Who doesn't like to learn more about movie trivia? I know I do here are just a few fun movie trivia facts. I am working on more to post with a professional assignment writing service help but in the meantime, I hope these tide you over.
Most Expensive Film Ever Made As technology advances and films get more sophisticated, the budget of movies today get more expensive. The most expensive film to date (not adjusting inflation and counting promotion, but the actual filming and production) is Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End made from a budget of $300,000,000. Disney really goes all out for their movies, and with a franchise that has made over $2,681,440,232 worldwide. Highest Paycheck Given/Offered To An Actor For A Role Like I said Disney isn't afraid to pull strings and reach into their wallets for their major blockbuster films. This isn't official (yet), but Disney has offered actor Johnny Depp $56 million to come back for Pirates of the Caribbean 4. The reason I put this up is because this film is going to happen. A script is in the works, Depp said he would love to come back, producers and directors have spoken about coming back if a good plot came around, and we all know Disney would go ahead with it even if Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley don't want to come back. The Lowest Grossing Film Of All Time We're always on the lookout for which motion picture sets a record at the box office. We love big competition between films, and when one sets a record it gets listed in the books. Have you ever thought of what could possibly be the lowest grossing film of all time? Well, the film is called Zyzzyx Road and it only grabbed $30.00 (USD) at the box office in a Texas theatre. If you take the average movie ticket price (which is about $7.50), then you're looking about only four people who saw this in the cinemas. With a budget of $2,000,000 I'm sure film executives hung themselves with their ties. More Fun Movie Trivia The Longest Film Ever Made The longest film ever made according to Yahoo is The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple, which clocks in at 27 hours long. The film was never shown in its entirety due to its length. Instead it was split into 18 features that were shown from 1928 through 1931. Even though the film was split, it was produced as one major film as a whole. Some consider The Cure For Insomnia to be the longest film ever produced with a running time of 87 hours, but the film has no plot. With no plot/characters it really isn't considered a film. It consists of a man reading a poem throughout the movie with occasional clips of heavy metal. Worst Film Of All Time Critics can dislike a film and give a bad review. But it's difficult to get critics and moviegoers to despise a film at the same time. According to IMDb and their polls (which are very accurate), the worst film of all time is Disaster Movie. This wasn't a huge surprise at all, with its average rating of 1.3/10 on IMDb and and a 2% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Freelance Fact #1Did you know that demand for freelancers is through the roof … and increasing even as we speak? Yes, this is true even considering the sluggish economy and massive layoffs you keep hearing about in the news. Here's the reason: companies do not care about hiring employees and are turning more and more to outsourcing.
"Even though the job market may be softening, talented professionals are still in high demand, and so are freelancers to fill in the holes left by departing employees. Since talented employees can still move relatively easily from job to job, freelance opportunities will almost always exist in corporations around the U.S. " You see, layoffs are increasing even as we speak, but the jobs are still there in other forms... yes, you guessed it: freelance jobs. Freelance Fact #2It doesn't matter whether you are an Einstein in your field, a rookie in a new job or even a college graduate with no job living in your parent's home… freelance work exists for ALL skill levels, including those of you with entry-level skills . If you do happen to be entry-level, you simply start out with projects suiting your current skills and gradually build up to the big-dog jobs making you big bucks. I would happen to think this beats fetching coffee and making copies at your new job at the office. Now, ready for the killer secret that even most freelancers don't even know? Freelance Fact #3Do you realize that, contrary to what many believe, many freelancers actually earn WAY more than they would doing the same work at a job? You see, before the internet, freelancers had to rely on very limited contacts locally in their area to provide themselves with work. Freelancers therefore had no choice but to take whatever measly wage they could get for their work. Today it's a whole new ballgame. The internet is now what fuels the freelance market bringing businesses and freelancers together. Most freelance work can now be done without ever having to meet employers face-to-face. What happens, too, is that you can literally command your own price and find those more than willing to pay it! It isn't unusual to see freelancers making 2 – 3 times what they would at a job doing the exact same work you do at your job . |
