| 1 | * CastTheRunnerUp: Creator/ShilohFernandez had originally auditioned for the role of Edward Cullen in ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' (2008) before Creator/RobertPattinson got the role. Creator/CatherineHardwicke remembered that he auditioned and offered him the role of Peter as a way of making it up to him. |
| 2 | * FollowTheLeader: Like the incredibly popular ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' films, this movie features a love triangle, director Catherine Hardwicke, and Creator/BillyBurke as the lead female's father (though he doesn't have [[MemeticMutation his mustache]] this time around). Shiloh Fernandez was also one of the finalists to play Edward Cullen. |
| 3 | * HostilityOnTheSet: Actually averted. Creator/AmandaSeyfried had a bad experience with Shiloh Fernandez at a dinner party, so Catherine Hardwicke had to persuade the actress to give him a chance. By all accounts however, they seemed to work well together once production got underway. |
| 4 | * MissingTrailerScene: Valerie breathing heavily and saying "What big eyes you have" before looking up and then closing her eyes as the Wolf growls and breathes on her. |
| 5 | * NovelizationFirst: A novelization of the film was released 1-2 months in advance. Notable for pissing a lot of people off for not including the ending of the movie in the novel. |
| 6 | %%Why, and what is the trope here?* The movie is set in either an Orthodox country or perhaps Russia itself. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 8 | ** Creator/SamClaflin auditioned for the role of Henry and screen tested with Amanda Seyfried before Creator/MaxIrons was cast. |
| 9 | ** Creator/TaylorLautner was considered for the role of Peter. He previously appeared in ''Twilight'' (2008) which was also directed by Catherine Hardwicke. |
| 10 | ** Creator/ChristinaRicci was originally considered for the role of Valerie, and was a strong candidate before Amanda Seyfried was selected. It was decided that she was too old for the role, being several years older than both love interests, Shiloh Fernandez and Max Irons (Valerie is also supposed to be in her late teens, while Ricci was in her early 30s). Ricci had previously played a werewolf in ''Film/Cursed2005'' and a human with a pig face in modern fairytale ''Penelope'' (2006). |
| 11 | * WorkingTitle: Shipped to theaters under the code name "Fangs of Affection". |
