TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film was originally called Melanie's Getting Married, but was later renamed after the famous Leonard Skynard song, Sweet Home Alabama.
• Originally Charlize Theron was cast as Melanie early on in production, however when the actor's strike was announced she left the project to star in Trapped which was ready to begin filming as she was concerned she would not be able to start shooting before the strike took effect. Reese Witherspoon was later cast on the same weekend that Legally Blonde premiered in theaters.
• This was the first film to be allowed to shoot in New York after the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
• After poor screen tests this film had to have massive re-shoots and editing which included an entirely different ending, and the removal through editing of an entire character named Erin Vanderbilt, which was played by Katharine Towne.
• While some of the filming of this movie took place in Alabama, a large portion was filmed in Georgia. The Carmichael house which ia actually known as Oak Hill, the dog cemetery, and the show room were among the locations shot in Georgia.
