Don't forget that he was supposed to fight a giant spider in it.

Nicholas Cage may still get to play Superman, as--apparently--Henry Cavill will no longer be playing the role. Thus, Marvel Fans have been saying come over to our side, as we want you to play Marvel's The Sentinel in a film.

Kevin Smith did a brilliant bit about his brief but bizarre experience working on that film during one his spoken-word tours. It's long (about 20 minutes) but totally worth the watch:

From The Alamo (2004) IMDB trivia page:

Quote
During production, local news stations sent helicopters to get aerial footage of the Alamo set. This was causing so much interference that everyone on the set was told to give the copters "the finger" so they could not use any footage.

The golden gun prop in the James Bond movie The Man With The Golden Gun (1972) was one of a few. They could be dismantled into constituent parts produced by the lighter company Colibri. All but one Golden Gun has disappeared in the intervening years, and the last Golden Gun was on tour in the traveling James Bond exhibition produced by the Barbizon.

The original monolith for the movie 2001 was a solid block of clear acrylic that weighed 2 metric tons.  It was the largest single acrylic plastic cast at the time.

Kubrick rejected it as it was almost impossible to film.

It ended up here...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
