This is what the DVD/Blu-Ray cover looks like. You can clearly see the confusion
Bourne Novels
Though the character and series were created by Robert Ludlum he only wrote 3 books in the series, which were the ones made into films; Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, and Bourne Ultimatum. Eric Van Lustbader picked up the series and wrote 12 more books. Even though Lustbader wrote a book called Bourne Legacy, the film has nothing but the name in common with the book. In total the series has 15 books.
Moby
Porcelain from the Moby album Play was first used in a VW commercial and then the movie The Beach. It was also used in a few other commercials.
Here is a link to a Rolling Stone article that speaks about the controversy we mentioned.
Christian Bale’s Weight
He lost 70lbs for The Mechanic and after gained 100lbs for Batman Begins
Maniac
The advertising/payment form from the show I couldn’t remember was the “Ad Buddy”
Denis Villeneuve
I have seen one other of his movies that I absolutely love which is Enemy staring Jake Gyllenhaal.
Dune Mini-Series
So the series was not 1 but 2 series. Dune (2000) and Children of Dune (2003).
Awesome Listen 🙂
