What's left behind the scenes

  • Composers Philip Glass and Clint Mansell collaborated on developing the film's soundtrack: Mansell wrote the main soundtrack, and Glass wrote the melody played by India and Charlie on the piano.
  • Wentworth Miller revealed in an interview that he pictured Matthew Goode as Charles Stoker when writing the screenplay.
  • Alfred Hitchcock's film 'Shadow of a Doubt' (1943) served as inspiration for Wentworth Miller in writing the screenplay.
  • Jodie Foster and Carey Mulligan were chosen for roles in this film, but both declined, and Mia Wasikowska and Nicole Kidman took their place.
  • Filming began in September 2011 in Nashville, Tennessee, near Nicole Kidman’s residence.
  • Park Chan-wook's first English-language film.
  • Carey Mulligan, Kristen Stewart, Rooney Mara, Emily Browning, Emma Roberts, Bella Heathcote, and Ashley Greene were all considered for the role of India.
  • Jodie Foster was initially cast in the lead role in the film, but she turned it down and Nicole Kidman took her place. In 'Panic Room' (2002) it was the other way around – Nicole Kidman could have gotten the lead role, but she refused, and Jodie Foster was cast instead.
  • The film was shot in 40 days.
  • The contenders for the role of Charlie Stoker were Colin Firth, James Franco, Michael Fassbender, and Joel Edgerton. Firth was initially cast in the role, but he declined, and Matthew Goode was cast instead.
  • Wentworth Miller’s screenplay ranked fifth on the ‘Black List’ – a list of the ten best unproduced screenplays – in 2010.
  • On the set, the director communicated with the actors through an interpreter. Matthew Goode joked about this: 'Pak understood more than he let on. Give him a little whiskey – he really knows the language.'
