Nobodys chasing you. -Carl Hanratty and Frank Abagnale, Jr. (Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me If You Can) Did you know? According to the real Frank Abagnale Jr. approximately 80 percent of the movie is true. The film shows Frank Abagnale Jr. on the FBIs Most Wanted list. In real life, however, he never made the list - its reserved for violent criminals. The FBI officer who was chasing Frank was really Joe Shea. Frank Abagnale Jr. used the pseudonym Sean OReilly in his book because Joe Shea was still in the F. B. I. He has since passed away. To get her to achieve the way he wanted her to sloppily kiss Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg asked Amy Adams to pretend she was starving to death and eating a cheeseburger. When Frank Abagnale Jr. begins recruiting decoy flight attendants; when announcing the girls picked he announces the actresses by real name. Steven Spielbergs original choice for the role of Frank Abagnale Jr. was Johnny Depp. Until he saw the results of Leonardo DiCaprios work, the real Frank Abagnale Jr. didnt think DiCaprio was suave enough to play him. According to costume designer Mary Zophres, there were about 130 day-players (bit part actors) and 3,000-4,000 background extras employed, and Leonardo di Caprio had 100 costume changes, through the film. All road and concrete surfaces are wet in every shot, even though all scenes take place in sunny weather. Many cinematographers simply prefer the look of wet roads. The story of Frank Abagnale Jr.s exploits had one of the longest and most difficult journeys from its first pitch to its eventual production. In 1981 it was originally announced that his story would be filmed and that Frank would be played by Dustin Hoffman. The Aston Martin DB5 that was seen in the movie was sourced by Autosport Designs, Inc. of Huntington Station, New York, a specialist exotic car dealership. Dreamworks contacted Autosport Designs and asked if they could supply a silver DB5. However they did not have one in stock and instead contacted a customer and arranged for his car to be used. The car is the same make and model used in the movie Goldfinger, one of Steven Spielbergs personal favorite films. The production made use of around 157 locations throughout North America. During the scene where Frank Abagnale Jr. gets his suit tailored to resemble James Bond, he refers to himself as Mr. Fleming. This is in reference to Ian Fleming, the original author of the James Bond books.
