Yeah, I can't imagine putting together a production like that. It must have been like coordinating an army. I read a while back about the challenges of making it, but I don't really remember any of it. It's a small miracle the idea worked at all. There's a documentary about the making called In One Breath. I've never seen it, but I've always been curious. On a side note, the movie is what most people would consider "slow," but I think most people still enjoy it. The lack of cuts and the continuous movement keeps you interested the whole way through. And it looks incredible from start to finish. There's always some new detail (or several new details) to look at while the camera floats around.

Indeed. I've been curious to see if Hollywood will find a way to co-opt this, kind of like they did with that one Mike Figgis movie and 24 (which came out a year or so later, IIRC).
It would be near impossible to turn that into a Hollywood movie for so many reasons. I think it's safe. Since you bring it up, it drives me crazy when Hollywood remakes another movie exactly because Americans aren't willing to read subtitles. That really is the only reason. Well, and money. Some that come to mind are The Departed (originally Infernal Affairs) and Let Me In (Let the Right One In). At least Michael Haneke did his own remake of Funny Games.
I thought Funny Games was virtually shot for shot?
