Fascinating
Facts About Movies And Movie Industry (Part 1) (Interestingawesome.blogspot.com)
A film , also called a movie , motion picture ,theatrical
film or photo play , is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen,
creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon . This optical
illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate
objects viewed rapidly in succession. The process of film making is both an art
and an industry. A film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion
picture camera ; by photographing drawings or miniature models using
traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation ; or
by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects.
Boring ,huh? But, those are the must known facts about the process of a movie. So movie
lovers, this is for you. A mass of quite interesting facts about movies and
movie Industry are here. So let’s move on.

- Film
producer Jeffrey Katzenberg revived The Walt Disney Studios by producing some
of their biggest hits: The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast
and Aladdin . After these he requested a promotion, and was then abruptly fired
by them. He then swore revenge against Disney and founded Dream Works Studios.
- While shooting the snow mountain scene for Lord Of The Rings The
Fellowship of the Ring, Sean Bean climbed the mountain to reach the sets. In
order to shoot the scene, the crew had to be helicoptered to the sets. But Sean
Bean, succumbing to his fear of flying, chose the difficult path and took whole
two hours to climb the mountain.
- In The Dark Knight, the part where the Joker is fidgeting with the remote
was a natural reaction. The hospital set was timed to get blown off with some
other technology and of course not by Joker’s remote. What had happened was
that due to perhaps some technical fault the hospital set did not suffer the
blast by the pre-decided time. However, Joker being in his character fully,
made it appear as though it was due to the faulty remote in his hand that was
causing the delay in the blast.
- Thor in order to conceive that absolutely real remote town look, they
rebuilt almost an entire town in Galisteo, New Mexico.
- In the movie Interstellar, except for the scenes involving space (the
worm hole, Gargantua, etc), all other scenes were shot in real environments.
Even the cockpit was built specially for the film.
- The dinosaur sounds in the Jurassic Park are actually recordings of
noises coming from tortoise sex. Oh no, no.:-D;-)
- Keeping aside all the crazy science in Gravity, we just have to say this
the movies budget was more than what the entire India’s Mars Mission required.
- The movie Titanic’s run time is same as the amount of time taken by the
ship to sink in real life. And you know what happens when perfectionist James
Cameron gets crazy? He becomes OCD perfect. Remember the scene with Rose lying
on the driftwood and staring at the stars? In the 3D version, the former star
field was replaced with the field that showed stars how they would have
appeared at 4:20 a.m. of 15th April 1912.
- In one of the iconic Pulp Fiction scenes, the plot of Kill Bill is
indirectly revealed. Also, Pulp Fiction had hit theaters with other epic ones-
Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump and Jurassic Park, at the same time in the
October of 1994! And all of those movies are still consider as the greatest
movies of all time.

assistant was none other than the director of the film!
- In Terminater 2(1991),Linda Hamilton, who played the mother, forgot to

the elevator at close range, the massive sound of the blank blast caused her
permanent hearing damage.
- During the filming of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) a

degrees. Needless to say, the injury was pretty gruesome, but Han Solo, as
usual, recovered.
- In 2011, NASA declared Gattaca the most plausible science-fiction movie
ever made. The idea of a world defined by genetic traits is one that many
scientists fear will come to pass if genetic screening becomes more common. By
contrast, Armageddon is considered by NASA the most implausible sci-fi movie
ever made.

the film, arrests Leonardo DiCaprio in France. The real Abagnale played one of
the French police officers who pins Leonardo against the police car and takes
him into custody.

700 words he said in, Terminator 2: Judgment Day (In 1991).

towards him necessary for the role.

second) took an average of 47 hours to render.

billion dollars, making it the highest earning horror franchise globally.

ticket sales. Note to Disney: keep away from the red planet.
- When Mark Zuckerberg posts his art essay question on Facebook during The
Social Network his alias can be seen as one Tyler Durden.
