We are happy to bring you our list of Behind The Scenes Movie Secrets Finally Revealed!
Guardians Of The Galaxy Guardians Of The Galaxy is Marvel’s little
movie franchise that could.
A relatively unknown property turned world wide success has proven just how good the
MCU is at making movies.
Fans are stoked to see the 2017 sequel so we figured it would be a good idea to talk
about some crazy secrets from behind the scenes of the original movie.
Die-hard Guardians of the Galaxy fans likely already know that Sean Gunn – James Gunn’s
brother – did most of the on-set work as Rocket in the film, but what you may not know
is that there were actually two actors who did that job.
Arti Shah, a little person, was also part of the production – but what’s funny is
that she was actually a bit too tall for the job.
While Sean Gunn was able to crouch down to Rocket’s height, giving his co-stars a proper
eye-line, Shah had to wear an image of Rocket on her chest.
Another fun Rocket fact is that the character was based on a real raccoon named Oreo that
director James Gunn actually brought to the premier.
Raccoons can be tough, but sometimes comedians can be even tought as they had to retake a
bunch of scenes because actor Chris Pratt kept making “pew pew” sounds with his
gun and ruining the take.
The crazy thing is that James Gunn didn’t even want to see Pratt for the role, but his
assistant insisted.
Apparently Chris Pratt impressed Gunn so much that he told him that he didn’t even need
to actually lose weight and that they could just CGI on his ab muscles in post production.
In the end, Chris Pratt ended up losing a whopping 60 pounds and his new appearance
has definitely helped sky rocket his career.
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows With the release of 2016’s Fantastic Beasts
and Where To Find Them, audiences have been treated to with a return to J.K Rowling’s
magical universe.
Super fans of the franchise may think they know everything, but there are some behind
the scenes secrets that may just surprise even the biggest Potterhead.
In the epilogue in ‘Deathly Hallows’ Part 2 the cast play their characters in the future,
using a combination of prosthetics, CGI techniques similar to The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
In this epilogue the wife of Draco Malfoy, is actually played by Tom Felton’s real
life girlfriend Jade Olivia.
In Other Malfoy family news, Jason Isaacs (who plays Lucius) said he would not return
to the movies after the fifth book imprisoned his character.
J.K Rowling then met with him and when she finally agreed to release him from prison
– he instantly signed on for the rest of the films.
A final fact that may hurt the hearts of some fans is that on the last day of the 236 day
shoot for the final two films Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were all moved
to tears when director David Yates yelled out the final “cut” for the franchise.
If that hits you right in the childhood, we don’t blame you.
Star Wars The Force Awakens 2015’s Star Wars The Force Awakens brought
the galaxy far, far away a little bit closer and for the most part pleased fans worldwide.
The story, acting and visuals were all great and viewers are extremely anxious to see what
will be coming to them next in episode’s 8 and 9.
Fans were ecstatic when they got to see Mark Hamill at the end of the movie reprising his
role as Luke Skywalker but what a lot of people don’t know is that Hamill actually showed
up to the table read of the script and read all of the stage directions (as he had no
lines of dialogue himself).
Another behind the scenes gem came when Abrams delivered a speech to the cast and crew after
filming the shocking death of Han Solo.
He called Ford “a man who was a hero to us before this movie, but he is even more
so today.”
Everyone applauded, and Chewie fittingly hugged Ford, whose eyes had welled up with tears.
From the sounds of it, it must have been a once in a life time experience to be on the
set of Star Wars Episode 7.
Doctor Strange Doctor Strange is already Marvel’s highest
grossing character debut movie of all time and fans are definitely excited to see more
of the sorcerer supreme in the upcoming MCU movies.
Fans seem so love British star Benedict Cumberbatch, but they might not know that he wasn’t the
producer’s first, second or even third choice.
Originally the role was intended for actor Joaquin Phoenix but talks fell through over
money disputes.
The role was then offered to Johnny Depp and Jared Leto, who both turned it down.
The producers reluctantly ended up with Cumberbatch and although there were early worries, it
seems to have turned out great.
The visual effects in Doctor Strange are amazing and definitely bring a trippy feel to the
movie.
Fans might not know that this is actually done as homage to the source material…which
was partially written and conceived while the writers were under the influence of LSD
and other popular drugs at the time.
It’s probably better than Doctor Stephen Strange is thought of as magical man and not
a pro drug icon…whoops.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story The world still hasn’t seen Rogue One: A
Star Wars Story yet but from the trailers and the madness that was The Force Awakens,
we are sure that the world is about to be sent into Star War pandemonium yet again.
There is still a lot that is unknown about the movie, but some behind the scenes secrets
have surfaced.
As the movie is set close in time to the events of A New Hope it seems to only make sense
that some people from Episode 4 were asked to weigh in on the film.
It was reported that Star Wars creator George Lucas himself was actually on set during filming
of Rogue One and offered some tips to the cast and crew.
It has also been reported that Felicity Jones’ character Jyn Erso draws inspiration from
another famous female space traveler, Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley from the Alien movie franchise.
Those are some big shoes, or space boots, to fill – but we are hopeful.
Finally, it’s not much of a secret at this point but we would be remiss to not mention
the fact that this movie had to do quite a bit of reshooting.
That didn’t turn out so well for Suicide Squad, but hopefully that is not the case
here!
So there’s our look at 5 amazing movies with some pretty crazy behind the scenes secrets.
