Although smart people (read: not an idiot like me) would already know this from IMDB, there were things that I didn’t know about ‘Good Will Hunting’ ’til I saw it again this weekend:
- It was directed by Gus Van Sant (same guy who directed Elephant…no? ok, how about Milk? still nothing? seriously, you need to go watch something other than a Michael Bay movie)
- Casey Affleck was there. (did you know he was in the American Pie franchise as well?)
- Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier were co-producers of this film. Not surprising considering Kevin, Matt and Ben knew each other for quite a while now, but that the View Askew productions have this movie in their repertoire alongside Mallrats and Jay and Silent Bob The Movie is mind-boggling.
- The in-classroom shot in the first 5 minutes in the movie was filmed in one of the classrooms in Maclennan Physical labs at University of Toronto, specifically the same room where I spent time dozing off to Physics 100 and CSC373. Apparently, most of the interior scenes of MIT and Harvard was shot at U of T as well.
