Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Dawson Casting: Keats ages from twenty-two at the beginning of the film to twenty-four when we see him depart for Italy; Brawne is eighteen when she meets Keats and twenty-one when he dies. Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish, who depicted them, were in their mid-to-late twenties.
    • ...and 24 isn't mid-twenties?
  • Fake Brit: Paul Schneider as Brown. Look past the beard and you just might recognize Mark Brendanawicz.
  • Romance on the Set: Ben Whishaw and composer Mark Bradshaw met while working on the film; they married in 2012. Awww.
