Trivia of Havoc
- 'Mandy Moore (II)' (qv) and then 'Kate Bosworth' (qv) were originally cast as Allison.- The original writer, 'Jessica Kaplan (I)' (qv), died at age 24 in a small plane crash over Los Angeles' Fairfax district (6 June 2003), just before filming started. The plane was piloted by her uncle. The film is dedicated to her.
- New Line Cinema had this screenplay sitting on their shelf for seven years.
- Originally titled "The Powers That Be" when written in 1995, and retitled "Havoc" in early 2003.
- The song that Allison sings at the high school party is "How Do You Want It?" by 'Tupac Shakur' (qv)
- SPOILER: The original ending for the film was at Toby's funeral. He was the only one that was killed during the ending shootout. The scene was scripted but was never shot.
- The song the two girls are singing while trying drugs is "Can I Get A..." by 'Jay-Z' (qv). They are singing the part where 'Amil' (qv) sings.
- When Allison is at the police station after the bust on the street, the girl talking to her in cell says, "...then the cop started asking me these really dumb questions, like what's closer to you now, the moon or Europe?" That question was asked to the co-writer of the movie, 'Stephen Gaghan' (qv), when he was detained by drug officers during his battle with drug addiction. The whole story can be found in a Newsweek article written by Stephen Gaghan.
- Was originally supposed to star 'Mandy Moore (II)' (qv) as Allison and 'Jena Malone' (qv) as Emily.
- SPOILER: The role of Emily was offered to 'Lindsay Lohan' (qv) who turned it down. In an interview, Lohan commented "I got this one script where this girl wants to join a Latino gang and she gets raped. I can't be doing that right now. I don't think that's appropriate."
- 'Bijou Phillips (I)' (qv) and 'Anne Hathaway (I)' (qv) refused to do any press or promotions for the film after producers got heavily involved and took the final cut away from the film's female director ('Barbara Kopple' (qv)). This led to the film not being released in theaters.
