5 Fun Facts about Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
(1) Christa B. Allen played the younger version of a character portrayed by Jennifer Garner for the second time in “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.” The first collaboration was in “13 Going on 30” (2004).
(2) Originally set up at Walt Disney Pictures, the film had Ben Affleck attached to the lead role and Kevin Smith as the director. However, due to various factors, including Harvey Weinstein’s objections, the project faced delays and cancellations before being revived with a different cast.
(3) In a street scene after a visit to the secretary’s apartment, an old bookshop in the background is named “Fezziwig’s Books.” This is a nod to Mr. Fezziwig from Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” drawing a parallel to the contrast between the cheery Fezziwig and the dour Ebenezer Scrooge.
(4) “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” is loosely based on Charles Dickens’ classic novel, “A Christmas Carol in Prose, 1843.”
(5) In a spoiler-related detail, a fantasy scene depicts Jennifer Garner’s character, Jenny, marrying Brad in the “Martha-May Chapel at the Wayside Inn” in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Interestingly, this chapel and character name also appear in Garner’s film “The Invention of Lying” (2009), adding a quirky connection between the two movies released in the same year.
