("Just Like the Good Old Days in the Ring" ), ''The New York Times'', March 18, 2011. Accessed July 25, 2012. ""I just called Joe and said, ‘Let’s develop a movie based on New Providence wrestling,’ " Mr. McCarthy said.... Because of tax credits, they shot on Long Island rather than in New Providence. But they scouted locations tirelessly, most notably the office and home that Mr. Giamatti’s character shuttles between.... Though the locations might have been fudged, the filmmakers kept New Providence High School in the film by using its banners, uniforms and wrestling mats, an effort facilitated by one of their former classmates, who’s now the school’s principal."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas McCarthy (actor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
