FILM 1591: 25TH HOUR
TRIVIA: Tobey Maguire
bought the rights to the original novel with the intent of starring. He later
decided to do Spider-Man
(2002), although he did stay on this film as a producer.
Writer David Benioff
said in a BBC interview, "The first time I saw [Edward Norton] on set he
pulled back his hair and showed me his widow's peak. In the book, Monty Brogan
has a widow's peak, but I hadn't mentioned it in the script. But Edward so
wanted to be in character that he wore a prosthetic widow's peak for the entire
shoot."
Monty's line, "Champagne for my real friends, and real pain for my
sham friends," is a Francis Bacon quote.
David Benioff, who wrote the original novel is one of the two creators of
the Game of Thrones series on HBO.
The film cast includes two Oscar winners: Anna Paquin and Philip Seymour Hoffman;
and one Oscar nominee: Edward Norton.
