John Hindman Quote
Regarding the movie name: "Well, you know, it's really hard to come up with names when you're writing a screenplay. "Arlen" just sounded like an interesting name to me. I have a bunch of kids so I have baby name books lying around and I liked the name "Arlen." It sounded kind of like a '40s or '50s name for a character, and then "Faber" was the brand of pencil that was sitting on my desk."ComingSoon.net: Arlen Faber... (January 8, 2009)
