Sean Connery's career was at such a low point when he read for the role that Columbia Pictures refused to finance the movie when Jean-Jacques Annaud cast him as William von Baskerville.
According to Ron Perlman, director Jean-Jacques Annaud had purposely not written a lot of the movie's dialogue, in order to more easily secure funding. When they started filming however, he wanted Perlman to talk in all his scenes. Since Salvatore was described as a character who speaks "six languages at once" (among them Latin, Italian, German, English, and French), Perlman got copies of the book in all of those languages. He then composed mixed-language sentences by combining words from Salvatore's sentences from each book.
In his interview and director's commentary on the DVD, Jean-Jacques Annaud said that after 15-year-old Christian Slater was cast as Adso of Melk, he was asked to read with three actresses auditioning for the role of "The Girl". He read with Valentina Vargas first and was scheduled to read with the other two actresses the next day. That evening, Slater sent his mother, casting agent Mary Jo Slater, to tell Annaud that he was so smitten with 22-year-old Vargas that he didn't want the other two women to be considered.
William von Baskerville is amazed when he discovers a book by "Umberto of Bologna", a reference to Umberto Eco, who teaches at the University of Bologna, and is the author of the book on which this movie was based.
Robert De Niro auditioned for the role of William, but Jean-Jacques Annaud changed his mind, because De Niro wanted to have a sword duel between William and Bernardo Gui.
"Adso of Melk: Master? Have you ever been in love? William of Baskerville: In love? Yeah, many times. Adso of Melk: You were? William of Baskerville: Yes, of course. Aristotle, Ovid, Vergil... Adso of Melk: No, no, no. I meant with a... William of Baskerville: Oh. Ah. Are you not confusing love with lust? Adso of Melk: Am I? I don't know. I want only her own good. I want her to be happy. I want to save her from her poverty. William of Baskerville: Oh, dear. Adso of Melk: Why "oh dear"? William of Baskerville: You *are* in love. Adso of Melk: Is that bad? William of Baskerville: For a monk, it does present certain problems. Adso of Melk: But doesn't St. Thomas Aquinas praise love above all other virtues? William of Baskerville: Yes, the love of God, Adso. The love of God. Adso of Melk: Oh... And the love of woman? William of Baskerville: Of woman? Thomas Aquinas knew precious little, but the scriptures are very clear. Proverbs warns us, "Woman takes possession of a man's precious soul", while Ecclesiastes tells us, "More bitter than death is woman". Adso of Melk: Yes, but what do you think, Master? William of Baskerville: Well, of course I don't have the benefit of your experience, but I find it difficult to convince myself that God would have introduced such a foul being into creation without endowing her with *some* virtures. Hmm? How peaceful life would be without love, Adso, how safe, how tranquil, and how dull."
"William of Baskerville: But what is so alarming about laughter? Jorge de Burgos: Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith, because without fear of the Devil there is no more need of God."
