The Green Mile/Trivia

The book provides Trivia of:

 * Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: At the time the first installment was released to the public, King hadn't even figured out the ending yet... but still a set release scheduled for it.

The movie provides Trivia of:

 * The Danza: Averted; Harry Dean Stanton was in the movie but played neither Harry Terwilliger nor Dean Stanton.
 * Dawson Casting: The actor who played Percy, who is supposed to be 21, was 39 at the time. Also, Wild Bill was 19 in the novel, and was played by a 31 year old in the movie.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!:
 * Barry Pepper and David Morse as Dean Stanton and Brutus Howell.
 * Mr. Noodle as Delacroix; Zaphod Beeblebrox as William Wharton.
 * Don't forget Eugene Victor Tooms as Percy!
 * Percy left the insane asylum, and found his redemption on the Island by leading the Dharma Initiative.
 * Harry Terwilliger and the father of the two dead girls are a D.A. and Heywood, respectively (Heywood, aka William Sadler, is considered by Frank Darabont a 'good luck charm').
 * How ironic-- Andrei Chikatilo thinks that the testimony of the rape and murder of the two girls would "make your blood curdle".
 * Man, Tritter really is Brutal!
 * Sam Bell is Wild Bill?! Guess he didn't take that whole 'return vehicle' thing well...
 * What about the conversation in the movie between Lieutenant Dan and Forrest Gump?
 * Scully Box: To make 6'5" Michael Clarke Duncan taller. Specifically, to tower over David Morse (Brutal, 6'4") and James Cromwell (Warden Moores); at 6'7", Cromwell is one of the tallest actors in Hollywood, but you wouldn't know it from this movie.
 * Throw It In: As Del is getting ready to be electrocuted, he recites to himself the Hail Mary prayer in Cajun French; Michael Jeter ad-libbed this.
