Old Shame is In-Universe only


* CreatorBacklash: Creator/EwanMcGregor later regretted appearing in the film:
-->My decision-making was wrong. It's the only time I've done that. And I learnt from it, you know. So I'm glad of that - because it was early on and I learnt my lesson. It's a good film, but I'm just... not very good in it. I'm not helped because I'm also wearing the world's worst wig. It's quite a laugh, checking that wig out.

* CreatorsFavorite: Emma and Mr. Knightley were among Jane Austen's favourite fictional creations. Mr. Knightley was "very far from being what [Jane Austen] knew English gentlemen often were", and when she was sending a copy of the book to a friend whose daughter had been lately born, she wrote: "I trust you will be as glad to see my Emma as I shall be to see your Jemima." And when she was commencing that work, she said, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like".

* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: Creator/EwanMcGregor had just got off ''Film/{{Trainspotting}}'', which required him to have a buzzcut. Hence why he wears what he referred to as the world's worst wig.

About two hours after the word got out, she was promptly reinstated following the fans doing some digging and naming other members of the roster kept their jobs after doing worse things (most notably Jack Swagger, who got arrested for a DUI whilst possessing marijuana, and Cameron, who also got busted for a DUI, lied about where she worked and unsuccessfully tried to bribe the arresting officer). ''Then'' she was fired, this time seemingly for good, in October 2017, although that time it seemingly wasn't related to any misdemeanor.

McGrath was unaware that ''Film/{{Clueless}}'' was already in production, until plans for Emma were well underway.

* ReferencedBy: In ''Literature/TheCollector'', Miranda asks her captor to get her Jane Austen's ''Emma''. She compares herself to its imperfect and slightly manipulative heroine, and then she likens her captor Frederick to Mr Elton, her fling from university to Frank Churchill, and asks herself if her older teacher is Mr Knightley.

* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/ToniCollette had to gain weight to portray "the Rubenesque Harriet".

* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/EwanMcGregor accepted the role of Frank Churchill because he wanted to do something different after ''Film/{{Trainspotting}}''.
* RealLifeRelative: Mrs. Bates and Miss Bates, mother and daughter in the film, are played by real-life mother and daughter Phyllida Law and Sophie Thompson. This was a coincidence, as the casting director had their names on separate lists.

* DuelingWorks: A rare case of dueling works based on ''the exact same work''. This telefilm was being filmed at the same time that the [=McGrath/Paltrow/Northam=] film was in theaters, and came out in the same year in the UK. Also something of a meta-situation, since six Jane Austen films came out from 1995-1996.
