WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW
DESCRIPTION:
Two-time Academy Award winner
Kevin Spacey and Academy Award nominee Jeff Bridges star in this spellbinding,
often humorous story of a mysterious stranger who defies convention, puzzles
the experts and leaves everyone searching for the truth.
A stranger who calls himself Prot
(Spacey) seemingly appears out of nowhere following a disturbance at New
York's Grand Central Station. Claiming to come from the distant planet
K-PAX, Prot draws the attention of jaded Dr. Powell (Bridges), whose initial
skepticism soon turns to fascination and amazement. Even a team of leading
scientists are at a loss to explain Prot's detailed knowledge of the star
system he calls home. But with Prot's return to K-PAX fast approaching,
the search for answers intensifies and the mystery takes on pulse-quickining
proportions.
Featuring unforgettable performances
and surprising turns, it's a thrilling story that "Keeps you guessing right
to the end!" (ABC Radio)

FRIENDS
-
This movie is based on the book of the same name written
by Gene Brewer, who based this book on his own experiences working at the
Manhattan Psychiatric ward when he was introduced to a man who identified
himself as Prot.
-
Originally Will Smith was supposed to play Prot and Kevin
Spacey Dr. Powell, however, Smith ended up dropping off the project, and
Spacey jumped at the chance to switch roles.
-
The sunglasses Spacey wears throughout the movie were on
loan from U2 front-man Bono, who insisted that the glasses be handled with
care, and were returned as soon as filming wrapped.
-
In the original book one of Prot's favorite film's was Starman,
which was about an alien who came to Earth, however this detail was dropped
once Jeff Bridges was cast as Dr. Powell, since he himself was the actor
who played "Starman".
