Here are some trivia

Director Chris Columbus considered casting "American Idol: The Search for a Superstar" (2002) contestant and "Rent" (1996) Broadway replacement cast member Frenchie Davis as Joanne Jefferson, but decided upon Tracie Thoms for the role.


Spike Lee was for a long time attached to direct. Other rumored directors were Sam Mendes, Rob Marshall, and Baz Luhrmann.


Some of the names that are tagged on the walls are the names of WB studio tour guides.


Taye Diggs (Benny), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel), Jesse L. Martin (Collins), Idina Menzel (Maureen), Adam Pascal (Roger), and Anthony Rapp (Mark) are all from the Original Broadway Cast of RENT in 1996 and are playing their original roles.


In "What You Own", when Mark and Roger are on the roof, you can briefly see the side of the building. If you look closely, "ANGEL" is spray-painted on the side of the building. This was purely coincidental.


In the song "Your Eyes" in which Adam Pascal (Roger Davis) is singing to Rosario Dawson (Mimi Marquez) because of lighting issues Adam Pascal was staring at Rosario Dawson's forehead.


The New Year's Eve sequence was turned into an actual party for the cast and the celebrating was real.


During "Today for You, Tomorrow for Me" Angel jumps up onto the table. Wilson Jermaine Heredia did two takes of that jump; the first take is in the movie, but on the second take he slammed his knees into the table.


During "The Tango Maureen", the eyebrow lift and jacket toss were added because the actors were having fun during rehearsals and the director liked it.


After "The Tango Maureen", when Joanne is talking to Maureen on the phone, the TV screen behind Tracie Thoms showed reflections of the crew. All those shots had to be sent to ILM to remove the reflections.


After "Today for You, Tomorrow for Me" a couple of moments were added by the actors after the director called, "Cut." They are Tom Collins (Jesse L. Martin) making the "whipped" gesture and sound, and Angel (Wilson Jermaine Heredia) hopping out of the screen when he says goodbye to Roger (Adam Pascal).


When Mark and Roger are talking just after Mark's parents called and left a message, in the background you can see a poster for Akira Kurosawa's Ran (1985). Kurosawa is also mentioned in the lyrics to the song "La Vie Boheme."


Mark's mother is played by Randy Graff, wife of Rent's original musical director, Tim Weil.


The DVD release features an alternate ending based on the stage production, with all of the characters save for Angel are singing the finale on-stage. Angel eventually joins the group to finish the song.


One of Johnathan Larson's girlfriends dumped him for a girl the way Maureen dumped Mark for Joanne.


Originally during the "One Song Glory" number there was going to be one flashback of April lying dead in the bathtub, but it was hard to decide when to show it, so it was deleted.


The oft-quoted line "Merry Christmas, bitches!" was improvised by Jesse L. Martin. Director Chris Columbus said on the DVD commentary that Martin changed the line on every take. He also said something to Anthony Rapp after "Merry Christmas, bitches!" that was edited out of the movie and bleeped out when Chris Columbus repeated it in the commentary.


Rosario Dawson has said she choreographed an elaborate routine for her audition song, "Out Tonight." During her actual screen test, she was so nervous she could barely move. Convinced she'd blown her audition, she left the room disappointed. Director Chris Columbus was so impressed, however, he ran after her and cast her on the spot.


The characters of Ali, Gordon, Pam, and Sue in the Life support meeting are named after writer Jonathan Larson's friends who died of AIDS.


Tracie Thoms auditioned for the Broadway production a number of times, but was never cast.


In order to film the beginning of the scene featuring "I'll Cover You", a fake subway entrance had to be built in the East Village. Tracie Thoms actually went back to try and find it, when it had already been dismantled.


During production, an Internet blog was set up on the film's official website. Blog entries were contributed by each of the principal cast members, Chris Columbus, and Julie McCollum. Occasionally, video updates would also be posted, which mostly featured footage (filmed by Anthony Rapp) of the actors on set.


Idina Menzel sang "Over The Moon" live, rather than lip-syncing it.


The metal arch sculpture on Maureen's performance space during "Over the Moon" is an homage to the Broadway show. On the stage of the show, a similar metal sculpture is used throughout different scenes as a Christmas tree, a church steeple, and other various scenery pieces.


The MUTE posters on the wall of the loft are a reference to Adam Pascal's old band.


Although they do not appear in the theatrical release, the numbers for "Halloween" and the second half of "Goodbye Love" were shot. They appear on the DVD.


Taye Diggs (Benny) and Idina Menzel (Maureen) fell in love while performing as part of the original Broadway cast and are now married.


At the end of "Light My Candle", Mimi says "They call me, they call me Mimi..." is actually a line (translated from the original Italian) from the opera "La Boheme" by Puccini.


Since the first half of the movie takes place in the winter and it was filmed in San Francisco and New York during the spring and summer, all of the visible breath, except in "I'll Cover You", coming from the mouths of the actors was put in digitally after production. In "I'll Cover You" it was actually the actors breath coming from their mouths.


Anthony Rapp kept the famous scarf he wore as Mark in the original Broadway show. It could not be used in the film, however, because the white was too bright for the camera. Instead he wears a navy and light gray scarf.


Director Cameo: [Chris Columbus] the frustrated driver whose windshield is being washed.


The word "to" is said/sung 55 times in "La Vie Boheme A & B"


Producer Robert De Niro tried to persuade his longtime friend Martin Scorsese to direct, but the legendary filmmaker was unhappy with the drafts of the screenplay he read and departed the project.


According to her report from the doctor, April's last name is Ericsson.


Jesse L. Martin's character of Det. Green on the NBC show "Law & Order" (1990) was shot in the line of duty to allow Martin to take several months off to film Rent.


Daphne Rubin-Vega and Fredi Walker, the original Broadway Mimi and Joanne, are the only two lead cast members not to reprise their roles for this film. By the time the film went into production, nearly ten years after its first performance, Walker, by her own admission, was too old to play Joanne. Rubin-Vega was pregnant at the time of filming, and was also nearly fifteen years older than the nineteen-year-old Mimi.


The guitar riff Roger plays throughout the show is based on "Musetta's Waltz" from La Boheme.


The original draft of the script ended by revealing that all the action took place as a movie-within-a-movie, and as the final scene was being shot, the camera panned away from the production to reveal real homeless people and drug addicts on a real New York City street.


A number of costumes in the film are based on those from the original stage production, including the striped sweater Mark wears during "La Vie Boheme", Collins' hat, Mimi's New Year's Eve outfit (which she actually wears during 'out tonight' in the stage production), and two of Angel's costumes, the flowered skirt and the Santa suit.


Chris Columbus's daughter, along with Jonathan Larson's nephew Matt, appear in a flashback scene where Roger plays at the Cat Scratch club. The scene is not in the movie, but you can see them in the "seasons of love" teaser.


At the very end of the credits, 'Thank you, Jonathon Larson' comes onto the screen. This could be seen as a reference to the opening night when the entire audience sat silent for what seemed like forever until a young male voice in the back of the house yelled that line.


Choreographer cameo: Keith Young is the man who catches the pool cue Idina Menzel throws in "Take Me or Leave Me."


Several character names are updated from La Boheme. Marcello the painter became Mark the filmmaker; Rudolfo the poet became Roger the musician; Colline the philosopher became Tom Collins. Benoit the landlord became Benny married-to-the-daughter-of-the-landlord, Musetta became Maureen, and Alcindoro the rich elderly man became Joanne the young female lawyer. Schaunard the musician became Angel. Mimi the young downstairs neighbor has the same name in both shows.


During the scene where Mimi buys drugs in the park, a couple of kids run by. One of the boys is Chris Columbus's (the director) son.
