Danielle Fishel and Natanya Ross both auditioned for the role of 'Kim', but were turned down.

Director Alan Shapiro originally wanted 'an entirely unknown' for the role of 'Kim'. However, felt that most of the girls that screen tested with Elijah Wood were too 'giggly'. He decided to cast someone with more experience.
