FILM 1874: GREEN ROOM



FILM 1874: GREEN ROOM

TRIVIA: Patrick Stewart said in an interview that when he finished reading the script at his country home in England, it was so terrifying that he locked up his house, turned on the security system, and poured himself a Scotch. He then knew that he wanted to play the Darcy Banker role because a character that horrifying would be an incredible challenge, and make for a compelling film.

The paintball story Pat (Anton Yelchin) tells is a real experience director Jeremy Saulnierhad. Rick Spears is a real person, who did as said in the story.

While the tracks were recorded separately the staged performances, the actors actually performed their songs. Anton Yelchin and Alia Shawkat already knew how to play their instruments, but according to Jeremy SaulnierCallum Turner had no experience with any sort of music. Joe Cole also learned to play drums, specifically for this film.

Jeremy Saulnier, the director, was partly inspired by the film Straw Dogs (1971).
