Confession: I have not read Eat Pray Love. And although I won't get through a single page before it opens today in theaters, I did learn a few fun and geeky facts about the making of the film. Sure, geekery isn't the first thing you think of when you picture this movie (I'm thinking of pasta and hunky eye candy, myself), but I'm sure movie and tech geeks of all kinds will get a kick out of these fun facts. Check them out below!

In Eat Pray Love, which comes out today, Julia Roberts plays the real-life tale of Elizabeth Gilbert, a woman who left her good life and job, for a soul-seeking trip across the world.

In the big screen adaptation of Eat Pray Love, Julia Roberts lends her charm to the role of Liz Gilbert, an author who journeys to three different countries to find herself. The moments where we see glimpses of Liz's frustration and her loneliness are some of the movie's strongest, but the character is often overshadowed by the bigger focus of the film: the scenery.
