** Neil Jordan had wanted Creator/AndyWarhol to play the role of the Devil. Producer Stephen Woolley travelled to New York City to meet Warhol, who had recently been shot, and Warhol agreed to do this movie. However, fearing for his life if he traveled, he would only play the role if his scenes were shot in New York City. This was impossible, and so Jordan cast his friend Creator/TerenceStamp in the role. Stamp agreed to do the role if Jordan bought him a suit, which he did, much to Stamp's amusement.

* DawsonCasting: Averted.

to:

* AbilityOverAppearance: Producers originally wanted a teenaged actress to play Rosaleen. Preteen Sarah Patterson got the role - despite likely being too young to understand some of the film's symbolism. As such the film has much more weight by having an actual twelve year old girl dreaming about this.
* CreatorPreferredAdaptation: Angela Carter liked the film very much.
* DawsonCasting: Averted. Sarah Patterson actually was twelve when the film was made. Alice's age isn't stated but Georgia Slowe was 17/18 during filming.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The original ending would have had Rosaleen waking up, diving onto the floor of her room and being swallowed up as if it were water. The limited special effects of the time made this impossible to pull off.
** The Huntsman was going to tell Rosaleen a story similar to Peter and the Wolf. It was then changed to Rosaleen telling a story about a woman "from the world below".
** Another scene was planned for the church, which would have involved an animal congregation.
