Trivia
Eadweard Muybridge was born Edward James Muggeridge. He began using the last name Muybridge in 1865 and the old English spelling, Eadweard, of his first name in 1882. He also used the pseudonym Helios for some of his early photography.

Goofs
The movie places the murder committed by Muybridge during his time doing motion studies, which occurred in the 1880s and early 1890s in Philadelphia. The murder actually occurred in 1874 in Calistoga, California and his trial took place in 1875, both years before the motion studies.

Quotes
Edison: And all over a bet you've discovered motion?
Eadweard Muybridge: Discovered? Now, how do you discover something that's always been?

A little Biased...

I have seen many short clips of this movie and love them all. I have yet to see the movie in it's entirety, but feel a little biased as those were my own little piglets used for this movie... One of these days I will see the whole thing in one go...
