Roc LaFortune as Lindy's father Production Development I was very inspired by 'Say Anything.' I thought there was this kind of rawness and visceral qualities of those years. Being 18 and 19 and what those years are like.
So, I wanted to translate that into this film as well.

Baer expressed excitement about the director, saying, 'Daniel’s fresh vision makes him one of the most exciting directors of his generation. We are thrilled to partner with him as he brings his unique voice to arguably the most universally resonant myth in storytelling.' Barnz anticipated bringing an indie sensibility to Flinn's story. 'It's a very commercial idea that I get to tell in a highly artistic fashion,' he said. Barnz also said; 'There was this sort of hyper-modern version of this story and that it was told from his perspective, which we'd never seen before and thematically, because it's all about beauty and how you look and inner beauty that this was such a great story set in the teenage world and for teenagers, because it has such a great message to it'. Barnz's script was inspired by the film.
He 'immediately fell for it, because he saw that there was an amazing opportunity to tell a modern version of this fairytale and he loved the idea of it.'

The facial prosthetics and tattoos took almost three hours to apply and the full body makeup took the artists six hours to finish.
