FILM 1980: BURNING
FILM 1980: BURNING
TRIVIA: The scene in which the main characters talk at Jong-su's house was filmed for about a month. They were only able to shoot for a few minutes every day to capture the twilight on camera.
Paju, the hometown of Jong-su, is famous for its fog. According to cinematographer Kyung-pyo Hong, there were many foggy scenes at dawn, but some were deleted because they came out so beautifully. Many of the scenes where Jong-su runs to search greenhouses at dawn were also deleted because the foggy landscapes were too beautifully shown.
Official submission of South Korea for the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category of the 91st Academy Awards in 2019.

FILM 1975: PET SEMATARY
FILM 1975: PET SEMATARY (1989)
TRIVIA: Stephen King once mentioned that the only novel he wrote that really scared him was "Pet Sematary."
Bruce Campbell was the first choice for the role of Louis Creed.
Stephen King was present on location for most of the shooting of the film. The area it was shot in was only twenty minutes away from his home in Bangor, Maine.
In Stephen King's novel, Judd mentions that a dog went wild in a nearby town and killed several people. This is a reference to the events of Cujo (1983), another novel by King. It is common for characters in King's novels to mention the events of his other novels.
Stephen King is a big fan of the Ramones and referenced some of their songs in the novel "Pet Sematary." In homage, The Ramones wrote and performed the theme song "Pet Sematary," which is featured in the film's closing credits. The truck driver was also listening to "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" by The Ramones.
The idea for this story came about when Stephen King's daughter's cat, Smuckey, was killed on the highway outside their home. Smuckey's name appears on gravestones in the pet cemetery, in both the film and the novel.
George A. Romero was originally set to direct, but when filming was delayed, he dropped out and Mary Lambert stepped in and Romero directed Monkey Shines (1988).
During the film, the character played by Fred Gwynne mentions that he had a pet named "Spot." "Spot" was also the name of the family pet on the TV show The Munsters (1964), also starring Gwynne.
Director Mary Lambert said that Fred Gwynne was her first and only choice for the role of Judd Crandall.
Initially, Paramount executives wanted a pair of twins to play the role of Gage, like those chosen to play Ellie, which was the more cost-effective option. However, Lambert was very impressed with three-year old Miko Hughes, whom she felt was a natural talent despite his young age, so she lobbied the studio to accept her choice.
Tom Savini turned down the chance to direct the film.
One of the hardest elements for the production design team was the path to the cemetery as it was described as, "shining in the moonlight."
CAMEO: Stephen King: (at around 41 mins) minister at the funeral.

FILM 1945: CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?
FILM 1945: CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?
TRIVIA: Melissa McCarthy's husband, Ben Falcone, was attached to the project before she was. He recommended her for the lead when another actor backed out.
A pile of Lee Israel books ("Beyond the Magic", an unauthorized biography of Estée Lauder) are shown on sale at a bookstore for 75% off. Lauder was publishing her own memoirs and initially tried to pay Israel *not* to write her book, but she refused and rushed her book to publication. The autobiography was released in October 1985 and Israel's biography one month later. The book buying public chose to buy the Lauder autobiography rather than the Israel biography. Lee Israel later said she regretted not taking the money when it was first offered.
Although he portrays an alcoholic, Richard E. Grant is allergic to alcohol.
Julianne Moore was attached to this project during early development. She removed herself from the project due to creative differences.
Melissa McCarthy's first portrayal of real-life person.

FILM 1614: THE SECRET LIFE OF
PETS
TRIVIA: Chloe tells Pops (who
thinks she's a dog) that she's a cat, and he replies "Nobody's
perfect," an iconic line from Some Like It Hot (1959).
The leader of the Flushed Pets is
named Snowball. The Flushed Pets hate humans because of past mistreatment. In George Orwell's
Animal Farm, Snowball is one of the two pigs who lead the revolution on the
farm against humans who have mistreated animals.
A scene shows a cab driver
listening to his radio, which is playing Pharrell Williams'
"Happy," which debuted in Despicable Me 2
(2013), another Illumination Entertainment film.
A Times Square billboard advertises
