TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Richard Stanley has said that the documentary is 60% accurate. He noted that some details happened to different people and some darker events are glossed over. He also said that, contrary to the film, he never had four lumps of sugar in his tea.

When being interviewed on a podcast, Ron Perlman said that he declined being part of this documentary because he didn't want to say anything negative because he didn't know everything that happened between the fallout between Richard Stanley and New Line. He did say that for the short amount of time that they had, he loved working with Stanley and wished that he could've stayed on the project.

David Thewlis and Ron Perlman were both approached to be interviewed in this documentary, but turned said offers down.

Famous British explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley, who may or may not have been the inspiration for the main character in Joseph Conrad's classic novel Heart of Darkness, is a direct ancestor of director Richard Stanley.

Popular Dialogues

"Fairuza Balk: What people choose to do in the name of politics, which means in the name of money - there are no morals. There is no integrity at all. They'd sell their child down the river for money."

"Richard Stanley: Knowing that the odds were stacked against me, I resorted to witchcraft."
