1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Departed (2006)?
a.		Allens first cut was deemed to be decidedly unfunny, including his death scene in a slow-mo hail of bullets, like Bonnie and Clyde. Producers Jack Rollins and Charles H. Joffe convinced him to sit with top editor Ralph Rosenblum to see what could be salvaged. The first thing Rosenblum did was cut out the gory ending, then he restructured the film completely, and generally tightened up Allens loose narrative. This effort transformed the finished film into a comedy classic. Rosenblum subsequently became Allens editor of choice on most of his next films, including Bananas, Sleeper, Love and Death and Annie Hall.
b.		Seymour Cassel has a brief role as Esteban, the friend of Steve Zissou who is eaten by the Jaguar shark. According to Roger Ebert, Cassel once told him in an interview many years previously that he had always wanted to be eaten by a shark in a movie.
c.		Martin Scorsese had originally wanted to cast a known actress, either Kate Winslet, Emily Blunt or Hilary Swank, for the part of Madolyn. But he later decided to go with someone new instead (Vera Farmiga).
d.		Paramount executives considered making this a live-action movie.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Departed (2006)?
a.		Keith David worked for a total of 12 days to complete his part in the film.
b.		This was Laurel & Hardys first comic-opera film. The movies success led to another L&H operetta film, The Bohemian Girl.
c.		Originally, Jack Nicholson turned down his role in the movie, but after a meeting with Martin Scorsese, William Monahan and Leonardo DiCaprio, he was finally convinced to play the role of Frank Costello. The main reason he joined the production was because he had previously done a few comedies, and wanted to play a villain again, and he considered the character of Costello to be the ultimate incarnation of evil.
d.		While filming footage of the Argo off the coast of Italy, shooting was interrupted when a replica of the Golden Hind sailed into view. The British television series Sir Francis Drake happened to be filming in the same location. Producer Charles H. Schneer shouted, "Get that ship out of here. Youre in the wrong century!" at the British crew, dispelling any tensions that arose from both shots being lost.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Departed (2006)?
a.		The film was shot in 2.35:1 anamorphic Panavision, which is director of photography Daniel Mindels preferred format (he shot J.J. Abrams previous film, Mission: Impossible III, in Panavision as well). To take full advantage of the format, Mindel caught as many lens flares (a photographic effect where light sparkles everywhere) in the film as possible, to create a sense of wonder that enhanced the film: "Theres something about these flares, especially in a movie that potentially could be incredibly sterile and overly controlled by CGI, thats just incredibly unpredictable and gorgeous." He would create flares by shining a flashlight or pointing a mirror at the camera lens, or using two cameras (and therefore two lighting set-ups) simultaneously.
b.		At first, the story for this movie revolved around Harpo Marx alone (he gets a story credit here) and was initially titled "Diamonds in the Basement". But the film couldnt get backing unless Groucho Marx and Chico Marx appeared as well, so they did. Harpos 650-page autobiography makes no reference to this movie intended to showcase him.
