Of all the things that the Internet can offer us, none deserve more recognition than the truckload of movie trivia and information that you can find behind the scenes. If you really want the good stuff, then you have to turn to these movie trivia websites.
For: Finding out which star turned down which role for whatever reason.
Ever wondered about the casting choices made in certain movies? At Notstarring.com, you can find out which actor or actress turned out an offered role in a successful movie (ouch!) and perhaps pondered about what would have happened if the role went to someone else.
For: Finding mistakes, bloopers and inside stories of what survived the editor’s cut.
Movie productions involve film crews who have their own jobs and tasks and sometimes they mess up. Sometimes, these Movie Mistakes end up in the final cut. If you are interested in things like this, you’d be glad to know that you are not alone.
For: Finding out if your favorite show has survived another year.
Ever watched a series and notice that they wrapped up real quick, not really giving you any answers to your burning questions, Lost-style? The whole situation reeks of ‘cancellation’, and that’s when this site would be able to help you make sense of it all.
For: Finding out who voiced your favorite animated characters.
What does Bart Simpson, Jimmy Neutron and Timmy Turner have in common? They are voiced by women! Voice actors are a talented bunch we usually take for granted. Their versatility with their voice speaks volumes when it comes to breathing life into our favorite animated characters.
For: Keeping you in the loop when it comes to Awards Season.
Are you a sucker for the golden statuettes that mark excellence in all aspects of film and entertainment? Then, you’d love Awards Circuit, a site which keeps track of possible nominations in all the categories even before and after Awards Season.
For: Watching trailers, teasers and TV clips and featurettes.
The cinematography of movies have exploded way beyond our wildest imaginations, and trailers help capture some of that magic in a small bite-sized package that movie lovers consume while waiting for their movies to hit the silver screen. Nowadays, you can even do that on your laptop.
For: Keeping up with upcoming, pre-released movies and TV shows.
Can’t wait for the news to come to you? Movie Insider is a great place for tracking news about upcoming movies at any stage of production. Also available are trailers, behind-the-scenes production photos and even an interactive map that shows you active filming sites.
Over at ComingSoon.Net you find the latest news, reviews and previews of upcoming movies and TV shows. Also here are the latest images from a set that is filming, exclusive interviews with the film crew and box office numbers.
For: Getting the ending even without watching the movie.
Not satisfied with Wikipedia’s version of a movie plot or did you miss an important detail in the show you caught and just want to clear up all your doubts? Head over to The Movie Spoiler to get your fill of any more than 1000 mainstream movie titles.
A similar but greatly dressed down site, MoviePooper! does the same and you can even send in your request for someone else to fill in the blanks of the movie for you.
Love the score you heard during one of the more touching scenes in the movie? You can check out the name, composer, songwriter and any other score-related matters and even listen to music clips for free.
If for some reason you want to find the full movie script for a movie or TV show, Simply Scripts is the place to go to. Not all of them are the final edited version. Some of them are raw or second versions but they are available for free.
The scripts housed at Daily Script are available in plain text format or PDF but the database of scripts available there stop coming in past the year 2010. Still it contains a lot of links to other similar script-housing sites.
You’ll find comics and movie reviews here, but fans usually come for the ‘other ending’ made by this site which gives you an alternate ending that is sometimes more satisfying than the original.
Another site that pokes fun in the plotholes of popular movies, turning the script shorter, funnier and sometimes making more sense than the real storyline itself.
