Director Kevin Macdonald had originally intended the cast to be all unknown or amateur actors and actresses and was looking for an American girl, around sixteen-years-old to play Daisy, but cast Irish 18-year-old Saoirse Ronan instead, after her audition, reading a scene which left them in tears.
Director Kevin Macdonald chose to film the first half of this movie with a hand held camera to give the paradise-like countryside home a sense of humanity, as though the camera was alive and breathing. The second half of this movie was shot in a more steady and smoother style to make the war torn countryside more sharp and unforgiving, as though the camera was mechanical.
Saoirse Ronan wore fake piercings and a bleach blonde colored wig for her role.
Saoirse Ronan had read with only about ten other boys before George MacKay was cast as Eddie.
In the book, Eddie and Isaac are twins, both fourteen-years-old, and they have an older brother called Osbert, who is sixteen. He hangs out with his own friends and is not a part of the tight group of siblings with whom Daisy becomes close. In this movie, Eddie is older than Isaac, and is the oldest sibling. Also, in this movie, Eddie communicates with animals - which is Isaac's trait in the book. In the book, Eddie can read people the way Isaac can read animals.
"Daisy: Before the war I used my willpower for stupid stuff, like not eating chocolate. I think I thought if I could control myself, then maybe the world around me would start to make sense. I guess I was pretty naive back then."
"[last lines] Daisy: It's like I said all that time ago, if the world doesn't end I wanna be here at home, with you. And that's how I live now."
