* [[Ability Over Appearance]]: Traditionally, guys called "Red" are redheads. Initial casting calls had that in mind. The role is played by [[Morgan Freeman]], who would not pick up that nickname naturally but owns the role anyway. It's explained in the film (though not in the novella), that Red's nickname comes from his name, Ellis Redding.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The movie makes several changes that keep the story moving.
** The timeframe is cut from thirty years to twenty. (An actor's age range can only be stretched so far.)
