Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : Star Trek (2009) - Part (13)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Star Trek (2009).

About the movie: A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star Trek (2009)?
a.		Studio records list Clarence Badger Jr. and Phyllis Cook as solists in the "Bill Bailey, Wont You Please Come Home?" number. However, that song was only sung by the Yancey family; the only soloists were Frank Morgan and Kathryn Grayson. It is possible that Morgans voice was dubbed, but not likely for Grayson. The two in question were probably in a scene which was cut. In any case, they did not appear in the movie.
b.		When Geismar checks Lenas file in the Records archive at Military Government headquarters, he discovers only a note in the folder saying the file has been "sent to Overcast." Operation Overcast was the U.S. Armys 1945 operation to bring German rocket scientists (such as Wernher Von Braun) and their families to America following the end of the war. (It was later re-named Operation Paperclip.)
c.		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.
d.		There are approximately 61 scenes in the film that feature people eating/drinking, or just food.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star Trek (2009)?
a.		Although uncredited, Gene Kelly had two incredibly talented choreography assistants. These ladies were none other than Carol Haney ("The Pajama Game") and Gwen Verdon (Broadway star of "Can-Can", "New Girl In Town", "Damn Yankees", "Redhead", "Sweet Charity" and "Chicago"). In fact, Kellys taps during the "Singin In The Rain" number were post-dubbed by Verdon and Haney. The ladies had to stand ankle-deep in a drum full of water to match the soggy on-screen action. Gene Kelly had also recommended Carol Haney for the role of Kathy Selden.
b.		One of the buildings in San Francisco near Starfleet Academy resembles the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) in Chicago.
c.		David Seltzer first wrote the script in 1979 based on his experiences frequenting comedy clubs. Howard Zieff was attached to direct. When Zieff dropped out, the project was forgotten. In 1986, Daniel Melnick found the screenplay in a Columbia Pictures vault and wanted to revive the project. It was originally intended to be a small budget film with no stars but the studio sent the script to Sally Field. When she agreed to star in and produce the film, the budget was raised and Tom Hanks was cast.
d.		According to director John Frankenheimer, the Gen. Scott character is an amalgam of Gen. Curtis LeMay and Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star Trek (2009)?
a.		The original trailer, on the laserdisc release, includes a scene with a tank rolling up to a McDonalds where enemy soldiers are eating. The scene does not appear in the final cut, and was likely removed due to a mass murder at a McDonalds in San Ysidro, CA, weeks before the film opened.
b.		According to J.J. Abrams, the difficulty of depicting the future in the film was that much of modern technology was inspired by Star Trek and made it seem outdated; therefore the production design had to be consistent with the original series, but also feel more advanced than the real world technology developed after it: "We all have the iPhone that does more than the communicator. I feel theres a certain thing that you cant really hold onto, which is kind of the kitschy quality. That must go if its going to be something that you believe is real."
c.		With this release, Batman became the first DC Comics character to have his own serial.
d.		Robert Donat made his only trip to Hollywood during the production of this film. Due mainly to his poor health, he was unable to travel to Hollywood again to film any of his other roles.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star Trek (2009)?
a.		David and Elizabeths Apartment building is really about 6 stories tall but the view from the roof (done with CGI) is one from a much taller building. We look down upon other buildings that are of a similar height.
b.		The communicator, as seen in the film, was designed by Russell Bobbitt in collaboration with the Finnish cellphone company Nokia.
c.		Whitney Ransick and Dwight H. Little turned down the chance to direct.
d.		Features over 3,000 snakes including pythons, boas, water snakes, garter snakes, rat snakes, and a 10 foot Amazon constrictor - even rare albino snakes.

Kaplan tracked down the makers of those clothes, who turned out to be based in Bali, and commissioned them to create his designs.
d.		Deborah Kerr plays Terry McKay, previously played by Irene Dunne in Love Affair, of which this film is a remake - both were directed by Leo McCarey. The year before this film was made, Kerr played Anna Leonowens in The King and I, also a role that had previously been played by Irene Dunne in the black-and-white classic Anna and the King of Siam. "The King and I" is a musical based on the same book.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star Trek (2009)?
a.		Russell Bobbitt tracked down a model of the original tricorder from Star Trek and brought it to the set, but the actors found it too large to carry for filming action scenes, so technical advisor Doug Brady redesigned it to be smaller.

According to them, Bay was nervous about approaching a high-profile relative to carry out a minor voicing role; however, Nimoy had voiced the robot Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie, and was enthusiastic about doing another Transformers film.

b.		Brian Tenenbaum, who plays one of the paramedics, was a college friend of Wes Anderson and brothers Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson at the University of Texas. His name was used for the film and family because, says Anderson, "I just like the name." Brian Tenenbaums sister is named Margot.
