Film
857: Catch Me If You Can
Trivia: Gore Verbinski pushed production back a few months because
Leonardo DiCaprio had to re-shoot scenes for Gangs of New York, The delay led to James Gandolfini's withdrawal, because he had to go back
to work on The Sopranos. He was replaced by Tom Hanks. David Fincher,
Cameron Crowe and Lasse Hallström were asked to direct before Steven Spielberg, who only wanted to produce the movie,
took over.
Until he
saw the results of Leonardo DiCaprio's
work, the real Frank Abagnale Jr.
didn't think DiCaprio was "suave" enough to play him.
The
first cut of the film was about 80% authentic, as quoted at the epilogue of
Abagnale's book. Some scenes were corrected, added and change as per request of
the real Frank Abagnale Jr. to ensure total
authenticity.
Mrs.
Abagnale's house after she remarried was the same house used for Father of the Bride and its sequel.
When Frank Abagnale Jr. begins recruiting decoy flight
attendants; when announcing the girls picked he announces the actresses by real
name.
