Elysium

Oh, wow...where to begin? Well, the most interesting fact for me, personally, was more about Guillermo del Toro's associations with Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro Gonzáles Iñarritu and their whole little close knit group of actors that they always use...like how at first, del Toro had the lead actress from All About My Mother cast as Mercedes and Alfonso Cuarón jumped in before he could contact her and insisted that he check out this other actress that he had used in Y Tú Mamá También instead and wouldn't lay off until she was cast (it was a cuuuute story, Guillermo apparently sent flowers to Alfonso afterwards with a teasing note about how grateful he was to have such a nagging "wife"). Um...the location where they filmed was actually where Guillermo took his daughter on their first country trip when they moved to Spain and apparently the way she kept saying it was like a fairy tale was part of the inspiration for the movie (or at least using that particular location). There's tons more that actually has to do with the film itself, like more complete stories about the underground kingdom, but 4 chapters of Music Business reading zapped my brain. I'll remember tomorrow...
