1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Lovely Bones (2009)?
a.		Mascot pretty much pioneered the two-director approach to serials with this film, a system much copied by other studios (Republic, Columbia, Universal) for their own serial output. One director, an action specialist (in this case B. Reeves Eason), would shoot all the outdoor action and stunt scenes. A second director, more suited to handling dialogue scenes (in this case, Armand Schaefer), would simultaneously shoot all the interiors and dialogue scenes. In this way production time was halved, at considerable savings. Levines main concern was keeping star Tom Mixs time spent filming to a minimum, as he was paying Mix $10,000 a week. Because of Levines efficient production methods, he was able to keep Mixs shooting schedule down to four weeks.
b.		Lynne Ramsay was interested in directing the film before Peter Jackson acquired the rights to the novel.
