Short description
Forlorn heiress Penelope Wilhern is cursed, and the only way out is to fall in love with someone of suitable stock. But how can she find her soul mate when she's sequestered inside her family's estate with only her parents to keep her company. This untraditional fairy tale about a girl who bucks convention to create her own happy ending.
What's left behind the scenes
- Filming of "Penelope" was completed in early spring 2006, after which the project stalled for a long time. The film's US release was planned for April 2007, but after distributors declined, the release was postponed several times, and as a result, the film appeared in cinemas in the US and Britain only in February 2008, almost two years after filming was completed.
- Christina Ricci received the lead role without a preliminary audition at the invitation of Reese Witherspoon.
- It usually took about an hour and a half to correct Christina Ricci's nose and attach a special prosthetic to it.
- Russia became the first country to release the film in theaters.
