Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : The Great Gatsby (1949)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Great Gatsby (1949).

About the movie: In this "adaptation" of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, a Jazz Age bootlegger learns the hard way about the wages of sin.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Great Gatsby (1949)?
a.		Tyrone Power was set to star with Gene Tierney. This would have been the fourth time they appeared on screen. When Tierney was dropped from production Power dropped out.
b.		The Lion King is very similar to a story almost unknown to Western culture but one of the most beloved historical stories of the Niger Congo language family (western Africa). It is a story about one of their greatest kings - Sundiata: An Epic of Old Mali. The main character Sundiata (which, directly translated, means "the lion king") is a young prince banished from his homeland by his family after his father dies. The story tracks his overcoming of emotional and physical ailments to later return to his kingdom and battle the evil sorcerer king who has overtaken it in his absence. This is a true story (with some magical elements added) and is still told by griots (history keepers for upper-class families, aka Rafiki in the film).
c.		Frequently referred to as an entry in the "Beach Party" film series, with the relatively brief appearances of Harvey Lembeck as Eric Von Zipper and Candy Johnson as Candy supporting that, the fact that major players Annette Funicello, Jody McCrea and Don Rickles are not in their usual roles (Connie, Big Lunk and Big Bang a Martian here instead of Dolores/Dee Dee a nickname, Bonehead and Jack Fanny/Big Drag/Big Drop the man kept changing his "name" with his career in the other movies, respectively) suggests the contrary with much more strength. However similar the characterizations are, they are at least nominally different characters.
d.		Kate Jackson was asked to play Alison Parker, but turned down the part.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Great Gatsby (1949)?
a.		The severed arm crawling across the table belongs to producer Andrew Gernhard.
b.		Vin Diesel gained over 30 pounds for his role and spent two hours a day in makeup to resemble DiNorscio.
c.		When they started to film the "Puttin on the Ritz" scene, no one was sure what the creature should say. The first time out of the gate, however, Peter Boyle came up with a strangled version of "Puiinin on da reeez!"
d.		Howard Da Silva also appeared in the 1974 film version of The Great Gatsby as the gangster Meyer Wolfsheim.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Great Gatsby (1949)?
a.		The Broadway production of "The Great Gatsby" by Owen Davis based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald opened at the Ambassador Theater on February 2, 1926, ran for 112 performances and directed by future movie director George Cukor.
b.		The film is dedicated In Memory of Dodi Fayed, the son of executive producer Mohamed Al-Fayed. The younger Al-Fayed was executive producer of Hook.
c.		Warren Beatty was originally cast as the president. Paul Newman was cast when Beatty dropped out, but then left the project over the violence concerns. Michael Keaton was also considered.
d.		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.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Great Gatsby (1949)?
a.		Michael Angarano auditioned for the role of young Anakin, and was one of the three finalists along with Jake Lloyd, who won the role.
b.		44 minutes into the film, when Weehawk falls into a chasm but urges Avatar to go on, Avatar appears to mutter a spell: "Morrow crinkle frizetta." This is a reference to fantasy illustrators Gray Morrow, Frank Frazetta and Franks best friend, Roy Krekel.
c.		One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. However, because of legal complications, this particular title was not included in the original television package and may not have ever been televised, at least not until many years afterward.
d.		Tuesday Weld was originally offered the role of Linda Marolla but turned it down.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Great Gatsby (1949)?
a.		Gene Tierney was set to play Daisy but deemed to beautiful for the role.
b.		During the filming, Bruce Campbell had Sam Raimis 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 gutted and substituted it for the "stunt car" in the chase sequence, but Raimi noticed before the scene was filmed and had the car restored.
c.		The films writer, director, and some cast members attended the New York City 2600 meeting, a monthly hangout of the local hacker community, to observe and talk with real-life hackers.
d.		According to their basketball instructors, Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson reached the skill level to be able to start for an NCAA Division III team.
