Ian McKellen was originally cast as a composite character/narrator in this movie, but he had to drop out. Trivia: Laura Linney wears a wig and made her blue eyes brown. The production designer Richard Sherman told this story: He had had to build the Bloomington house. He'd had an eerie time getting the wallpaper. He'd gone to a shop specialising in replicas of old papers. Chose one. Turned it over, and on the back was printed the name Kinsey's Garden... "I can tell you, goose flesh went up my back." The shopkeeper was vague - it was some doctor famous for his garden. I told Sherman that this was correct. In the Twenties and Thirties, Kinsey was a fanatical gardener. Obsessive in whatever he collected - gall wasps, erotica, sex statistics - he grew 250 irises. People came from miles to see them. on the Set: Hand is looking at a jay in a tree, while Kinsey, gazing at him, says: "That's a mating call." The difficulty here was the bird. A short, thick-set man would gingerly climb into the tree, then shrink back for the scene to be shot. At once, the bird turned and dived into the lake and the man had to hurry down and rescue it. Time after time, he climbed up; time after time the suicidal bird dived into the lake. At last, he went and got another bird that sensibly sat tight. Articles: Linney and Neeson's Mutual Admiration Society Sun, Nov 23, 2003, 10:11 PM PT http://www.zap2it.com/movies/news/story/0,1259,---19562,00.html LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Laura Linney and Liam Neeson have a lot to say about each other's bodies. And they're doing it on national television. The actors have become friends after working on three projects together in the past year, including the romantic comedy "Love Actually" currently in theaters. Appearing on "The View" Thursday (Nov. 20), Linney stated that she was shocked that Johnny Depp beat Neeson for the title of Sexiest Man Alive bestowed by People magazine. "He should be on the cover. I've had the distinct pleasure of spending an enormous amount of time with this man over the last year because we've worked a lot together," Linney told the studio audience. Neeson quickly chimed in, "Laura has the best breasts of anyone in [Love Actually]." Keeping pace, Linney said, "He has a great a**. When we were doing "The Crucible" last year together there was a huge issue about a pair of pants you didn't like because you thought they made your a** look big. I thought it looked great." The pair (all four of them) will be seen alongside each other in Bill Condon's "Kinsey" due in the theaters next year. Andover Cave from NJ Herald , August 5, 2003 By MARY PAOLUCCI ANDOVER TWP. - Unbeknownst to many, Hollywood made its way to Sussex County Monday when filming for the upcoming movie "Kinsey" took place in a quiet alcove in the woods off of Limecrest Road. "Quiet on the set!" echoed across the valley as leading actors, Liam Neeson ("Schindler's List") and Laura Linney ("The Mothman Prophecies"), repeatedly practiced their lines. The filming, which took place at the mouth of a cave from 8 a.m. until after 6 p.m., was long and tedious as about 85 movie staff and crew workers milled around the set checking sound and lighting to ensure that filming ran smoothly. The movie, which is scheduled to appear in theaters in 2004, is a controversial drama in which Neeson plays Alfred Kinsey, a professor who studies insects. In the scene taped Monday, Neeson, as Kinsey, takes his girlfriend, played by Linney, to a cave to ask her to marry him. The two mega movie stars rehearsed their lines over again until the scene was perfect and the director called "cut." Other actors to star in the movie, but who were not on location Monday include John Lithgow ("Orange County," "3rd Rock from the Sun") Chris O'Donnell ("Batman Forever") and Tim Curry ("Charlie's Angels," "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"). According to the movieÕs local scene filmed was to take place in 1927 by the mouth of a cave. Ciric found Monday's cave by calling the New Jersey Film Commission which put her in touch with local cave conservationist Wayne Russell. The cave is privately owned by a local resident of the township, according to Russell, who picked out three caves in the county for director Bill Condon to look at. Condon chose the Limecrest cave within a matter of hours because of its easy access to the main roadway and its mystical qualities, according to Ciric. The cave, hollowed into a wall of jutting rocks, sits in the valley of the woods surrounded by tall, slender trees and a winding brook that eddies through a small fissure nearby. The rock formation and the cave look like they were formed many years ago, untouched by man. "It had to look sort of magical," Ciric said. "And this cave does that."
