d.		On his DVD commentary, director Michael Bay makes it very clear that he was not attempting to make a contemporary love story, but a 1940s love story; the type of story that could have been seen in films of the day. Bay claims that one of the reasons the love story plot was so derided by critics and rejected by audiences was simply because they werent able to look at it from this perspective; that they werent able to adopt the sense of innocence and carefree attitude necessary to accept it. Ben Affleck also addresses this aspect of the story on his own commentary - especially in relation to the much maligned champagne cork scene, pointing out that such a scene would be right at home in a 1940s romance film.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Terminal (2004)?
a.		The Shanghai Skirmish, set in China, was shot at the Bethlehem Steel site in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and in Long Beach, California.
b.		Although Viktor comes from the fictional country of Krakozhia, the language he speaks in the movie is Bulgarian. The written material shown (the Fodors guide and the magazine page with the jazz greats) is in bad Russian. The label on the Planters peanuts can is neither in Bulgarian nor in Russian. Viktors driving license is issued in Homel, Republic of Belarus, and has a womans name on it (written in Cyrillic) - Gulnara Gulina. It was a real license provided by a real Gulnara Gulina, a woman from Belarus who was working in American movie industry, although the license, issued in 1995, was already invalid at the time of filming. The filmmakers just added Viktor Navorskis name in English and his photo.
c.		Well out of his teens, Vince Vaughn reportedly turned down the part of Donnie due to his age. Mark Wahlberg was interested in the part, but apparently was only willing to play the part with a lisp. Jason Schwartzman was also strongly considered for Donnie, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Tim Robbins was the first choice for the role of Eddie Darko.
d.		Chuck Carter used a real, loaded, paint ball gun to shoot Paul Wesley in the leg, but the pressure was dialed down, and Paul Wesley had a fiberglass protective plate covering his leg. After shooting the scene, Chuck Carter said he had been very tempted to "accidentally" aim high and hit the unprotected part of his leg!

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Terminal (2004)?

c.		Ashton Kutcher suggested that his character be Jewish, to add another dimension to his conflict with the Christian Percy Jones. The idea was scrapped because the filmmakers wanted to focus on the issue of interracial romance rather than also looking into the interfaith issue.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Terminal (2004)?
a.		The terminal set was a near-full-size replica built in a former hangar, with three working sets of escalators, and populated by many familiar stores (e.g. Burger King, Mrs. Fields, W.H. Smith). Some of these brands were recruited by Dreamworks, while others approached the studio when word of the production got out. Many of the stores and restaurants were built by the construction crews that build actual mall and airport stores for the respective companies, and some had fully-functioning equipment (e.g. ovens, cash registers, etc). However, the inclusion of a brand on the set was not a guarantee of inclusion in the film; Dreamworks retained full control over editing, and some brands appear only briefly or not at all.
b.		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.

b.		In September 1928, Warner Bros. Pictures purchased a majority interest in First National Pictures and from that point on, all "First National" productions were actually made under Warner Bros. control, even though the two companies continued to retain separate identities until the mid-1930s, after which time "A Warner Bros.-First National Picture" was often used.
c.		Ted McGinley, David St. James and Christopher Atkins auditioned for the lead role of Saint James.
d.		Deleted scenes (included on the DVD release) include actor Bo Brinkman.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Terminal (2004)?
a.		Location filming in Vermont was hampered by heavy rainfall. Many exterior scenes were actually filmed on sets constructed in a local high school gymnasium. Much of the dialogue recorded there was inaudible due to the rainfall on the tin roof, so much post-recording was necessary.
b.		Bernie Mac was considered for a role, but had to pull out due to a scheduling conflict.
c.		"Joes Lullaby" (a.k.a the lamp theme) is inspired by the tune "Loves Roundabout" (La Ronde de lAmour), written by Louis Ducreux and Oscar Straus.
d.		To keep the films storyline a secret, the production was given the fake title "Aladdin Sane", both as a pun ("a lad insane", referencing the storyline of a mental patient pursued by a killer) and in keeping with the series tradition of using David Bowie song/album titles as fake names.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Terminal (2004)?
a.		The location for Sterling Haydens home was actually Robert Altmans home at the time.
b.		When Amelia does her makeup at the table while sitting with Viktor, she pulls out an Elizabeth Arden compact. Catherine Zeta-Jones, who played Amelia, is a spokeswoman for Elizabeth Arden cosmetics.

d.		To get the effect of Brigadoon emerging from the mist, Vincente Minnelli filmed the sets with the fog being pumped in, then reversed the shot to show the mist moving away.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Terminal (2004)?
a.		The Batgirl costume weighed 50 pounds.
b.		Inspired by the story of Merhan Nasseri, an Iranian refugee. Dreamworks reportedly paid him $250,000 for the use of his biography. In 1988, he landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport near Paris after being denied entry into England because his passport and United Nations refugee certificate had been stolen. French authorities would not let him leave the airport. He remained in Terminal One, a stateless person with nowhere else to go. He has since been granted permission to either enter France or return to his own country. He instead chooses to continue to live in the terminal and tell his story to those who will listen. Reportedly, his mental health has deteriorated over the years. When given the opportunity to live in France, he refused because the documents did not name him as "Sir, Alfred", and he claims to have forgotten his native Persian language. Reportedly, he left the terminal in August 2006 to be hospitalized for an unspecified illness.
c.		Producer Clark Spencer has revealed the story was originally placed in an isolated town in Kansas rather than on Kauai.
d.		Denzel Washingtons fifth film under Tony Scotts direction.
