THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based on the comic book series of the same name written by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones.
• This is director Timur Bekmambetov's first American film, however he has enjoyed international success with his Russian film series Night Watch. Many of the stars of that film do the voice-over work for the Russian release of the film.
• Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, two of the writers of the screenplay for this movie, named several of the characters in this film after faculty members from Baylor University, where the two went to college. Morgan Freeman's character is named Sloan, which was the last name of the Head of the University who was forced to resign while they were attending. In addition the first person that Wesley has to kill is Robert Darden, this is the name of the professor who taught the writing class in which the writing duo first met each other. Darden is also the name of the victim in 3:10 To Yuma and 2 Fast 2 Furious, two other films written by the pair.
