12 The Origin of Monkeys

The title of Terry Gilliam’s Twelve Monkeys is inspired by Frank Baulm’s novel: The witch of the day in which the king convinces twelve monkeys to become his soldiers.

Stars without dollars

Terry Gilliam wanted to keep the spirit of a small production alive, so he asked his two star actors Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt (an actor you can test yourself for here too) to renegotiate their royalties downward: Willis was paid a percentage. Income and Brad Pitt received half a million dollars, three times less than he could ask for then.

Photos of Bruce Willis

Terry Gilliam gave Bruce Willis a list of “Willis acting clichés”, or “Willis acting clichés”, not to use during the film. Including “blue eyes with a steely gaze”.

Smoking kills

Terry Gilliam was afraid that Brad Pitt did not have enough nervous and quick phrases to embody his character, so he asked him to train with a coach. Finally, Gilliam asked Pitt to stop smoking and he was able to perform his role exactly as the director had envisioned.
