TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The Coen Brothers (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen) wrote the character Osborne Cox with John Malkovich in mind. Brad Pitt's character was also written with the actor in mind, inspired by a commercial for which he suffered a similar haircut and dye job. Indeed, the Coen Brothers noted at a Q&A session at the Venice Film Festival that all the leading characters were written for all the leading actors, with the exception of Tilda Swinton.

According to costume designer Mary Zophres, even cheap suits look good on Brad Pitt. Thus, for the scene where his character Chad wears a cheap suit, she dressed Pitt in a suit with a purposefully bad and ill-fitting cut and a horrid-looking wool tie.

The Coen brothers (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen) said they wrote the screenplay for this film while writing the screenplay for No Country for Old Men (2007). They would usually alternate every other day for each script.

George Clooney has stated he learns a lot from the Coen brothers (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen) for his career as a director. He tries to have things running the same way that the Coens do on their films, even hiring their storyboard artist, J. Todd Anderson, for two of his films.

The building that was turned into the Hardbodies gym was found in Paramus, New Jersey. The crew did such a good job with it that locals came in to inquire about membership.

Popular Dialogues

"Osbourne Cox: I have a drinking problem? Fuck you, Peck, you're a Mormon. Compared to you we ALL have a drinking problem!"

"[last lines] CIA Superior: What did we learn, Palmer? CIA Officer: I don't know, sir. CIA Superior: I don't fuckin' know either. I guess we learned not to do it again. CIA Officer: Yes, sir. CIA Superior: I'm fucked if I know what we did. CIA Officer: Yes, sir, it's, uh, hard to say CIA Superior: Jesus Fucking Christ."
