Arrow Some tidbits on the Reunion Movie

I asked the director of the movie some questions and he gladly answered them and gave me a few more tidbits:

The 'Peace on Earth' line was added (at the request of Charlotte Rae) after the 11th.

All the outdoor scenes in Peekskill and the train station were shot as the WTC went down.

During the final half hour, they were number one in the ratings (he said the ratings were very good thanks to you guys). This means more and more people came on board to watch and the ratings were affected by that football game that went down to the final play.

Kim Fields noticed the payphone was missing and improvised the missing payphone line for everybody.

If anyone else has any other questions, please let me know and I'll pass them along - he said he would try and answer them. I asked him who was in that photo that Kim Fields held up of her deceased husband but I don't think he knew.

Thanx for those answers TJ!

I have a question. In the line rick said about Jo being with someone from her DIVISION. Then Nat says Aww, I haven't seen her in a LIFETIME. Does either of these lines have to do with Nancy's current role on The Division? If so, could you tell me a little of how these were 'made up'?

Thanx again TJ, you da man!

Thanks for the info, TJ!

Could you ask him if Nancy really was set to make a cameo, but the events of September11 prevented her from doing so.
Also, thank him for doing such an icredible job on the movie!

I've heard a rumor that George Clooney was going to make a cameo to help Raymond fix the leak, but he couldn't make it due to 9/11. Can you confirm or (most likely) deny this for us?

Actually, it was. I thought it was just a normal picture at first, but if you look carefully, you'll see that it's on Mrs. G.'s laptop, so she uses it as a background for the screen!

No offense "Felony", but the whole 'division'-'lifetime' thing was an obvious inside joke. Plus Whelchel said in an interview that Cohn came up with the 'lifetime' part. Which is one of the things I really liked baout the movie - so many inside jokes aimed directly at the Facts fans. In other words , they did it just for us.

I have yet to hear that interview. However, I loved ALL the inside jokes that only true 'lifers' would catch. It really made and makes the reunion incredibly fun to watch
