E: 02/07 WEEKLY DVDs

http://www.youmakethemovies.co.uk./Competition-entry

Deadline for each week's draw is Fri night. Please can someone bump with the new question/answer each week if I don't get chance. I'll PM Gilla and ask her to add this to the weekly comps.

Jaws earned the nickname 'Flaws' amongst the crew due to its massive filming delays. The shoot was scheduled to last for 55 days - how many days did it ultimately take?:*

not sure of the answer, seem to find different ones when googling? I think 159 days is the closest I've found though.:confused:

too many comps..not enough time!

    Imdb agrees on 159


    "As the shoot ballooned from 55 days to 159, with the budget likewise spiralling, the film earned the nickname amongst the crew of "Flaws"."

    On Wikipedia is says this

    'The film would not have been made without former Beatle and Python fan George Harrison who set up Handmade Films to help fund it at a cost of £3 million'

    This weeks answer: 520

    taken from here

    260 visual effects artists worked on the trilogy,[2] and the number would double by The Two Towers.

    The prize draw for DVDs will be run weekly from 10th April to 2nd July.

    I'll PM a board guide to get this moved back over.
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T
