THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film is based on the book of the same name by Michael Cunningham.
• Nicole Kidman is left handed, however Virginia Woolf was right handed, so in order to prepare for the role she had to learn how to write with her other hand.
• Originally the role of Old Laura was played by Betsy Blair and the role of Louis Waters was played by Zelijko Ivanek. All of their scenes were filmed with those actors plying the parts, it wasn't until the director saw the final scenes in post-production that he changed his mind and had the parts recast. As a result all of the scenes featuring those characters had to be reshot at the last minute.
