re: #306 ryannon

Like you, I’m not attracted by violence to any kind of animal. I don’t think I could have watched that scene if I thought they were real frogs - and I was right:

SPOILER: Over 7,900 rubber frogs were made and used in the frog scenes. The rest were created by CGI. No real frogs were harmed during production.

SPOILER: Paul Thomas Anderson has said that he was unaware that the story of frogs falling from the sky is in the Bible (he took it from Charles Fort’s writing) when he wrote the screenplay. The Bible story of the plague of frogs was brought to his attention by Henry Gibson prior to filming. After he became aware of the story, Anderson worked references to Exodus 8:2 into the movie.

By the way, it’s an excellent film.

Probably Tom Cruise’s best role…..
