One of the first scenes shot was the romantic kissing scene by the fire between Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson) and Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel). Jackson, cast at the last minute, had not even met Bledel before shooting the scene.
Jonathan Jackson, playing a seventeen-year-old character, is one year younger than Alexis Bledel, who played a fifteen-year-old character. Bledel was twenty-one when this movie was released, and Jackson was twenty.
One of the primary differences from the book is that Winnie Foster was only ten years old when she met seventeen-year-old Jesse Tuck.
