Production and Cast Changes
Upon the original creation of the film adaption, Dakota Fanning and Elle Fanning were cast to play Kate and Anna respectively. The girls closely resembled each other and were used to working together. However, when Dakota heard that she would be required to shave her head for the role, she dropped out of the film as then did Elle. The two sisters were replaced, with Abigail Breslin taking on the lead role as Anna Fitzgerald and Sofia Vassilieva on the role of Kate Fitzgerald.
