Trivia / The Invitation (2022)

Go To

  • Actor-Shared Background: Nathalie Emmanuel is of mixed race, just like her character Evie.
  • Fake American: Brit Nathalie Emmanuel plays American Evie.
  • Similarly Named Works: It shares its name with another horror film, The Invitation (2015), which is also about a family gathering turning sinister.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The movie has two alternate endings, one of which was filmed. The first has Evie keep her vampire powers rather than losing them and use her abilities to hunt down other vampires. The second (which was filmed) reveals Walter survived and returns to Romania by ship.
    • Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert were originally set to produce the film via their production company Ghost House Pictures, but they dropped out of the project early in production.
    • Garrett Hedlund was originally cast as Walter De Ville, but was replaced by Thomas Doherty shortly after filming began in October 2021.
  • Working Title: When the film first went into production it was titled The Bride, which was eventually changed to The Invitation two months before its theatrical release.
