Film
1089: August: Osage
County
Trivia:
Beverly Weston, the Weston family patriarch, was played by Dennis Letts,
playwright Tracey Letts' father in the Steppenwolf premiere of the play.
Chloë Grace Moretz
auditioned for the role of Jean Fordham, but lost to Abigail Breslin.
Tracy
Letts unsuccessfully objected against Harvey Weinstein's decision in the
casting of British actors for the film (Ewan McGregor, Benedict Cumberbatch and
etc.. including Andrea Riseborough who was nearly cast as Karen) as the
characters are written to be all-American, but admitted had a change of view
after seeing the film.

Film
803: Velvet Goldmine
Trivia:
Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ewan McGregor sang their own
songs in the movie. (Some of Rhys Meyers's songs were overdubbed by Radiohead
lead singer Thom Yorke.)
When
Brian first sees Mandy, he says "Do you jive?" That's what David Bowie is supposed to
have said when he first saw his first wife, Angela Bowie.
During
the Festival sequence where Brian sees Curt perform for the first time, Ewan McGregor was only due to
moon the disgruntled crowd. But inspired by the antics of Iggy Pop, he improvised,
and ended up gesticulating wildly while flashing the audience, leaping about
with his trousers around his ankles.
When
Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor were filming their
sex scene, the director cut without letting them know, so the two continued to
simulate the act until they realized the trick that had been played on them.
The
Curt Wild character is mainly inspired by David Bowie's relationship
with two American 1960's underground rockers whose careers Bowie resurrected,
'Iggy Pop(I)' and Lou Reed. Iggy Pop hailed
from Michigan and shared Wild's long blond locks, while Reed underwent shock
therapy for bisexuality as a teen and was rumored to have had an affair with
Bowie before their falling out after Bowie produced Reed's album Transformer.
Much central to the film is fictionalized such as the mythical, mysterious
decade-long disappearance of "Slade", although he reincarnated
himself as Tommy Stone, a blonde with a white suit (the 'thin white duke').
Bowie wasn't as huge of a star as Slade is depicted here and never withdrew for
so long from the public-eye as did the film's character.
Courtney Love considered
supplying music to the film's soundtrack, however after viewing a rough cut she
withdrew, claiming that the character of Curt Wild too closely resembled her
late husband Kurt Cobain both in character
and physicality. The Wild/Cobain parallel later became a much-discussed point
among critics, and while director Todd
Haynes and actor Ewan
McGregor have noted similarities between Cobain and Wild, both
claim the resemblance was unintended. Haynes, for his part, notes that Cobain
borrowed many style traits from Iggy
Pop, who served as partial basis for the Wild character.
