Movie Trivia thread.....

Who did the makers of "Animal House" originally want to play Boon?

Harold Ramis wrote the part of Boon for himself, but was rejected because he was too old.. Otter was Chevy Chase was Otter (as noted), but Landis talked Chase out of it by saying it would be an ensemble. Dan Ackroyd was written for D-Day and I think his was just scheduling conflicts . Though, something, tells me producers wanted Bill Murray in there somewhere.

What do you consider the end of it, the end of contract players?

They wanted to shoot at Faber, but the dean thought it cast the school in an unfavorable.

I believe that's the implication in the item I read.

Oregon State. A much-prettier campus, BTW.

Incorrect.
The movie was set to be filmed at the University of Missouri until the president of the school read the script and refused permission. It was filmed at and around the University of Oregon in Eugene instead.

 

[micropolitan guy]

Well then after Mizzou turned them down, Oregon State did as well.

 

[PCLoadLetter]

From my understanding they sent out feelers to a lot of schools, but Oregon was the only one that didn't ask to see a script beforehand.

I lived a half-block from the Delta house my freshman year. Had several classes in the room where Donald Sutherland lectures about Milton. The strangest one -- I interviewed the University President in his office, and realized I was standing in the exact spot where the horse dropped dead. They let the film crew use the actual president's office for the scenes with Dean Wormer.

Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker have been in all of them.

Episode VII will be Peter Meyhew's fifth. Not sure who the other with five would be.

Two Best Picture winners are names of cities. Name them.

 

[Jake_Taylor]

Casablanca and Chicago. There’s three if you count Cimarron, which is the name of at least a couple small towns.

 

[DanOregon]

Yup. But the Cimmeron in the title was a "territory" - Four, if you count An American in Paris.

 

[Riptide]

Small towns, you say? Hamlet!

All correct. The last is Ian McDiarmid, who plays Emperor Palpatine.
