Sicario Fact 9: In Brazil the film was sold as ‘Sicario: No Man’s Land’. Greece featured the subtitle ‘The Executor’, Hungary subtitled it ‘The Assassin’, Malaysia ‘The Mexican Hitman’ while Portugal felt the need to add the word ‘Infiltrate’ to the title. Russians forewent the original title altogether and called the film ‘Mercenaries’ while in Vietnam it was known as ‘Boundary’.

Sicario Fact 10: Mexico City standing in as Juarez as the actual city was too dangerous to be filmed. All the scenes taking place in Arizona, and any scenes taking place in rural Mexico, were all filmed in New Mexico.

Sicario Fact 11: Josh Brolin agreed to be in the film, solely because he wanted to work with Roger Deakins again.

Sicario Fact 12: Upon its release the Mayor of Ciudad Juarez called for a boycott of the film as it portrayed the town in a bad light. He claims the 8-a-day cartel-related deaths had not been the case since 2010, and many protestors went to the border holding up placards which declared they were ‘not hitmen’.

Sicario Fact 5: For the sequence involving the thermal and night vision goggles, a props man heated the soles of his shoes so his footprints would register more prominently throughout the length of the shot. Two systems were used: one for night vision and one for thermal imaging, in order to differentiate between the two POVs. The thermal vision shots were filmed with a FLIR SC8300 thermal vision camera; they were not added in post-production.

Sicario Fact 6: Actress Emily Blunt was so sick from food poisoning whilst filming in Mexico that she required IV fluids between takes just to make it through her scenes. Her look of nervousness during the border scene was a result of her illness.

Sicario Fact 7: When Kate Mercer and her team enters a tunnel, Emily Blunt hits her head. Director Denis Villeneuve said in an interview that he left that take in since it added realness to the mission and the film itself.

Sicario Fact 8: Emily Blunt said in an interview that her character originally had a n**e scene but she refused to do it so producers took it out. Benicio Del Toro, whose character was also in the scene, supported her choice. He said that after working with her in Wolfman, they grew so close they were like brother and sister, so being naked together would have been very awkward.

Hello movie lovers! We are almost back for our next main event. And we are taking you from the streets of Boston to the Mexican desert. Come prepared with some facts.

Sicario Fact 1: Sicario is the first movie of Taylor Sheridan’s American Frontier Trilogy. The other two are Hell or High Water and Wind River.

Sicario Fact 2: Benecio Del Toro worked with the director on cutting as many of his lines from the film as possible in order to give his character more of a brooding presence. Ultimately, he thinks they may have omitted as much as 90% from the original script.

Sicario Fact 3: When discussing the score with composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, director Denis Villeneuve said he wanted the sound of a threat. The one film Villeneuve used as a comparison was director Steven Spielberg's Jaws.

Sicario Fact 4: The border crossing scene was one of the most complicated parts of the production. It took so long to shoot that a full scale replica of the Juarez border crossing was built. Shooting at the real location would have required days of road closures, which would not have been practical.

Departed Fact 9: Fitzy, notably the only character in the film with an Irish accent, is played by David O'Hara, a Scottish actor who's made a career out of playing Irish characters in American movies, e.g.: Braveheart and The Devil's Own.
Departed Fact 10: Mark Wahlberg easily fell back on his native accent. Martin Scorsese joked it was so thick, they'd need subtitles.

Departed Fact 11: Whenever anybody is killed onscreen or talks about murder, Scorsese had a hidden “X” positioned somewhere in the frame as an homage to the 1932 version of Scarface which does the same thing.

Departed Fact 12: The "f" word, and its derivatives, are used two hundred thirty-eight times.

Departed Fact 5: Jack Nicholson’s character is based on infamous Boston mob boss Wh**ey Bulger. Before he was captured in 2011, he was second only to Osama bin Laden on the FBI’s Most Wanted List and had a reward of $1 million for his capture.

Departed Fact 6: A lot of Costello's scenes were improvised. Nicholson was given the opportunity to do whatever he wanted to add to Costello's unpredictability. This resulted in Enforced Method Acting, as Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't sure what to expect in his scenes with Nicholson. The scene where Costigan and Costello are talking was loosely scripted, and many surprises happened in it, including Frank pulling out the gun.

Departed Fact 7: Martin Scorsese really wanted Al Pacino for the role of Costello, because he had never worked with Pacino before, but he turned it down. Jack Nicholson was Scorsese's second choice. Pacino would later go on to appear in Scorsese's The Irishman.

Departed Fact 8: Originally, Jack Nicholson turned down his role in the movie, but after a meeting with Martin Scorsese, William Monahan, and Leonardo DiCaprio, he was finally convinced to play the role of Frank Costello. The main reason he joined the production was because he had previously done a few comedies, and wanted to play a villain again, and he considered the character of Costello to be the ultimate incarnation of evil.

Hello movie lovers. Next week is St. Patrick’s Day and we hope we found the right movie to celebrate with you. Come prepared and wear something green. And learn a few facts to win cool prizes.

Departed Fact 1: The movie is loosely based on the real-life Boston Winter Hill Gang,but also an English-language remake of the Infernal Affairs. Screenwriter William Monahan and director Martin Scorsese claim they did not watch the 2002 Hong Kong action movie before making The Departed.

Departed Fact 2: Vera Farmiga met with a real LAPD psychiatrist to prepare for her role. The psychiatrist read the script, and told Farmiga that Madolyn did pretty much everything wrong.

Departed Fact 3: According to Martin Scorsese, the film was envisioned as a low-budget production, but the budget increased as more stars became attached. Roughly half of the $90 million budget went to the actors' salaries.

Departed Fact 4: When receiving the top award from the Director's Guild of America for this film, Martin Scorsese said that this "is the first movie I have ever done with a plot."

Blood Fact 9: Paul Dano was originally cast in the much smaller role of Paul Sunday, Eli's brother, and another actor had been cast as Eli. However, after Dano had already started filming his one scene as Paul Sunday, Paul Thomas Anderson decided to replace the actor playing Eli. Anderson then asked Dano to play Eli Sunday as well as Paul Sunday, and they decided to change the film to make the brothers identical twins.

Blood Fact 10: When discussing the production design for the film with Entertainment Weekly, Anderson explained how they had to build an 80-foot oil derrick and fill it with fake oil. The recipe for that oil, according to Anderson, included 'the stuff they put in chocolate milkshakes at McDonald’s.'

Blood Fact 11: While ‘There Will Be Blood’ is set in California, the film was shot in Marfa, Texas. One day while filming, they did a run-through of the scene where the oil derrick catches on fire, which filled the sky with smoke. This turned out to be a problem for the Coen Brothers, who happened to be shooting ‘No Country for Old Men’ around Marfa at the same time. They had to delay filming until the next day when the smoke dissipated.

Blood Fact 12: Director Paul Thomas Anderson owns a vintage 1910 Pathe camera which contains a special forty-three millimetre lens. The lens was specially modified to be used in the film as it has very low resolution and can shift colors at corners. Only certain shots of the film used this lens; for example a shot of Plainview sleeping in the train with an infant H.W.

Blood Fact 5: Sir Daniel Day-Lewis accepted the role of Daniel Plainview as he had been a fan of Paul Thomas Anderson's previous film, ‘Punch-Drunk Love’. According to producer JoAnne Sellar, the film might not even have been made at all if Day-Lewis declined the role.

Blood Fact 6: According to Paul Thomas Anderson, the director and crew were "pretty loose about where scenes would take place." This sometimes meant filming scenes three or four different times in different locations, and evaluating the result each time.

Blood Fact 7: Much like 'There Will Be Blood’ John Huston’s classic film 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre' is about greedy men in the wide-open West, though they are after gold instead of oil. Anderson found 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre’ quite an influence when working on his film. In fact, he said that he watched the movie every night while writing the screenplay.

Blood Fact 8: Sir Daniel Day-Lewis improvised the speech he gives to the citizens of Little Boston, about building schools, bringing bread to the town, etc. Paul Thomas Anderson says of this, "It was delicious. It was Plainview on a platter."

Hello movie lovers! It is almost time for our next main event. This time we check how wrong some dude on a podcast can be when watching ‘There will be blood’ together. But first we have some facts, as always.

Blood Fact 1: Paul Thomas Anderson was working on a screenplay about two warring families, but it wasn’t working for him. At the time, he was staying in London and was feeling homesick. He saw the cover for a copy of Upton Sinclair’s 'Oil!' that featured a California oilfield. Because of this, Anderson bought the book, and it inspired him to write his film.

Blood Fact 2: Although the script is based on the Upton Sinclair novel, Paul Thomas Anderson used only the first hundred and fifty pages for a big portion of the material. The rest was contrived. The novel's setting was in the 1920s but it was moved to the beginning of the oil boom in California.

Blood Fact 3: Every Wednesday night during editing, Paul Thomas Anderson and company would have just steak and straight vodka for dinner to keep in the mentality of Daniel Plainview.

Blood Fact 4: Philip Seymour Hoffman was the original actor in mind when Paul Thomas Anderson wrote the role of HM Tilford, but Anderson decided to cast David Warshofsky instead as a means of distancing himself from his past works and have a sort of rebirth in his career without any loose ends connecting him to other, more lighthearted films.
