Trivia / Brick

• Breakthrough Hit: For Rian Johnson, leading to major gigs on Breaking Bad, Star Wars, and his own Benoit Blanc series.
• The Danza: Emily Kostich is played by Emilie de Ravin.
• Dawson Casting: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emilie de Ravin, Meagan Good, and Nora Zehetner were all born in 1981. Brian White, who plays Brad Bramish, was thirty. Noah Fleiss, who plays Tug, was twenty-one. Averted with Matt O'Leary (The Brain), who was eighteen at the time.
• Fake American: Emilie de Ravin does a terrific American accent — so good, in fact, that many who were introduced to her through this film thought that her Australian accent on Lost was fake.
• No Budget: Made for around $500,000, and most of that was put towards shooting it on 35mm film.
