THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• The studio and insurers of the film were so worried that 80-year-old director Robert Altman would die during filming, they hired on Paul Thomas Anderson as a "back-up" should Altman not be able to finish the film.
• In the scene where Kevin Kline's character is opening a bottle, the cork flies off screen and you can hear someone say "Ow!" The voice is that of director Robert Altman who was struck in the head by the cork in an unscripted accident. The footage was able to be used however when Kline simply yells "sorry" in character and then continues with the scene.
• All the actors in the film did all of their own singing and instrument playing live on stage, choosing not to rely on pre-recorded music. In addition most of the film was shot on location in Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota which is where the radio show this film is based on was actually shot.
• Actor/Screenwriter Garrison Keillor named Lindsay Lohan's character in the film Lola after the song Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets. He named her this because Lohan managed to talk her way into the movie regardless of the fact that there was no role for her to play and he was forced to write one.
• Before Kevin Kline got the part Of Guy Noir it was offered to George Clooney who had to decline the role due to scheduling conflicts.
• Michelle Pfeiffer was originally slated to play the role of The Dangerous Woman but backed out at the last minute and was replace by Virginia Madsen. Director Robert Altman was so impressed by Madsen that the cuts he originally had planned for the character were abandoned and the part was not cut down.
