  MINORITY REPORT 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Minority Report is a 2002 science fiction thriller directed by Steven Spielberg, set in a dystopian future where a specialized police unit, PreCrime, prevents crimes before they occur. The system relies on three psychics, called "Precogs," who foresee murders, allowing the police to apprehend perpetrators before they commit the crime. The story follows John Anderton, the head of PreCrime, who is accused of a future murder and becomes a fugitive. The film explores themes of free will versus determinism, the morality of preemptive justice, and the ethical implications of surveillance and control in a highly technological society. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The "Precogs" were named after famous mystery writers: Dashiell Hammett, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christie.” 
    
  “For the scene where Anderton holds his breath in the bathtub, Steven Spielberg planned to create the rising air bubble using CGI, but Tom Cruise took the time to learn how to do it himself.” 
    
  “Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg both agreed to waive their usual salary to help keep the film's budget under $100 million. Instead, they agreed to take 15% of the film's gross.” 
    
  “Initially, Steven Spielberg wanted Greta (Dr. Eddie’s assistant) to sing a song by ABBA, but Peter Stormare suggested something more absurd: the Swedish children's song "Små grodorna" ("The Small Frogs"), traditionally sung during Midsummer Eve parties in Sweden.”

  Truth is Still Out There The:...

  In September 1993, a TV show like no other appeared on our screens, asking us to consider the essence of truth and belief, to think about the nature and roles of science and humanity, and to question what we were told by those in power. Combining horror, science fiction, drama, crime, and comedy with cinematic filmmaking, The X-Files transported the paranoia of the sixties and seventies to the technologically savvy nineties as it followed two iconic characters, FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, in their labyrinthine pursuit of truth. Further, The X-Files reversed conventional television gender roles: Mulder was our believer in the paranormal, chasing down clues in search of his abducted sister; Scully was the skeptic, a scientist preaching rationality and objective truth. Now, thirty years later, the nature of conspiracy theories may have changed, but the anxiety surrounding them has not. In an era in which Watergate has been replaced by Gamergate and conspiracy theorists blindly embrace the myth of a stolen election and maintain that an all-powerful cabal of Satanic Democrats—defeatable by only one man—is preying on children, The X-Files remains as relevant as ever.

  1996: My Backstage Pass to The...

  1996. Britpop ruled the airwaves. The tabloids framed reality long before Instagram. Football was finally coming home. Tony Blair was learning to play rock star – and rock stars were learning they could play politics. Everyone was partying hard, and Britain was the coolest place on earth.  
  Showbiz reporter Dominic Mohan wasn’t watching the party from afar – he was in the room. 
  Backstage at Knebworth with Oasis. In strip clubs with Robbie Williams. On the phone to Bowie. On the receiving end of Spice Girls gossip, Gallagher gobbiness and tabloid-era chaos. From Euro ’96 euphoria to Brit Awards anarchy, from rave culture to New Labour, Mohan witnessed the moment the UK went from scruffy indie island to global cultural powerhouse. 
  Part memoir, part cultural autopsy and part riotous tour through the 90s and its greatest year, 1996 is a jaw-dropping front-row seat to the madness, the music, the football, and the politics that reshaped Britain – and created legends along the way. 
  Three decades on, Mohan returns to the year everything peaked, and asks: what the hell happened, why did it matter, and can it ever happen again? 
  If you were there – this book will feel like going home. 
  If you weren’t – you’ll wish you had been.
