"The book's subplot of romantic tension between Shaw and Grantham is conspicuously absent from the film, reportedly because of Washington's refusal to have a kiss scene with Julia Roberts, although Roberts had been the one pressuring producers to cast Washington as her co-star."
If this is true, a verifiable citation is needed.

Can we delete this section? It is clutter. It clutters the article. The key question is: does all this nitpicking of differences display any major deviance of the movie plot from the book plot? 2602:306:24DE:C0B9:AC3F:41D2:96CB:15FA ( talk) 01:56, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Subject to seeing the film again (and not having read the book), but I find nowhere in all the commentaries where anyone has noted my pet peeve with this production. Darby-Julia goes nearly the entire film watching people expire due to the content of her "brief", which she reveals to any and all, but we of the audience are never given a peek into the content of it which is so fatally controversial. Isn't it de rigueur for a mystery or suspense story to at least give us a clue as to what it's about sometime before the ending? Is it just me who notices this stuff? And I will come back here and say "oops" if I find that I had just dozed off during that moment early in the film. 64.146.214.243 ( talk) 03:06, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
