Do you remember me?

Welcome to watch Mojo.

And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 times.

Studios took insane measures to keep movies.

Secrets.

I thought it was really the marketing was great.

You know, Everybody wanted to see it before I was even out.

Guys, associates a shield.

Like you said, a spook story.

This is how bad it is for me.

I was told it was a wedding for this list.

We'll be looking at movies with secrets so big that sometimes even members of the cast and crew were kept in the dark.

Of course, we can't talk about secrets without a few spoilers.

So consider this your warning.

Where these precautions totally justified or way too extreme.

Let us know in the comments.

Number 10 Top secret superhero casting.

She's, um, say my name.

Really?

No, not my name.

Know that saying the name that I say to turn into this guy?

Yeah.

When she is, um, first came out in April of 2019 fans weren't expecting to be introduced to five new superheroes.

In addition to the film's titular hero, and that was no accident.

Director David F.

Sandberg didn't want any information getting leaked about the Films Final Showdown, featuring grown up superhero versions of Billy Batson's foster siblings, which made casting these adult alter egos a challenge.

I'm sure in 20 years somebody like I played him one day.

Do you remember me?

Actors auditioning for the roles weren't given scenes from the script to read, but instead read entirely New Lions written to give the actors Justin idea of their character's personality without revealing any top secret plot information.

The plan worked as the actors they cast fit the rules perfectly, and the film's finale remained a secret.

I could fly Number nine marketing mysteries and theories.

Cloverfield, right?

Just don't know todo During the making of Cloverfield, J.

J.

Abrams and Paramount wanted to be entirely in control of how much information about the film was made public, and everything released was extremely calculated.

The first teaser was created using entirely unique footage specifically to inspire speculation about the film instead of using clips from the film itself.

It was a risky move, limiting the information available about the movie, but it definitely paid off the Internet went crazy over speculation about the film, specifically about what the mysterious monster would look like.

What?

Oh no oh this'll ed to packed theaters for opening weekend as fans eagerly waited to see if their theories were correct.

It's gonna be the best night ever.

Number eight, a post production funeral The Dark Knight Rises That's detonation with audience anticipation at an all time high.

All eyes were on Christopher Nolan and the production of this Batman Trilogies third installment, which made avoiding spoilers pretty tricky.

In particular, the funeral scene for Bruce Wayne toward the End had to be handled with great care so that anyone who happened to see the filming process would not leak information about the film's plot.

It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done.

Yeah, that is a far, far better rest that I go thio Mhm e I have ever known.

Nolan had the art department create a fake gravestone with the name of another character, Miranda Tate, written on it to be digitally replaced with Bruce Wayne later in postproduction.

Additionally, Christian Bale was called to set that day, so no one would suspect that the funeral was for his character.

Number seven.

Iron Man's Endgame ending Avengers Endgame nine.

Yeah, Iron Man.

With over 10 years of cinematic build up leading to this blockbuster film keeping plot secrets under wraps was a high stakes task.

Not everyone was trusted with handling.

We're gonna be OK.

You can rest Thief films Most closely guarded Secret was the filming of Tony Stark's funeral scene.

It was such an important scene that some of the cast, including known Blabber Mouths, Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland, were told that they were filming a wedding, not a funeral.

This is how bad it is for May.

I was told it was a wedding.

E you re watching that scene with this knowledge is a testament to the incredible filmmaking that went into this production.

As the somber funeral is so tragic and moving, one would never think it could be mistaken for a wedding.

Number six.

Drew Barrymore dies First scream.

You never told me your name.

Why do you want to know my name?

I want to know who I'm looking at.

Screen was a slasher flick unlike any that came before it.

Thanks to some carefully thought out and clever subversion of the horror genre itself.

The first example of this was early on in the film but had months of build up behind it.

Drew Barrymore was easily the film's biggest star, and being in all the trailers and posters leading up to the films released, it seemed like a guarantee she would be the movies Last Girl who would eventually survive.

In the end, someone is playing a deadly game.

It all began with a scream over 911 This seemed so inevitable that when Barry Moore's character was killed off in the first scene, audiences were completely blindsided.

Her death proved that no one was safe from the killer, not even a major celebrity.

Number five Bruce Willis becomes ambidextrous.

The Sixth Sense.

I see Dead people, Bruce Willis is left handedness almost gave away one of the biggest plot twists in film history, but luckily he was willing to go the extra mile to keep the ending of surprise.

In order to film a close up shot of Willis circling a passage in a book, the actor had to learn to write with his right hand instead of his dominant left so the viewers wouldn't notice his wedding ring was missing.

The audience wasn't supposed to notice the missing ring until the character himself notices at the end of the film, leading him to realize he's actually dead.

I see people they don't know they're dead.

Such a small detail could have easily been overlooked, but shows how much care was taken to keep the twist of surprise.

Number four.

A frighteningly realistic marketing campaign.

The Blair Witch Project.

Where are you?

Come on, Josh.

After getting downstairs, everything about this film was meant to blur the line between fictional horror movie and real life documentary whenever possible, including It's Downright Scary marketing.

I thought it was really the marketing was great, you know.

Everybody wanted to see it before I was even out.

The movie, though Fictional presents itself, is a completely true account of the disappearance of three student filmmakers who were searching for the legendary Blair Witch.

I just want to apologize to Mike's mom, and Josh is Mom and my mom.

I'm sorry.

Everyone thier urban legend was made up for the movie, but it's promotional website filled with fabricated police reports and interviews about the missing students certainly felt very riel.

Missing persons fires with images of the three main actors were passed out at screenings and the IMDb page list of the actors as missing, presumed dead for a year following the film's release, Tell Me Where you Are.

Just the mystery captivated audiences, and the film was a huge success.

Number three, A cast full of Keyser Soze is the usual suspects.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

Criminal mastermind Keyser Soze, A is, is elusive as he is notorious, so much so that the mystery of his true identity, even perplexed cast members of the usual suspects.

Guys, associates a shield like you said a spook story.

To protect the secret at the heart of the film, director Bryan Singer managed to convince multiple actors that their character was secretly so.

Jose Gabriel Byrne, who played Dean Keaton, was so convinced he was playing so they that it led to an argument in the parking lot during filming.

How you doing, kid?

Yeah, I can't feel my legs.

Things misdirection ensured that even if information about Keyser Soze Israel identity were to be leaked to the public.

It would probably be incorrect or misleading information, and audiences could keep guessing up until the film's final reveal.

After that, my guess is you'll never hear from him again.

Number two Alfred Hitchcock locks up Psycho Secrets Psycho Well, boys, Best Friend is his mother.

Decades before movie enthusiasts had to dodge spoilers online, Alfred Hitchcock was doing the most he could to keep information about Psycho from spreading to people who hadn't seen it yet.

Critics weren't allowed any private screenings before the film premiered, and Hitchcock bought as many copies of the book as he could, so no one would know the plot in advance.

After Psycho was released in theaters, Hitchcock encouraged theaters toe lock their doors so no one would be able to come in late and recorded a message to audiences imploring them not to share what they had seen with anyone else.

To this day, psychos, unbelievable twists continue to shock and terrify viewers.

You wouldn't be made a fool out, would you?

But I'm not a fool.

Well, I'm not capable of being fooled, and I'm not even by a woman.

Before we unveil our number one pick.

Here are some honorable mentions.

Marvel leaks, Photos of yon do and Infinity War.

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume to Michael Rooker was brought to Infinity War, set to dispel rumors of his character's death.

Tell you what are you doing?

You can take?

Yeah, you'll dio Oh no!

Mhm J J.

Abrams Con Cover up Star Trek into darkness.

Abrams denied speculation that legendary Star Trek villain Con would be in the movie.

John Harrison was a fiction created the moment I was awoken by your Admiral Marcus to help them advance his cause.

A smoke screen to conceal my true identity.

My name is kind.

Capturing true amazement.

The Goonies theaters weren't allowed to see the massive cavern set before they started filming inside.

My God, Oh, wow.

Star Wars.

Episode five.

The Empire Strikes back it.

Won't you killed?

No, I am your father.

It may be one of the most well known movie plot twists of all time, but there was a time when Onley three people in the entire world knew who Luke Skywalker's father Waas.

The day this unforgettable scene was filmed, Darth Vader's actor delivered An alternate line will be one Destroy Your Father, which was dubbed over with the original line during the editing process.

At the time of filming, director Irvin Kershner, Marc Hamel and George Lucas were the only ones who knew the films Big Twist, so it would have been easy to determine the source of any potential leaks.

Thankfully, the big secret was safe, and this much anticipated sequel was able to live up to the hype surrounding it.

Search your feelings.

You know it to be true.
