Trivia / Another Earth

• Acting for Two: Presumably, the residents of Earth-2 are dead-ringers of their Earth-1 counterparts. At least judging by Rhoda's who appeared in the end.
  • The actress who played the scientist talking to her Earth-2 counterpart via radio at the middle of the film also voiced said counterpart.
• Creator Couple: Aside from being a Production Posse, Marling and Cahill were dating at the time this film was made.
• Dawson Casting:
  • Brit Marling was 28, but played 21-year old Rhoda (as well as at 17, briefly).
  • Robin Lord Taylor, who played her younger brother, was 33 years old.
• Descended Creator: Lead star Brit Marling also co-wrote and co-produced the film.
• Dueling Movies: With Melancholia, to the director's surprise
• No Budget: Shot mostly in Cahill's home and neighbourhood. The prison scene was shot by having Marling pose as a yoga instructor, walk into the local jail, and then walk out again before anyone had time to check her credentials, while Cahill filmed it all from a car outside.
• Production Posse: This is Marling and Cahill's first collaboration; they'd later work on I Origins together.
• Referenced by...: The Russian cosmonaut scene is used (in a trimmed form) in the "Intro" for ODESZA's album A Moment Apart; Rhoda's rhythmic cup-banging during the scene in question is repeated throughout the subsequent title track of the album (famously known for its appearance in Forza Horizon 4).
• Written by Cast Member: Marling both co-wrote and co-produced the film along with director Mike Cahill.
