Trivia

During the making of the film, Meg Tilly and Colin Firth fell in love, and a year later, they welcomed a son together. Their real-life romance adds a touch of genuine emotion to their on-screen performances. Michelle Pfeiffer faced an interesting decision as she was offered the role of the Marquise de Merteuil in "Valmont" at the same time she was offered the role of Madame de Tourvel in "Dangerous Liaisons." It must have been a challenging choice for her to decide which captivating character to portray. The release of "Valmont" in certain territories, such as the UK, was intentionally delayed to allow some time to pass after the release of "Dangerous Liaisons." Christopher Hampton, the screenwriter of "Dangerous Liaisons," revealed that director Milos Forman attended several performances of Hampton's play, "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," and decided to create his own adaptation of the Choderlos de Laclos novel. This led to a rush to produce "Dangerous Liaisons" in order to beat "Valmont" to the theaters, resulting in divergent critical and box office outcomes. Initially, Wil Wheaton was selected to play the role of Danceny in "Valmont," but his commitments to "Star Trek: The Next Generation" prevented his involvement. As a result, the role went to Henry Thomas. Interestingly, Drew Barrymore, who played Thomas' little sister in "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," was considered for the role of Cecile de Volanges, Danceny's love interest, in the competing film, "Dangerous Liaisons." Fairuza Balk, who was 14 years old at the time of production, had a body double for scenes that involved nudity in "Valmont." This decision was made to ensure her comfort and compliance with legal regulations regarding the depiction of minors in such scenes.
