Brian De Palma couldn't find the right girl to play Veronica. Rebecca Romijn convinced him that one of her friends, Danish model Rie Rasmussen, would be perfect for the job. He met her and signed Rasmussen because he loved the way she walked.
Melanie Griffith convinced husband Antonio Banderas to take the role of Nicolas Bardo, even though it wasn't the lead. She did it as a favour to Brian De Palma, who had given her her big break in films decades before with, respectively, Body Double (1984) and The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990).
Uma Thurman was originally cast as Laure Ash but cancelled when she became pregnant.
Antonio Banderas didn't really see himself as The character Bardo. But he wanted to learn directorial skills from Brian De Palma. He shared this thought with De Palma, who agreed to teach him everything he wanted to know if Banderas took the part.
One of the trailers for this film consisted of a clip from the classic film noir Double Indemnity (1944) and then the entire span of Femme Fatale (2002), including the credits, albeit with all but a few seconds of the movie greatly speeded up to preserve its twists and to fit it into the under-3-minute span allotted for trailers.
"Lily: Bad people read newspapers too."
"Laure Ash: You know why no good deed goes unpunished? Because this world is hell and you're nothing but a fucking patsy."
