2* FollowTheLeader: For ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' , being a [[GenderFlip gender-flip]] of its "angsty teenage girl falls in love with the hot new boy at her school who turns out to have a supernatural secret" plot.
3
4!! The Film
5* ActorInspiredElement: Amma was combined with Marian because the director wanted Viola Davis for the role and knew she wouldn't want to play a maid.
6* DeletedRole:
7** Camille Balsamo played Genevieve Katherine Duchene in a sequence that was cut - that would show different Duchene women throughout the twentieth century.
8** JD Evermore filmed scenes as Ethan's father but they were cut, turning him into TheGhost in the film.
9* DuellingMovies: With the second remake of ''Literature/{{Carrie}}''. Both films are based on novels about misunderstood teenage girls with supernatural abilities, released in 2013. They were originally slated for release within a month of each other, but ''Carrie'' was pushed back to October [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting]].
10* FakeAmerican: Brits Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons as Mrs Lincoln and Macon respectively and Australian Alice Englert as Lena.
11* FollowTheLeader: The film was green-lit as an attempt to fill the void of "teen paranormal romance" films left behind once the last ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' film was released.
12* IronyAsSheIsCast: Avowed atheist Emma Thompson plays the puritanical Christian Mrs Lincoln.
13* MoneyDearBoy: Creator/JeremyIrons did the film to pay for his castle.
14* StillBornFranchise: The film’s box office failure has doomed any chances of seeing the three other books in the series being adapted into sequels. Fans wouldn't have cared due to not liking how executives handled the film.
15* ThrowItIn: Ethan trying to recite the poem to Lena and getting it wrong was actually Alden Ehrenreich getting his lines out of order, and Alice Englert {{Corpsing}} is genuine. He got the poem right on all the other takes but they chose to use that one.
16* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Jack O'Connell was originally cast as Ethan but had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict.
