50 Surprising Movie Facts You Probably Didn’t Know, As Shared On This Twitter Account (New Pics)
While it doesn’t feel this way, we only see a teeny tiny part on the big screen. Much of the big work from cast and crew, from lighters to sound engineers, costume and prop designers remains invisible. And that’s the beauty of cinema – to see the carefully staged fiction as if it was reality.
The notoriously entertaining Twitter page “Film Facts” is shedding a light on the lesser known side of the film industry. According to their description, the account is dedicated to sharing “facts about all things cinema” to its growing audience of now 279.9K followers.
Below we wrapped up some of the most intriguing film facts for you to enjoy. After you’re done, be sure to check out our previous feature with more fascinating posts about the film industry.

Lily Mae Kitty 2 years ago
yup. makes sense. Tom Cruise seems completely psycho to me. I'll still watch some of his movies, though.
We live in the era of changes. What we thought of as the film industry a few decades ago is no longer relevant today. The explosion of technology and digital platforms has changed the film business beyond recognition, further fueled by the worldwide pandemic and economic uncertainty that followed.
According to Deborah LaVine, the Dean of the School of Filmmaking, one of the quintessential shifts we see in the film industry at the moment is “a hunger right now for home entertainment that is so intense." No wonder Netflix's original programming has more than doubled since the beginning of 2020, while cinema theaters seem to have partially lost their initial appeal.

(spoiler alert) I know it has nothing to do with this movie, but I am a big Jodi Picoult fan. Her books are amazing. They made My Sister’s Keeper into a movie and I was so excited to go watch it in theaters. It was wonderful until the end. The movie took the liberty to have the opposite sister die in the end. To me, the younger sister dying was poetic and meaningful. But the movie killed off the older sister and it ruined everything the book was about, literally, the entire point of the story.
Vix Spiderthrust 2 years ago (edited)
These days where possible I always watch the film before reading the book. 99 times out of a hindred the movie will be a pale imitation or even a complete balls-up. And even in the very rare case where the film is genuinely good - like Jurassic Park - you can go on to the book knowing it will be richer, deeper and more detailed. Unless it's by Dan Brown, in which case I avoid both versions.

LaVine believes that consumers don’t have to rely on major movie studios or television networks (or even streaming services) to deliver content. And content creators have been freed from many of the formalities of the film business, with the ability to create and distribute their own work becoming ever more accessible. Social media has further accelerated this trend and it’s likely not going anywhere soon.
The aspiring filmmakers today have to be “entrepreneurial,” LaVine argues. "There are all sorts of paths available to them, and the space is ripe for audacity."

Stanley Kubrick made many disturbing movies, but at least he was compassionate enough to do everything he could (and to get the cast and crew to follow suit) to shield Danny Lloyd, a child actor, from the more grisly and traumatizing parts of the movie he was playing one of the lead roles in. Too bad he wasn’t at all compassionate toward Shelley Duvall, who was playing the heroine who saves her son and herself, ffs! (In the book D**k Halloran survives too, so I don’t know why they had to kill him off in the movie.) Kubrick mentally tortured her—-yes, I know that’s a technique to get an actor in the right mindset for a scene, but he crossed the line with his treatment of her.

There's a great old show on IFC called Dinner for Five with Jon Favreau (before he was Marvel movie famous) where he would invite 4 random actors to a restaurant and they would just have dinner together and talk about their work. It was such a great show. Sometimes you'd have all 4 actors who had worked together on something, and sometimes it was super random, like Marilyn Manson and Daryl Hannah. You got a lot of background info on movies and once he had a bunch of the actors from this movie on. And they talked about how they all had to go through the boot camp except Tom Hanks and Spielberg, who were in comfy tents and Damon because they wanted him to feel like an outsider. It was very interesting to hear the behind the scenes stuff from the movie from the actors themselves. Sometimes they drank too much and revealed more than they probably intended, lol.

War is often depicted as heroic and glorious in movies, but in reality it's just ugly and horrifying...
Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago (edited)
One of my older brothers did 2 tours in the Marines, running reconnaissance during the Vietnam War. He left right before I turned 9, and came home when I was 11. Decades later, when I was nearly 40, I asked him about it. He told me the truth about a lot of things. War isn’t all heroism and glory, it’s fear, the most intense, right down to your bone marrow FEAR. It’s also mud, filth, malaria and jungle rot (mostly on your feet and up your ankles, from not being able to take your boots, and your wet socks, off for days on end), seeing people getting blown to bits, blood, guts, rotting corpses, dead babies, seeing atrocities committed right in front of you, seeing people starving, desperate, uprooted from everything and everybody they know—-like the soldiers themselves. Seeing fellow soldiers have a mental breakdown and going crazy from the crushing stress. It’s also going against everything we’re taught about not killing people. He told me that f***s your head up so bad it changes your personality. It changed his for many years afterward. He was a nice young man when he left for Parris Island boot, but came back just plain mean down to his core. Took him a lot of years to come back to the nice guy, the really sweet brother I spent most of my childhood with. That’s what war is. Books, movies, and that old drunk geezer down the street or in your family, have always lied to us about how great and noble it is. Noble, my a*s.

"I got paid." When asked why Harrison played Han in SW7. He's a guy doing a job, he's great, and he's been doing it in iconic roles for going on 50 years.

But wasn't Anakin at one with the Force prior to turning to the dark side, and didn't he return to the Force before he died, as Vader, by restoring balance to the Force?

A lot of that review is accurate except I don't agree with the summary of it adding up to a bad movie. The original star wars had unknown actors who were rather raw at the time, a limited budget, very limited technology for special effects (compared to today). The 'good vs evil' was simplistic but that's okay IMO. MANY movies do that. I saw it on release and back then it was pretty ground breaking in terms of imagination and the fact 'space' movies were not much of a thing then. Most comparisons would be to the really cheesy sci-fi stuff from back in the what - 50s or whatever. Buck Rogers etc

Kate Jones 2 years ago
This was the 'Iron Man' of horror movies. After this, people became more interested in the mystery aspect of horror, the story and lore, and you started seeing a lot more movies that were legit scary instead of the House of Wax -style that horror was devolving into. I mean, those still exist and they can be fun, but it's nice that out of this we started getting movies like Hereditary, the Conjuring, The Witch and more. And it started pulling in better actors, too. Bigger stars generally didn't do serious horror movies. Then we got studios like Blumhouse that focused entirely on doing well-done horror that is actually scary and not just silly and the actors have gotten better. I mean, Toni Collette should have gotten an oscar for Hereditary, seriously. Anya Taylor Joy was fantastic in the Witch. Florence Pugh in Midsommar was great and that movie, while weird, had one of the most disturbing opening scenes ever. I'm so happy horror has gotten so good lately and Saw really helped it.

Not really a secret... It's hilarious if you replay it; their faces smash through each other. The falling 'petals' you see here are there to try to hide it!! Visual effects artists discuss this scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI-ChM1lVRk&t=660s

But now they're making a second one so they have to use the alternate ending.

Wow you are right. I thought "surely you mean prequel", as planned in 2008, but that has kept changing and indeed... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend_(film)#Sequel . Terrible. The whole point (in the novel) is that the 'mutants' replace us, and he is a horrible legendary boogeyman to them; in that stupid movie God helps find a 'cure' to reverse mutation instead.

I always thought he would be the perfect link between Jake Lloyd (Episode I) and Sebastian Shaw (Episode VI).

Not surprised honestly. He would’ve had to play someone in love with an older woman, something he probably still isn’t ready for

Jim Carrey played the riddler in batman previously so... nope. Bad idea. However, Malkovich or Cage are suitably insane and could have pulled it off.

I don't think Malkovich would have put the same energy as Defoe, and I dont' think Cage could have pulled off the intensity. Defoe was the perfect blend IMO.

Eh? Let you in on a secret: Almost every movie where stuff crashes (trains, planes, fuel trucks, spaceships) they're NOT REAL SIZE BUT MODELS. Whowouldhavethoughtthateh?

Whoa whoa. You mean they didn't build a Star Destroyer and smash it into another? Mind. Blown.

In my opinion, even if it didn't perfectly follow the books, the rings of power was a beautiful show.

You can tell sure tell that Christopher Tolkien is gone, he spent his life protecting his father's legacy. Having said that, it's an amazing world created by a master. If Warner Bros want to make some fan fic movies let's see what they've got. I don't have to watch them and it won't change my appreciation for the books or Peter Jackson's trilogy. I honestly enjoy seeing people interpret this world and making something new. We got to see Numenor, the transition to Valinor, Gandalf arriving on Middle Earth, the betrayal of the forging of the rings. They weren't perfect, sometimes not very good at all, but it was cool seeing this interpretation.

That's how accidents can make a movie wonderful. That scene ties in so many emotions that it fits perfectly.

Would you even call that acting? I think Jered Leto is over rated. His Joker was laughable. Health Ledger killed it, cannot compare.

I don't believe this. No way a performer of his caliber and finesse messes with his looks

His teeth were probrably capped or veneers already, like most lead actors; having them chipped was no more of a commitment than gaining or losing weight for a role.

The whole idea of Batman is pretty flawed, IMHO - a billionaire has a chance to improve a city's social services and law enforcement for the betterment of all... but nope, instead he chooses to dress like a bat and fight crime with quirky gadgets.

It's because he's mentally ill. The trauma of his parent's death led him to formulate his entire personality as a revenge machine. If he didn't channel it through the Batman thing (and have a Robin around) he'd get more and more like the Punisher. He's not really here for anyone else, he just projects that way

Probably wouldn’t be wise to accept that. I don’t think Nazi is a good look for rappers

I always skim these parts of movies, they are tedious and get in the way of character development. Ditto sex scenes.

Like most of the night scenes in movies. Called "American night". If you watch these scenes, you clearly see the shadow of the actors, objects, because of the sunlight. They use special filters.

she'd be too busy posing and being sultry to actually perform the role required.
