In an early scene at Aunt Elinor's (Dame Helen Mirren's), a toolkit is seen next to Brendan Fraser. It is the same toolkit Rick (Fraser) gives to Evie (Rachel Weisz) in The Mummy (1999).
Brendan Fraser was Author Cornelia Funke's personal choice for the role of Mo, as he was her inspiration for the character. She even dedicated the second novel of the trilogy to him and sent him a signed copy. The producers originally wanted a bigger Hollywood star, but on the insistence of Funke, they gave in and accepted him in the role.
When writing the novel, Cornelia Funke envisioned the character of Dustfinger as somewhere between Viggo Mortensen and Daniel Day-Lewis.
The Italian Riviera Film Commission helped to find an abandoned and suitably spooky town to serve as Capricorn's (Andy Serkis') lair.
Cornelia Funke visited the set several times, to the great joy of producer and director Iain Softley, who was proud of seeing Funke's pleasure at seeing her words come to life.
"Meggie Folchart: Having writer's block? Maybe I can help. Fenoglio: Oh yes, that's right. You want to be a writer, don't you? Meggie Folchart: You say that as if it's a bad thing. Fenoglio: Oh no, it's just a lonely thing. Sometimes the world you create on the page seems more friendly and alive than the world you actually live in."
"Elinor Loredan: But I just adore everything Persian. Meggie Folchart: You've been to Persia, then? Elinor Loredan: Yes, a hundred times. Along with St. Petersburg, Paris, Middle-Earth, distant planets and Shangri-la. And I never had to leave this room. Books are adventure. They contain murder and mayhem and passion. They love anyone who opens them."
