Wow didn't know this! Sorry if you have already heard about them

Ryan Gosling built the kitchen table featured in the movie in preparation for his role as Noah.

Background music for the original theatrical trailer for this film featured music from 'Randy Newman''s score for Pleasantville (1998), also featuring Joan Allen.

'Rachael McAdams' beat many people for the role of Allie, including Britney Spears.

Ashley Judd was once attached to play the character of Allie.

Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise were also once attached to the project but backed out.

Britney Spears auditioned for the role of young Allie.

Ryan Gosling prepared for his role by living in Charleston, South Carolina before filming began. For two months, he rowed the Charleston river in the morning and built furniture during the day.

Thanks Lauren for the useful information. Appreciated it. ;D I didn't know Gosling dwelled in South Carolina just to adapt to the surrounding for the film, and the rowing of course. So much preparation put in for the film. And yes! So glad McAdams snatched the Allie's role from Spears; she would ruin the entire movie! (Apologies toward the Spears' fans.) [/size]

As a fan of the book it makes me ill that they would have even gave Spears a second thought. Granted I have only seen about 10 minutes of Crossroads, but that was all I could take! I would love to tell the girl to stick to music, but I don't care for her voice either....although she did get smart and have Stephen Dorff in her last video...THANK YOU BRITNEY! Other than that I wish her and her Chris Judd wannabe boyfriend kinda fade away forever.
