November 2007 : We've
revamped our TRIVIA section to include
cool facts and trivia about Home of the Giants, plus the significant milestones
in its journey from script to screen. Here's the latest entry...
DID
YOU KNOW? |
| ASPECT
RATIO : Director Rusty Gorman chose to film Home
of the Giants in an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 ( instead of 2.33 :1 which is also
called wide-screen ) because basketball is a vertical game and he did not want
to stretch the frame too far horizontally . |

29th
October 2007 : Ryanne,
webmaster for the Official
Ryan Merriman Website, posted an interesting observation and question
about Home of the Giants at the Official
Haley Joel Osment Message Board.
We
have seen 4 different runtimes so far:
92 minutes (variety.com)
101 minutes
(hollywoodreporter)
102 minutes (CFF)
104 minutes (HFF)I
wonder which is the real one. |
|
The
answer can be found right here in our TRIVIA section.
As confirmed by director Rusty Gorman and editor Dan Schalk, the correct ( and
official ) runtime for Home of the Giants is 104 minutes . It looks
like the recently concluded Heartland Film Festival is the only one to have gotten
the runtime for Home of the Giants correct !
