Mamma Mia!/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

* [[Awesome, Dear Boy]]: Pierce Brosnan summed up his reason for doing the film as this: "Meryl Streep is starring."

* [[Casting Gag]]: An unintentional one: Pierce Brosnan also played [[James Bond]] in ''GoldenEye'', during which he remarked that Minnie Driver's character was singing very badly ('who's strangling the cat?'). The most diplomatic thing that can be said about him choosing to take a major singing part in this musical film is that Minnie Driver had to ''intentionally'' sing badly.

* [[Dawson Casting]]: Donna is supposed to be in her early forties, but Streep was nearly sixty when she did the role. In fact, nearly all of the middle-aged adults are played by actors close to retirement age. The only one who one could argue that averts this trope by actually being of the right age is Colin Firth, who was 48 at the time of filming.

* [[Non-Singing Voice]]: Averted. No voice doubles were cast. Whether this was a good idea (in particular concerning Pierce Brosnan) is something people have argued about.

* [[Playing Against Type]]: Streep. Yes, [[Meryl Streep|the same Streep]] who starred in ''Sophie's Choice''. Then again, one could argue that she doesn't really ''have'' a type at this point.
