THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based off of the book By A.J. Quinnell, which was first made as a movie with the same name in 1987.
• Before Denzel Washington was offered the lead role after director Tony Scott bumped into Washington in a doctor's office waiting room and the two struck up a conversation about the movie. At the time the role had already been rejected by Will Smith, Bruce Willis and Robert De Niro.
• Tony Scott was also not the first choice to direct, the chair was originally offered to Michael Bay who turned it down, and Antoine Fuqua who was already committed to King Arthur. Scott was also passed up when the original 1987 version of the film came out when the studio passed saying he did not have any hits under his belt.
• Screenwriter Brian Helgeland saw the original 1987 version of the movie when it was recommended to him by a video store employee named Quentin Tarintino. Helgeland did not originally want to write the script for the film if he was not also going to be able to direct the film, so the producers told him Scott would probably not end up directing the movie because he was committed to something else already. There were no other commitments and Scott ended up directing anyway.
• Dakota Fanning had to take Spanish, piano, and swimming lessons for her role, but had to employ a stunt burper as she could not make herself do it.
