THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• When Craig sees the sign stating that Lestercorp is on floor 7 1/2, it is exactly seven and a half minutes into the film.
• John Cusack took marionette lessons to prepare for this role.
• Kaufman originally sent his this script to Francis Ford Coppola in hopes he would agree to direct this film. Coppola enjoyed the script a great deal and even though he didn't direct the film he showed it to his daughter and her husband Spike Jonze who then approached Kaufman about directing the movie.
• The original draft of this film had a few differences from the final draft, John Malkovich's actor friend was supposed to be Kevin Bacon not Charlie Sheen. Also the purpose of the door to Malkovich involved a plot to take over the world in the name of Satan.
