What's left behind the scenes

  • 175 young actresses auditioned for the role of Juliet, and the choice fell on 18-year-old Englishwoman Kate Winslet, who was previously known only for small roles in television films.
  • Peter Jackson played a cameo role in the film: Kate Winslet's character kisses him, disguised as a homeless man passing by a cinema where the film's happy heroines have just exited.
  • The film that Juliet and Pauline are watching in the cinema is "The Third Man".
  • The film was shot in the vicinity of the town where the real events that formed the basis of the film took place. Only the murder scene was filmed within 100 yards of the actual crime scene.
  • The film that Juliet and Pauline are watching in the cinema is "The Third Man".
  • The voice-over text uses content from Pauline's diary, which was played by Melanie Lynskey. The characters of the stories (as opposed to the stories themselves) and the fictional world are also taken from Pauline's diaries.
  • Melanie Lynskey was cast as Pauline two weeks before the start of filming. At the very last moment, screenwriter Fran Walsh found Lynskey at one of the local schools. Lynskey was shown a video of Kate Winslet's screen tests (Winslet was to play Juliet, Lynskey's character's friend) and told: "You'll have to act as well as she does."
  • In 1994, it turned out that Juliet was the mystery writer Anne Perry, working in the detective genre. She revealed her real name while the film was in production. Attempts to find Pauline Parker were unsuccessful at the time. It was only in 1997 that Parker was discovered in Kent, England, where she taught horseback riding to children. Parker had taken the name Hilary Naten, become a devout Catholic, and devoted herself to working with children with disabilities.
  • The murder depicted in the film caused a sensation throughout New Zealand at the time, so director and screenwriter Peter Jackson decided to focus on the relationship between the characters played by Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet, rather than showing the actual events that preceded the crime. In addition to studying Pauline’s diary, the filmmakers organized searches throughout the country for anyone who had ever known Pauline and Juliet, and spoke with each person to better understand both girls.
