Troy (2004)
Brad Pitt, who plays Achilles had a mishap during the production - he tore his left achilles tendon.
Legends of the Fall (1994)
Johnny Depp was offered, and turned down, the role of Tristan Ludlow which was ultimately played by Brad Pitt
Bridget Jones`s Diary (2001)
When Helen Fielding wrote the novel "Bridget Jones's Diary", she based the character of Mark Darcy on Colin Firth's depiction of Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice" (1995). In addition to the inside-joke casting of Colin Firth as Mark Darcy, there are several other allusions to Jane Austen's story
The Dark Knight (2008)
This is the first Batman feature film ever that doesn't incorporate the word "Batman" in its title.
The Remains of the Day (1993)
Only one of three roles (Miss Kenton) that actress Meryl Streep was turned down for.
Casablanca (1942)
Dooley Wilson was, in fact, the only member of the cast to have ever actually visited the city of Casablanca.
Roman Holiday (1953)
Shot in black and white so that the characters wouldn't be upstaged by the romantic setting of Rome.
Freaky Friday (2003)
The snapshots in the opening credits are actually photos of Jamie Lee Curtis and her daughter Annie Guest.
Scent of a woman (1992)
Al Pacino was helped by a school for the blind in his preparation for this role. He said that he made himself appear blind by not allowing his eyes to focus on anything.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Partly inspired by an experience from Steven Spielberg's childhood where without warning his parents rushed the family into their car, drove to an area where many others were gathered, and watched a spectacular meteor
shower.
