Memento Trivia Teddy's phone number is 555-0134, the same as Marla Singer's in Fight Club. The tattoo parlor "Emma's Tattoos" was named after Emma Thomas, the associate producer of Memento and Nolan's wife. Memento was shot in only 25 days. When the shell casing rolls into frame in the opening scene, Chris Nolan really blew it out of frame. Since the camera had the film running backward for the filming of this scene, this particular shot later had to be reversed. So it's actually a shot of a simulated reversal, recorded backwards, and then manually reversed to get the desired effect. Chris Nolan's white Honda Civic can be seen parked next to Leonards Jaguar at the motel in one of the first scenes. The camera Leonard Shelby uses is a Polaroid 690. Christopher Nolan wanted to cast Alec Baldwin as Leonard Shelby, but Baldwin wanted too much money. |
