Short description
Following her father Richard's death in an unexplained road accident, reclusive teenager India Stoker withdraws further into the quiet rural life she shares with her emotionally disturbed mother Evie. But her curiosity is stirred when her mysterious uncle Charlie, who she has never met, suddenly arrives unannounced. Told that the darkly charismatic Charlie will now be staying at the house, India's initial well-founded distrust of her uncle's motivations begins to waver as she finds herself becoming ever more deeply entranced by his sinister charms.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot in 40 days.
- Wentworth Miller’s screenplay ranked fifth on the ‘Black List’ – a list of the ten best unproduced screenplays – in 2010.
- Carey Mulligan, Kristen Stewart, Rooney Mara, Emily Browning, Emma Roberts, Bella Heathcote, and Ashley Greene were all considered for the role of India.
- The contenders for the role of Charlie Stoker were Colin Firth, James Franco, Michael Fassbender, and Joel Edgerton. Firth was initially cast in the role, but he declined, and Matthew Goode was cast instead.
- Alfred Hitchcock's film 'Shadow of a Doubt' (1943) served as inspiration for Wentworth Miller in writing the screenplay.
- Composers Philip Glass and Clint Mansell collaborated on developing the film's soundtrack: Mansell wrote the main soundtrack, and Glass wrote the melody played by India and Charlie on the piano.
- Filming began in September 2011 in Nashville, Tennessee, near Nicole Kidman’s residence.
- Jodie Foster and Carey Mulligan were chosen for roles in this film, but both declined, and Mia Wasikowska and Nicole Kidman took their place.
- Park Chan-wook's first English-language film.
- Wentworth Miller revealed in an interview that he pictured Matthew Goode as Charles Stoker when writing the screenplay.
- On the set, the director communicated with the actors through an interpreter. Matthew Goode joked about this: 'Pak understood more than he let on. Give him a little whiskey – he really knows the language.'
- Jodie Foster was initially cast in the lead role in the film, but she turned it down and Nicole Kidman took her place. In 'Panic Room' (2002) it was the other way around – Nicole Kidman could have gotten the lead role, but she refused, and Jodie Foster was cast instead.
