Trigger (1932 – 1965) was a golden palomino, made famous in American Western films by cowboy star Roy Rogers. Trigger was originally named Golden Cloud.

Golden Cloud made his movie debut as the mount of Maid Marian, played by Olivia de Havilland in The Adventures of Robin Hood in 1938. When Roy was preparing to make his first movie, he was offered a choice of five rented “movie” horses to ride. He chose Golden Cloud. Roy bought him that same year and renamed him Trigger.

Trigger became the most famous horse in film entertainment, even having his own Dell comic book recounting his exploits.

After Trigger died in 1965, his hide was stretched over a plaster likeness and put on display at the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum in Victorville, California which was relocated to Branson, Missouri, and closed in late 2009.

In July 2010 at Christies Auction House, New York, television channel RFD-TV rustled up $266,500.00  to purchase Trigger with plans of starting up a Western museum.

Her first film role came that of Tosh in 1982 in the movie Lookin’ to Get Out, when she was only 7 years old, her father cast her in the role.

• 3: Meryl Streep – $24 million per film.
• 4: Sarah Jessica Parker – $23 million per film.
• 5: Cameron Diaz – $20 million per film.
• 6: Sandra Bullock – over $15 million per film.

• 8: Nicole Kidman – over $12 million per film.

Although a lot of reports show Avatar as the most expensive film made at some $500 million the true cost is much lower. The $150 million marketing budget, and the costs of developing the necessary 3-D cameras and motion capture technology which were independently financed by other investors should not be included in the production cost. There was also a 15% tax rebate from New Zealand that reduced the final bill by $25 – $30 million.

As for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, it was produced on a combined budget of $450 million with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and with overruns both movies cost a total of $500 million together. Since some costs such as actors and sets could have been split between both movies the exact production cost can not be determined but is estimated at $300 million.

 As a result Spider-Man 3 is officially the world’s most expensive movie ever produced.

Here are the top 10 most expensive movies ever made:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007) – $300 million.
2. Spider-Man 3 (2007) - $258 million.
