This project reunites Titanic stars Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kathy Bates after more than 10 years.

This is the first time that Kate Winslet and her husband Sam Mendes work together.

Todd Field had planned to follow up In The Bedroom with Revolutionary Road but decided to make Little Children instead.

Child actors Ryan Simpkins and Ty Simpkins, who play Frank and April's children, are real-life siblings.

The rights to adapt the book into a movie were bought in 1967.

It's the first time Kate Winslet plays a character named April, the second time Leonardo DiCaprio plays a character named Frank, and the third time Kathy Bates plays a character named Helen.

Director Sam Mendes opted to watch the monitor from another room while directing the love scene between DiCaprio and Winslet.

Shot in sequence.

This is the second time Kate Winslet has been in a movie where she makes love in a vintage car and someone's hand hits the window and slides down it in the throes of passion - the first being Titanic (1997).

When purchasing tickets to travel to Paris, the tickets are on a Cunard Line steamer. Cunard Line was merged with White Star Line, which built and owned the Titanic. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio together starred in Titanic (1997).

In the end credits it says "For Mia and Joe". Mia is Kate Winslet's daughter with her first husband Jim Threapleton. Joe is Winslet's and director Sam Mendes' son.

Some scenes in the US and International trailer were not included in the final cut of the movie, such as the scene of Frank's "Nothing's forever, right?" line and the scene with Helen showing the Wheelers their soon-to-be home.

Contains spoilers! At the end of Titanic (1997), Leonardo DiCaprio's character died and Kate Winslet's lived. At the end of Revolutionary Road (2008), the opposite happens: Winslet dies and DiCaprio lives.
