THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film is based on the autobiography The Man In Black by Johnny Cash.
• It took eight years to secure the rights to Johnny Cash's book and find a studio who would back the project. Before being picked up by 20th Century Fox, Sony, Universal, Focus Features, Paramount, Columbia Pictures, and Warner Brothers all passed on the film.
• Joaquin Pheonix and Reese Witherspoon had to be trained how to sing and learn how to play the guitar and auto-harp for their roles in this movie. This included six months of singing lessons from music producer T-Bone Burnett. As a result none of the singing was dubbed it was all done by the actors themselves.
• Despite being only being 5'8", a full six inches shorter than the actual Johnny Cash, Joaquin Phoenix was hand picked by Cash before his death to portray him in the film, after seeing him in the movie Gladiator. It is has also been reported the June Carter had picked Reese Witherspoon to play her in the film as well.
