WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Honored with two Academy Awards - Best Supporting Actor Michael Caine and Best Adapted Screenplay, John Irving - The Cider House Rules tells a compelling and heartwarming story about how far a young man must travel to find the place where he truly belongs! Homer Wells (Tobey Maguire - Pleasantville, The Ice Storm, Wonder Boys) has lived nearly his entire life within the walls of St. Cloud's Orphanage in rural Maine. Though groomed by its proprietor, Dr. Larch (Caine), to be his successor, Homer nonetheless feels the need to strike out on his own and experience the world outside. Then, while working at an apple orchard, Homer falls for the beautiful Candy (Charlize Theron - Reindeer Games, The Devil's Advocate) and learns some powerfully indelible lessons about life, love and home! Based on John Irving's best-selling American classic and featuring an all-star cast including Delroy Lindo and newcomer Erykah Badu, this entertaining motion picture earned raves from critics and moviegoers everywhere!

THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film is based upon the book of the same name by John Irving, who adapted the book to a screenplay himself.
• This film was in some sort of development for over ten years before actually being made. Originally Irving wanted to adapt the film and give his son Colin Irving the lead role, however after ten years he was too old and not well known enough to be considered for the lead and the role went to Maguire. However, Colin Irving did have a small part written for him, he played Major Winslow, the man who gives the news about Willy (Paul Rudd).
• Originally Philip Borsos was set to direct the film, but he died during the long process of getting financing. The job was then picked up by Michael Winterbottom, but he got frustrated with the waiting as well and left the project. Finally Lasse Hallstrom picked up the reins and ended up directing the film.
