This way the movie is "based on the story" and doesnt have to be perfectly accurate. Its also less money to make. They wont have to pay any of the families for using their names. They also wont have to pay Cigarette for use of their name. I believe I read somewhere that they renamed the boats too.

If the movie is a success, Cigarette will wish they were featured in it! It would surely add some lore to the brand's history for the general public.
Like in the movie ET, they approached M&M's about being in the movie, they saw "alien movie" and passed. Reeses Pieces took the role and outsold M&M's that year for the first time......oooops.

Travolta had no career going for about a decade after the Grease/Urban Cowboy/ Stayin Alive/Sat. Night Fever era was over. Pulp Fiction jump started his career again! I can remember being in the theater when he had the shirtless scene (pulp fiction) and the whole theater gasped at the pasty fat guy on screen.......he was not the skinny italian looking kid from the other movies!
