THINK! Have you heard of the Guinness World Records? Do you know any film records?
| FILM RECORDS The record books are full of great film trivia, but only gossip about stars is usually heard. I like the gossip, but what about the film trivia we aren’t told about? Some film records are much more interesting. For example, did you know that Robert Downey Jr. was paid more than any other actor for his role as Iron Man in the Avengers films (the huge sum of eighty million US dollars)? And I bet you can’t guess which film has the record for the most tickets sold! I was amazed! Well, apparently more cinema tickets were sold for Gone with the Wind, a 1930s romance, than for any other film. I haven’t even seen it but it sounds terrible! The classic science fiction film Star Wars is a close second, and I’m sure that it’s a much better movie. 1 Quickly read the blog and find the author’s opinion on the following names? 1 Robert Downey Jr. 2 Gone with the Wind 3 Ashish Sharma 4 Bāhubali 2🔊 2.30Read and listen to the blog again. Choose the correct answers. 1 The writer believes that gossip about film stars ... a is usually only about awards that stars win. b is less interesting than some other film facts. c isn’t interesting. 2 Gone with the Wind ... a is not a modern film. b holds many film records. c made eighty million dollars. 3 Ashish Sharma ... a plans to watch the film that will be 120 hours long. b has watched forty-eight films in his lifetime. c has had a film record for several years.
| One truly unbelievable film record Another film-related record from India is about the world’s largest film poster. It was made to advertise India’s biggest action film of 2015, Bāhubali. The size of it is extraordinary! At nearly 5,000 square metres, it’s more than half the size of a professional football pitch! It wasn’t made in the usual way. It was designed by the film’s director S. S. Rajamouli and it was made by a team of thirty people who worked around the clock for three days. |
