What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on Bret Easton Ellis’s novel “The Rules of Attraction” (1987).
  • Sean Bateman (James Van Der Beek) is the younger brother of Patrick Bateman, the main character of “American Psycho” (2000), a film also based on a novel by Bret Easton Ellis.
  • After Christian Bale refused to reprise the role of Patrick Bateman, Roger Avery offered the role to the book’s author, Bret Easton Ellis, but he also declined. Eventually, Casper Van Dien was cast as Patrick Bateman, but scenes featuring him were cut from the film.
  • Christina Ricci was considered for the role of Lauren.
  • In terms of style, the film's trailer is very similar to the promotional video for Stanley Kubrick's film "A Clockwork Orange" (1971). Both videos intermix scenes from the film with adjectives describing the film (large white words on a dark background) while classical music plays in the background.
  • The film mentioned by one of the students at the very beginning of the movie is "Killing Zoe" (1994), also directed by Roger Avery. Eric Stoltz, who played Mr. Lawson in "The Rules of Attraction", starred in "Killing Zoe".
  • To reduce post-production costs, the film was edited using relatively inexpensive "Final Cut Pro" software on Macintosh computers.
  • The radio station Sean listens to is called "WTNA". The film's composers are Tom Hajdu and Andy Milburn. The names of the radio DJs are Tom and Andy.
  • At the "End of the World" party, Candace is wearing a "Tomandandy" t-shirt. The names of the film's composers are Tom and Andy.
  • At the hospital, Dr. Shapiro is paged over the intercom. Greg Shapiro is one of the film's producers.
  • The 'End of the World' party scene was filmed on September 11, 2001.
  • The end credits roll in reverse order.
  • When Lauren goes to Victor, a message can be seen on the memo board on his door: 'Victor, you tested positive. Be careful.'
