Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Originally the 14 year old [[Natalie Portman]] was cast as Juliet, but the director thought that the much older [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] looked like he was "molesting her", so the [[The Other Marty|16-year old Claire Danes was hired instead]].
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Luigi]] kills [[The Matrix|Link]]. [[Titanic|Jack Dawson]] kills [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Luigi]].
Line 6 ⟶ 7:
** Pete Postlethwaite plays the Priest.
** Also, Paul Rudd as Paris.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: For [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] and [[Claire Danes]].
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: A version of The Love Theme from the 60's Franco Zefferelli adaptation plays in the background at one point.
* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: This is a ''very'' 90s kinda movie, stylistically and visually.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Not only was Natalie Portman supposed to play Juliet before Claire Danes, but John Leguizamo wanted to play Mercutio, before being cast as Tybalt.
** Claire Danes and DiCaprio were going to be reunited in ''[[Titanic]]'', but Danes was too tired after shooting, so the role went to [[Kate Winslet]] instead.
