THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film is based on a play of the same name written by John Patrick Shanley, who adapted the script to film and directed it as well. The original play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and won several Tony Awards as well.
• As with the play, the only person that Shanley told the truth about Father Flannigan's affairs was the actor who played him. None of the others were allowed to know the truth.
• Oprah Winfrey lobbied heavily for the chance to play Mrs. Miller, however Shanley refused to even give her a reading. The role eventually went to Viola Davis, and the role earned her an Oscar nomination. Likewise the role of Sister James was offered to Natalie Portman, who turned the role down, that role ended up going to Amy Adams, who also earned an Oscar nomination.
