THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based on the book Q & A by Vikas Swarup.
• All of the children in the movie had the money they made from the film put into a trust that will be released to them after their 16th birthday and completion of school. In addition the production company has also paid in advance for a rickshaw to pick the children up and take them to school everyday.
• Mercedez-Benz requested that their logo be removed from the film as they didn't want their brand to be associated with the Indian slums, as they feared it would taint their image. The same request was made by Coca-Cola, whose logo had to be removed from the bottles of soda the boys are given.
• Danny Boyle set out to film this movie in such a way as to receive a "PG-13" rating, however the film was given an "R" rating because of the tone of the film. Due to budgetary concerns there was not an time for an appeal and the movie had to be released as is.
• This film almost was almost a direct-to-video release, which would have made it ineligible for most awards including the Academy Award, for which it was awarded Best Picture.
