When Rebecca is choking Sara her hair is blonde again when shown from the front and brown when shown from the back.

When Stephen taps Sara on the shoulder, startling her, she gets up and hugs him, placing her head on his right shoulder. However, in the next shot, she is still hugging him, but her head is resting on his left shoulder.

Q
Is "The Roommate" based on a book?
A
The screenplay for The Roommate was written by co-producer Sonny Mallhi. While having a plot very similar to Single White Female (1992), The Roommate is not a credited remake. Single White Female is based on a John Lutz novel SWF Seeks Same (1992). After the release of Single White Female (both the film and book), Francine Pascal released a book called The Roommate (1996) which was heavily inspired by SWF. With the exception of minor changes, the plots are almost identical. It has not been confirmed whether this film will closely follow Pascal's book of the same name, which was basically modeled on the SWF Seeks Same novel.
