5.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Spider-Man (2002)?
a.
"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on November 24, 1941 with
Ann Sothern
,
Lew Ayres
and
Maureen OSullivan
reprising their film roles.
b.
Warner Bros. would only finance the film on the condition that
Stanley Kubrick
cast a Top 10 Box Office Star (from the annual Quigley Poll of Top Money-Making Stars) in the lead.
Ryan ONeal
was the #2 Box Office Star of 1973, topped only by
Clint Eastwood
. Ironically, this was his only time in the top 10, as exhibitors - who voted the list - attributed the success of
Love Story
(one of the top grossers at the time) to ONeals co-star
Ali MacGraw
, and named her to the list in 1971. The other top 10 stars were 3.
Steve McQueen
, 4.
Burt Reynolds
, 5.
Robert Redford
, 6.
Barbra Streisand
, 7.
Paul Newman
, 8.
Charles Bronson
, 9.
John Wayne
, and 10.
Marlon Brando
. Thus, the only actors Kubrick could cast in the role and receive Warners financial backing for his decidedly noncommercial project were ONeal and Redford. The other Top 10 stars were too old or inappropriate for the role (particularly in the case of #6, who would not assay a "male" role until
Yentl
in 1983). Both ONeal and Redford were ethnically Irish, both had box office appeal, and both were young enough to play the role, though Redford was five years older than the 32-year old ONeal in 1973. At the time, ONeal was the bigger star, having also garnered a Best Actor Oscar nomination for "Love Story". However, Kubrick apparently offered the part to Redford first, but he turned it down, and thus ONeal was cast. Redfords star would soon eclipse ONeals, as he would zoom to the top of the Box Office charts the next year after the successes of
The Sting
and
The Way We Were
, clocking in at #1 in 1974, a position he also would anchor in 1975 and 1976. ONeal dropped off the Top 10 list after 1973. His 73 appearance to this day, represents his sole appearance on that premier barometer of box office success for a thespian.
c.
The World Trade Center Towers can be seen in the background of some scenes and once in the reflection of Spider-Mans eye. In addition, during the ending scene where he is swinging around the American trade building, you can see the towers in the far background slightly blurred. The makers of the film chose not to remove them digitally.
d.
Metro North Commuter Railroad changed its name several years ago and is now simply known as Metro North Railroad.

b.

: [car] The 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88, also known as The Classic, appears in the movie as Uncle Bens car.
c.
Disney had originally distributed
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
but passed on the sequel. Adam Sandler who produced the first film as the first one under his production company Happy Madison, then moved the project to Sony for distribution.
d.

7.

, and noticing how similar he looked.
b.

Heather Donahue
,
Joshua Leonard
, and
Michael C. Williams
, shot nearly all of the completed film.

Harlan Ellison
sued
James Cameron
, claiming that the film was plagiarized from the two
The Outer Limits
episodes that Ellison wrote, namely
Soldier
and
Demon with a Glass Hand
. The concept of "Skynet" could also have been borrowed from an Ellison short story called "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream." The suit was settled out of court and newer prints of the film acknowledge Ellison.
