b.		At various points Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Andy Garcia were all previously attached to star; Stephen Frears to direct.
c.		Anjelica Huston lived with Jack Nicholson during the time of the shooting.

d.		While Danny Kaye worked hard to be able to accurately fake playing cornet, it was the real Red Nichols who provided all of the cornet playing for Kaye in this movie.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Shining (1980)?
a.		The title is derived from the saying "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle", commonly attributed to Gloria Steinem, who herself credited Irina Dunn. Dunn may have adapted the aphorism "A man without faith is like a fish without a bicycle", by Charles S. Harris, published in the Swarthmore Phoenix at Swarthmore College in the US on April 7, 1958. (Yale Book of Quotations)
b.		After seeing the film, Gary Cooper said it was "so phony, nobody believes in it." Ironically, Cooper had been a visitor to the set since he was filming The Hanging Tree nearby. "Rio Bravo" is considered to be John Wayne and Howard Hawks reply to Gary Coopers own film "High Noon" because neither Wayne or Hawks thought a real lawman would want or need to ask for help in handling a problem like Coopers character did in that film.
c.		During the DVD commentary of the film, Robert Altman pays a tribute to Tommy Thompson, who was the assistant director on almost all of Altmans films, and who had dropped dead on the set of Dr T and the Women a week before Altman did the commentary.
d.		There were so many changes to the script during shooting that Jack Nicholson claimed he stopped reading it. He would read only the new pages that were given to him each day.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Shining (1980)?
a.		This movie spoils the ending of The Sixth Sense
b.		Fabrizio, Michaels Sicilian bodyguard who planted the bomb that killed Appolonia, was supposed to be found by Michael at a pizza parlor he opens in America and subsequently blown away with a shotgun at the end of the movie as per "The Godfather" novel. This scene was filmed but ultimately cut because the makeup artists plastered Angelo Infanti with so much fake blood that the scene looked ridiculous. Photos of Michael Corleone with a hat, shotgun blazing, appeared in many magazines, despite the scenes eventual excision. Fabrizios death was filmed again, for The Godfather: Part II, this time by car bomb (as the ultimate form of poetic justice), but that scene was also deleted from the theatrical version. It was restored in The Godfather: A Novel for Television.
c.		During the filming of the cemetery sequence, shot on two separate days, an unexpected accident caused a fast change of script. The car driven by Barbara and Johnny into the cemetery was actually owned by the mother of Russell Streiner. Unfortunately, sometime between the two filming sequences, someone ran into the car and put a dent in it that would easily be visible on camera. George A. Romero rewrote the scene so the car would come to a stop by crashing into a tree.
d.		For the scene in which Jack breaks down the bathroom door, the props department built a door that could be easily broken. However, Jack Nicholson had worked as a volunteer fire marshal and tore it apart far too easily. The props department were then forced to build a stronger door.

c.		Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind wrote and performed a full electronic score for the film, but Stanley Kubrick discarded most of it and used a soundtrack of mostly classical music. Only the adaptation of Hector Berliozs "Symphonie Fantastique" during the opening credits, the music during the familys drive to the hotel, and a few other brief moments (such as Hallorans plane trip) survive in the final version. Wendy Carlos once noted that shed like to see the original score released on CD, but there were too many legal snags at the time. As of 2005, Carlos score for the film has been remastered, and is a part of "Rediscovering Lost Scores Volumes 1 and 2".

Kings script was a much more literal adaptation of the novel, a much more traditional horror film than the film Kubrick would ultimately make.
