Trivia
Dunn cast all her nuns before writing the screenplay specifically writing the characters for the ensemble cast of women. She is building a reputation for writing interesting characters for women.

Unlike her first two screenplays, Gypo and Ruby Blue, which were written in prose format with a predominantly improvised dialogue, every line of dialogue in The Calling is scripted. She handed one scene to Brenda Blethyn and Rita Tushingham to edit down whilst in make-up, from a long eight minute sequence to just a three minute scene, not wanting to take the responsibility of cutting any of her much admired actress's lines.

The role of Joanna was originally written with Natalie Press in mind.
