TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

On Twitter, Richard Dreyfuss said "I had so much fun with Jenna Elfman during Krippendorf. The movie was not very good, but we had some fun."

On the set of this film, Richard Dreyfuss was interviewed for The Making of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' (2001) and he appears in this feature length documentary in the make-up and costume of James Krippendorf.

The name "Krippendorf" comes from Klaus Krippendorf, a renowned communications scholar best known for his work on the role of communication in social construction and design. The movie is based on a novel by Frank Parkin, who was himself a highly-regarded sociologist.

This was originally announced as a vehicle for Robin Williams.

Last cinema film of 'Zakes Mokaes'.
