TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

When co-producer Vibeke Windeløv went to the U.S. for casting, she got a tip that Danny Glover might be interested. She immediately flew to a hotel in Salt Lake City to meet up with him. After a long talk about the project, Glover asked her for a copy of Dogville (2003). She gave him a portable DVD player with it, and left him for the night. At 6:00 a.m., Glover called her hotel room and said she had to come immediately because the DVD player's battery had run out twenty minutes before the end of the movie. She rushed to his room with a charger, and after he'd watch it through, he said yes on the spot.

The second film in Lars von Trier's third trilogy titled "USA - Land of Opportunities". The two other parts are Dogville (2003) and Wasington, which (as of April 2019) hasn't been made.

Nicole Kidman, who played Grace in Dogville (2003), was intended to star in this movie, as well as a third trilogy installment, but pulled out of the project in July 2003, due to conflicting schedules.

In an interview with Cigar Aficionado, James Caan stated he did not reprise his role as Grace's father from Dogville (2003) because Nicole Kidman dropped out, and because he feels that writer and director Lars von Trier "is very anti-American, so screw him. I'm very pro-America. I'm a conservative, basically."

John C. Reilly was originally signed to play Dr. Hector, but was replaced by Zeljko Ivanek during production. A donkey was put to death while filming, and it was reported in the U.S. magazine Entertainment Weekly that this was what prompted Reilly to walk off the set, though he has never commented publicly on the incident, or his exact reasons for leaving this movie. Executive producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen told Swedish media that "people should not be upset, instead they should think about the situation of the Third World." Since this movie was filmed in Sweden, they followed Swedish law, which says that animals can be put to death in movie productions, if a veterinarian is the one carrying out the killing. Writer and director Lars von Trier cut the scene from this movie, which was attributed to protests from animal rights groups. von Trier said that he didn't want to draw attention away from the content of this movie.

Popular Dialogues

"Grace Margaret Mulligan: There's nothing to be afraid of. We've taken all of the family's weapons. Wilhelm: No. I'm afraid of what will happen now. I feel we ain't ready - for a completely new way of life. At Manderlay we slaves took supper at seven. When do people take supper when they're free? We don't know these things."

"Wilhelm: Just as you thought the notion of community would be good for us, you were so sure that you've permitted yourself to use force to convince us. I'd be sorry if we have to do likewise. Grace Margaret Mulligan: What do you mean? Do you intend to keep me prisoner? Wilhelm: Only until you understand what you wanted us to understand. The gate has been repaired and is closed. The fences are in good shape, but of course they aint particularly high. Those fences... come on. Two men with a rusty shot gun and a toy pistol. How dumb do you really think we are?"
