The trailer suggests that Brideshead Revisited has little in connection with the novel and diverges at various points from the novel's plot.
[edit] Production
David Yates was set to direct this film, but had to step aside from the director's chair to direct Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix instead. While Yates was attached, Paul Bettany, Jennifer Connelly, and Jude Law were cast in the roles of Charles, Julia and Sebastian respectively. It was also announced that Chatsworth House in Derbyshire would be used as Brideshead.[2]
[edit] Location
The location used for Brideshead is in fact Castle Howard in North Yorkshire. Though Chatsworth House was considered, it was finally decided to return to Castle Howard - the original location of the popular TV serial of the same name that was first broadcast in 1981. Brideshead Revisited has contributed to Castle Howard's success as a major visitor attraction only 13 miles from the historic city of York. Filming of the Brideshead Revisited film took place at Castle Howard during the summer of 2007 and many film extras were employed from the local population.
