FILM 1776: THE BAD BATCH

FILM 1776: THE BAD BATCH 

TRIVIA: No soundstage work here. The entire film was filmed in extreme locations, and primarily outdoors in high heat.

Jim Carrey's first film role in which he never speaks.

Most of the extras hired were from Slab City, the same California community Chris McCandless visits in Into The Wild (2007). Most of the "Slabbers" came as is, not needing costumes or make-up.

Miami Man's Bad Batch tattoo can be partially seen during a conversation in the desert. It clearly shows only two digits after the BB meaning he's one of the first 99 to be exiled.

Shot in 28 days.

Film 808: The Book of Eli

Trivia: Kristen Stewart turned down Mila Kunis' role due to scheduling conflicts with New Moon.

Denzel Washington performed all of his own stunts in the hand-to-hand fight sequences.

The reason the cannibals' hands shake is because they suffer from Kuru disease - a form of Kreutzfeld Jakob Disease caused by eating human Brains or Spinal Columns. The first symptom is shaking limbs , which is why people check Eli's hands throughout the movie.

Denzel Washington shed about 50 pounds in preparation for the role.

Gary Oldman was cast at the suggestion of Denzel Washington.
