What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the novel by American writer Cheryl Strayed, "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail".
  • Young Cheryl was played by Cheryl Strayed's real-life daughter.
  • The real Cheryl Strayed played an episodic role of a woman who gives the main character a ride at the beginning of the film and wishes her luck.
  • For the role in this film, Reese Witherspoon turned down a role in "Big Eyes" (2014).
  • The director specifically covered all the mirrors on the set so that Reese Witherspoon could not look at herself during filming.
  • The director did not allow Reese Witherspoon to read the instructions for the tent and stove, so that her attempts to use them would look more realistic.
  • Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, and Emma Watson were considered for the role of Cheryl, but in the end, the role went to Reese Witherspoon.
  • Cheryl Strayed personally sent a copy of her book to Reese Witherspoon five months before its publication. Cheryl believed that Witherspoon was the only actress who could play her. The actress saw potential in the story and became interested in it, as it could be a great starting point for her production company.
  • Initially, it was planned that this film would be Witherspoon's next project after completing work on "Gone Girl" (2014), however, work on it was significantly accelerated when Witherspoon decided to give up the role of Amy and remain on "Gone Girl" only as a producer.
  • The backpack that Cheryl carries in the film was deliberately heavy to make the hiking scenes look more realistic.
  • Jean-Marc Vallée was offered to direct this project when his film "Dallas Buyers Club" (2013) was still in post-production. Producer Bruna Papandrea is a big fan of his and, after watching a rough cut of "Dallas Buyers Club" (2013), she immediately approached him with an official offer to head the project. Lisa Cholodenko could also have been considered for the role of director, but she left the project.
  • In one scene, Reese Witherspoon's character reads the novel "Gone Girl," which served as the basis for the film of the same name, produced by Witherspoon herself.
  • Judging by the newspaper headlines and the death of Jerry Garcia, the film takes place in 1995. However, Cheryl is reading the novel "Gone Girl," which was published only in 2012.
  • When Cheryl undresses before the shower, abrasions from her backpack are visible on the front of her shoulders. However, when she looks in the mirror after the shower, these abrasions are gone.
  • When a man on the street hands Cheryl a promotional flyer for a show dedicated to the memory of Jerry Garcia, the soda bottle she was holding suddenly disappears.
  • When Cheryl is walking in the pouring rain, she meets a little boy. After talking to him and his grandmother, she continues on her way and soon falls to her knees and begins to cry. At that moment, as the camera zooms in on her face, it can be noticed that her hair instantly becomes dry.
  • When Cheryl is dropped off at the trail, at the beginning of her hike, a watch and bracelet are visible on her left wrist. In subsequent shots in the same scene, the bracelet and watch appear on her right arm, then back on her left.
  • At the beginning of the hike, when Cheryl howls with the wolves, a rounded mountain peak can be seen in the distance. This is a mountain known as “Monkey Face,” located in Smith Rock State Park in Oregon. However, at that moment in the film, Cheryl is in California.
  • In one scene, Cheryl purifies water using a special filter. The water in the bottle is very cloudy and dirty, and Cheryl adds iodine to make it drinkable. The filter shown in the film actually makes the water clean and drinkable immediately, even if it was taken from a very murky source. Additional disinfection of the water after it has passed through this filter is not necessary.
  • In one scene, the calendar shows “Friday, December 7th.” However, the events of the film take place in 1995, and December 7th was a Thursday that year.
  • Throughout the film, Cheryl has a horse tattoo on her left shoulder. However, in the hotel dressing room scene in Oregon, the tattoo disappears.
  • From the second to the fifth day, the scrapes on Cheryl's right arm magically heal and then reappear.
  • At 43 minutes into the film, when Cheryl is drinking lemonade, the bottle jumps from one hand to the other during a camera angle change.
  • The film is based on the novel "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail" by American writer Cheryl Strayed.
  • For the role in this film, Reese Witherspoon turned down a role in "Big Eyes" (2014).
  • Initially, this film was planned to be her next project after completing work on "Gone Girl" (2014), but work on it accelerated significantly when Witherspoon decided to forgo the lead role and remain on "Gone Girl" solely as a producer.
  • Jean-Marc Vallée was offered the directing position for this project while his film "Dallas Buyers Club" (2013) was still in post-production. Producer Bruna Papandrea is a big fan of his and, after seeing a rough cut of "Dallas Buyers Club" (2013), she immediately contacted him with a formal offer to head the project. Lisa Cholodenko was also considered for the director's role, but she left the project.
  • In one scene, Reese Witherspoon's character reads the novel "Gone Girl," which served as the basis for the film of the same name, for which Witherspoon was a producer.
