Known Trivia
- Robert Pattinson was considered to play Count Vronsky.
- James McAvoy was considered to play Levin.
- James McAvoy, Saoirse Ronan (Kitty), Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Andrea Riseborough all turned down roles in the film.
- Saoirse Ronan was offered the role of Kitty but turned it down in order to star in Byzantium and The Host. Her reasoning for turning down the film was its long production schedule which would have required her to turn down movie roles from Fall 2011 to late Spring 2012 in order to film what would have ended up as a supporting role. By turning down the role, she was able to take the lead role in two films. She was replaced by Alicia Vikander.
- Director of photography Philippe Rousselot had to leave in pre-production to have back surgery, as excruciating pain from sciatica made it impossible for him to continue working on the film. He was replaced by Seamus McGarvey, director Joe Wright’s regular collaborator.
