"Happy Endings Are Stories That Haven't Ended Yet" is a quote by Jane Smith, played by Angelina Jolie, from the 2005 action film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", much like how "Champagne's for Celebrating (I'll Have a Martini)", from their debut album, "A Lesson in Romantics" (2007), was a quote by John Smith, played by Brad Pitt, from the same movie. "Everything's an Illusion" is a quote from the 2011 film "Water for Elephants". 
Woodhall was a body double for Brad Pitt in a fight scene in the movie Snatch, directed by Guy Ritchie. He trained Matthew Marsden for his role in the movie "Shiner". 
In the 1994 movie "Legends of the Fall", the character Samuel (Henry Thomas) is killed while serving in the Canadian army in World War I. His brother (Brad Pitt) cuts the heart out of the body and sends it home to be buried on his father's ranch in Montana. 
Mellencamp has made several forays into acting over the years, appearing in four films: "Falling from Grace" (which he also directed) (1992), "Madison" (2001, narration only), "After Image" (2001), and "Lone Star State of Mind" (2002). His older brother, Joe Mellencamp, appears in "Falling from Grace" as the bandleader during the country club scene along with his band Pure Jam. In 1980, Mellencamp turned down the lead role in the movie "The Idolmaker" because, as he told the "Toledo Blade" in 1983, "I was afraid that if I made too much money, I'd have no motivation to make records anymore. "Mellencamp told VH1 that he was originally offered the Brad Pitt role in Thelma and Louise: "You know they used to want me to be an actor all the time and I used to get more movie role offers. That's when I was – believe it or not, I used to not be as ugly as I am now. And they gave me this script called "Thelma & Louise" and they said, 'The guy wrote the part with you in mind, John, you really gotta do this part.' And I read the script and I thought, 'Yeah, I get it but I don't want to take my shirt off.' So Brad Pitt took his shirt off and look what happened to Brad Pitt. I was that close. "In April 2007, Mellencamp was a "guest critic" on "At the Movies", filling in for Roger Ebert. 
"The Devil's Own" is a 1997 American action thriller movie starring Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Rubén Blades, Natascha McElhone, Julia Stiles and Treat Williams. It was the final film directed by Alan J. Pakula. A member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army comes to the United States in order to obtain anti-aircraft missiles to be used to shoot down British helicopters in Northern Ireland. The plan is thwarted by an Irish-American policeman.
