| The film features dozens of contemporary rock songs, and Kentucky natives My Morning Jacket portray a reunited fictional rock group named Ruckus. There is a character named Ben who is mentioned as a love interest of Claire. In the original cut of the film, Ben is revealed to be Claire's brother. Recognizable settings for scenes shot in Louisville, Kentucky include the Brown Hotel and Cave Hill Cemetery. Although the exterior, lobby, and corridors of the Brown Hotel are seen, a passable replica of the Brown Hotel's Crystal Ball Room was re-created on a soundstage. Although the title of the movie is Elizabethtown, most of the small town scenes were actually filmed in Versailles, Kentucky. A few scenes were filmed in LaGrange, and scenes portraying distinctive landmarks were filmed in Elizabethtown itself. Filming also took place in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. In the original cut of the film, an epilogue reveals that the shoe designed by Drew turns out to be a hit, as it whistles with every step. This was cut from the release version of the film to prevent the ending seeming overly-drawn out. |
