TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Saoirse Ronan actually played Ludwig van Beethoven's complicated Piano Sonata Opus 2, No. 3, having undergone an intense twelve-week crash course in piano lessons.

The ancient shrine where the vampires are made was filmed on Skellig Michael off the Irish coast. This is the same location used for Luke's refuge in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) and Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017).

The seaside town used as the location of this movie was Hastings, East Sussex, England.

In 1816, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Claire Clairmont, and John Polidori gathered at the Villa Diodati on Lake Geneva, Switzerland, in the fabled "haunted summer", which has been depicted in several movies. In a drug and alcohol-induced frenzy, they engaged in a contest to see who could write the best ghost story. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley produced "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus". Byron began a vampire story, but abandoned it out of boredom. Polidori picked it up and created "The Vampyre" (the forerunner to "Bram Stoker's Dracula"), whose title character, Ruthven, was modelled on Byron. Jonny Lee Miller portrayed a character named "Ruthven" in this movie and the title role in the biopic, Byron (2003).

Neil Jordan directed another vampire movie, Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), the year Saoirse Ronan was born.

Popular Dialogues

"Clara: I'm never merciful, and knowledge is a fatal thing."

"[first lines] Eleanor: My story can never be told. I write it over and over, wherever we find shelter. I write of what I cannot speak: the truth. I write all I know of it, then I throw the pages to the wind. Maybe the birds can read it."
