MOVIE TRIVA

The Brothers Grimm (2005) (part 5)

According to the director, Matt Damon's hair style was based on the British TV chef Jamie Oliver.

The glass slippers are actually from Charles Perrault's French translation of Cinderella. In the Grimm adaptation, she wears gold slippers.

The director's son Harry Gilliam played a role as the stable-boy.

Steven Soderbergh did his own cut of the movie.
