How about films that have *never* been released like, "The Day the Clown Cried" (1972) or that movie with Johnny Carson?

On April 21, 1973, an innovative adventurer/filmmaker passed away, within 16 hours of the passing of the actor who portrayed a fictionalized version of that filmmaker in the most famous movie either ever made (together or separately).

Name the filmmaker, the actor, and the movie.

Hillary,

I'm dying here. I was thinking Robert Armstrong (King Kong/Mighty Joe Young), but don't think that's the answer and I don't get free movie passes.

Help, I'm intellectually impaired!

WE HAVE A WINNER! If only my undying respect. [Wink]

Yes, the filmmaker was Merian C. Cooper. Robert Armstrong's character in the Cooper/Shoedsack film "King Kong," Carl Denham, is based upon Cooper himself, and both men died within a day of each other.

Cooper's own life before movies should become a film in itself.

Good job, Robert! [thumbsup]

Hillary,

That was a wild assed guess (WAG).

Do I get the free passes?

Bonus round: Alternate answer could be Jack Black? [Smile]

"Dead Heat On A Merry-Go-Round" (1966) is frequently recognized as Ford's first film, but I don't know if that's the answer you're looking for.

What was Harrison Ford's first above-the-title credit?

Michael Coate WINS!

He played a "Bellboy", thus the Jerry Lewis Hint.

Congrats,
Rob

What film has the record for having its trailer issued the furthest in advance of the film's release?
quote: Brian Michael Weidemann
It was Cars, wasn't it?
What about THE SANTA CLAUSE 2, which had its trailer with 102 DALMATIANS, approximately 101 weeks before it was released?

Here's an easy one: Who was Quentin Tarantino's first choice to play Bill in KILL BILL?

On a boat crossing the Atlantic. (The world premiere, by the way, was held in Washington, DC, not New York.)

That's correct. I need to step up my game.

In BATMAN RETURNS, Batman's boot is a modified version of what shoe?
