• Selma Blair was the studio's first choice for Stevie Wayne, but she was not offered the part because Julia Stiles was still attached to play Elizabeth. Blair and Stiles had acted together two times previously (in Down to You, and most recently A Guy Thing). When the role of Elizabeth went to Maggie Grace, Blair was contacted and her contract closed with 48 hours. She started shooting less than two weeks later.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): In the scene where Elizabeth visits the priest, the "writing on the wall" is misspelled. The last word should be spelled UPHARSIN.
• Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Stevie uses a CO2 Fire Extinguisher to put out the fire which has start on the notice board. Her mistake is that she holds the coned nozzle when aiming at the wall. It is highly recommended when using a CO2 extinguisher, not to hold the nozzle as your hand would stick frozen to it.
• Maggie Grace beat Emilie de Ravin, her Lost co-star, for the role of Elizabeth.
