50 Surprising Movie Facts You Probably Didn’t Know, As Shared On This Twitter Account (New Pics)
While it doesn’t feel this way, we only see a teeny tiny part on the big screen. Much of the big work from cast and crew, from lighters to sound engineers, costume and prop designers remains invisible. And that’s the beauty of cinema – to see the carefully staged fiction as if it was reality.
The notoriously entertaining Twitter page “Film Facts” is shedding a light on the lesser known side of the film industry. According to their description, the account is dedicated to sharing “facts about all things cinema” to its growing audience of now 279.9K followers.
Below we wrapped up some of the most intriguing film facts for you to enjoy. After you’re done, be sure to check out our previous feature with more fascinating posts about the film industry.

We live in the era of changes. What we thought of as the film industry a few decades ago is no longer relevant today. The explosion of technology and digital platforms has changed the film business beyond recognition, further fueled by the worldwide pandemic and economic uncertainty that followed.
According to Deborah LaVine, the Dean of the School of Filmmaking, one of the quintessential shifts we see in the film industry at the moment is “a hunger right now for home entertainment that is so intense." No wonder Netflix's original programming has more than doubled since the beginning of 2020, while cinema theaters seem to have partially lost their initial appeal.

Back in the days when Hollywood respected the souce material (to a certain degree at least)
LaVine believes that consumers don’t have to rely on major movie studios or television networks (or even streaming services) to deliver content. And content creators have been freed from many of the formalities of the film business, with the ability to create and distribute their own work becoming ever more accessible. Social media has further accelerated this trend and it’s likely not going anywhere soon.
The aspiring filmmakers today have to be “entrepreneurial,” LaVine argues. "There are all sorts of paths available to them, and the space is ripe for audacity."
To find out more about how the film industry is doing right now, Bored Panda reached out to Romina Espinosa, also known as REDROMINA, a filmmaker, published author, and content creator who said that the industry is at a crossroads now.
“The ability to create films has become more accessible so we are seeing many more talented people emerging from all over the world. Because of the growth of the internet and streaming platforms, filming is not location-dependent—you can be filmmaking from anywhere and reach an audience everywhere,” Romina explained.

Cutting the scary parts from "The Shining" is extremely easy. Just substitute the complete movie with another one.
According to Romina, we'll be seeing more independent films being released alongside the "hundreds of millions" of budget blockbuster films. “Filmmakers will get more creative with the way they tell stories and incorporate new technologies like VR/AR. Films will be more about the experience than exclusively watching on a screen. The next 5-10 years are going to be exciting for filmmakers and movie-goers!”

All the actors went through a military training course in preperation for the movie, Matt Damon excluded. Spielberg wanted him to be the outsider to get more genuine reactions towards him in the movie
Most of the action when creating a movie happens behind the scenes and people never get to see it. “I feel most audience members don't realize the amount of work, time, and energy that can go into creating one short 10-second scene. It can go by really fast and enhances the movie-going experience, but it might have been something that took an entire day to create,” Romina explained.

How can anyone boo this movie? It was great. Even if it's not your cup of tea it was still entertaining. I get not liking it but booing it...while the actors are there in the audience? That seems harsh

"I got paid." When asked why Harrison played Han in SW7. He's a guy doing a job, he's great, and he's been doing it in iconic roles for going on 50 years. The characters belong to the Fandom, the actor does not. He is an intensely private man who keeps a very low profile outside of required press commitments for his movie projects. If he wants to go home at the end of his shift and not talk about work I appreciate that 100%.

He and Brendan Fraser are both so underrated and underutilized. And both seem so genuine and kind. We own them to go see anything they’re in to keep their film careers alive!

Charlie C*x is a perfect daredevil imho, along with John Bernthal as Punisher.

Given his unshakeable commitment to Method acting, I am surprised he didn't ensure that the music he listened to was from the 19th century

That’s not something I’d boast about. I thought the point of these things is that both actors agree beforehand?

Never got through the first movie; please show me that 2h cut. I loved the book from when I was small, often reread it... but what a slog.
