Film
887: Silver Linings Playbook
Trivia: Anne Hathaway was originally cast opposite Bradley Cooper, but dropped out due to scheduling
conflicts.
Rachel McAdams, Olivia Wilde, Elizabeth Banks,
Blake Lively, Rooney Mara, Kirsten Dunst and Andrea Riseborough were considered for the lead female
role that went to Jennifer Lawrence.
Mark Wahlberg was cast in the lead role but director David O. Russell decided to go with Bradley Cooper instead, even though Wahlberg had both
produced and co-starred in Russell's last film, the critically acclaimed smash The Fighter.
This is
the first film, other than a Rush Hour
movie, that Chris Tucker has been in since Jackie Brown in 1997.
The
results of Eagles and Phillies games mentioned in the movie are all real and
all took place in 2008.
Bradley
Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence spent weeks practicing the climactic ballroom
dance routine with choreographer Mandy Moore.
"None of that was improvised, absolutely not," asserts Lawrence.
"I'm a terrible dancer, so I would never have been able to do any of that.
When it finally came together, that scene really was just as fun as it
feels."
Robert De Niro and Chris Tucker both starred in Jackie Brown, though they did not have any scenes together
in that movie.
