lester deliberately wanted to break the stylistic "American epic" mold created by Donner and, with Paynter, set out to recreate the look and feel of a comic book. For this reason, Lester did not use his own long-time collaborator, lighting cameraman David Watkin, as Watkins photographic style was too classical, and thus not adaptable to a comic book aesthetic. Working with his Lester, Paynter and his camera operator Freddie Cooper developed a different type of framing from the original, but one that was ideal for their concept of a comic book film: They replaced Unsworths gliding camera with horizontal panning and static framing to evoke comic books and comic strips, with their static frames that are crammed with people and objects. Similarly, the composition of shots the trio developed for Superman II (1980. had objects and people crammed into the frame. To further emphasize comic book composition, the action was photographed from one angle, to give the film a desired flatness. (Harkening back to the technique of the early sound era, Lesters films had always been shot with three cameras simultaneously filming the action all at one time, with two cameras for close-ups and one for the long-shot (the establishing shot). Actors do not like this technique as they do not know when their close-ups are being filmed, and must be "on" constantly, rather than saving their best takes for the close-ups. Lesters technique added to the friction on the set caused by Donners firing, with Margot Kidder particularly disliking Lester as a director.)
c.		Robert Rodriguez specifically wrote the part of Dakota for Marley Shelton after working with her on Sin City.
d.		Some scenes of Leonard Nimoy and Eric Bana required that part of their bodies be animated. Nero required extensive damage to his teeth, which was significant enough to completely replace Banas mouth in some shots. For Spock Primes first scene with Kirk, Nimoys mouth also had to be completely reanimated; the filmmakers had filmed Nimoy when he rerecorded his lines so they could rotoscope his mouth into the film, even recreating the lighting conditions, but they realized they had to digitally recreate his lips because of the bouncing light created by the camp fire.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shotgun Stories (2007)?
a.		Ray Winstone and Billy Connolly were considered for the role of Mad-Eye Moody.
b.		Even though the movie is called Shotgun Stories, only one shotgun is fired, once, throughout the film.
c.		Following the Alice Cooper scene, when Wayne and Garth are on the Waynes World set, a Ouija board can be seen in the background on the set in one frame. Cooper was once rumored to have gotten his stage name from a Ouija board.
d.		Nancy Dowd wrote the script because her brother, Ned Dowd, was a professional hockey player. He also has a part in the movie, as well as being stunt coordinator and technical advisor.
