Movie Trivia/Goofs

SPOILER: One version of Roger Kumble's screenplay had an ending where Annette, instead of publishing the journal and crushing Kathryn, keeps it to herself and announces her cruel intentions to play games on Kathryn under the threat of revealing the contents.
Although Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the older version of Kathryn while Amy Adams plays the younger version in the prequel Cruel Intentions 2 (2000) (V), in real life Sarah Michelle Gellar is younger to Amy Adams by 3 years.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Katherine and Cecile are in the park kissing, Cecile's hair is behind the green clip, when the kiss it's covering the green clip, then when they finish the green clip is exposed again.
Despite previous reports, Reese Witherspoon was not pregnant during filming. The movie filmed from 9 June 1998 - 15 July 1998, and Witherspoon had her daughter Ava on 9 September 1999. A full year after filming the movie. She was, however, pregnant, when they did the press tours for the film.
