Development

The film adaption has been in development for 11 years. On May 23, 2013, it was announced that the film titled Carol, directed by Todd Haynes and starring Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska, was in pre-production. The film is produced by Elizabeth Karlsen and Stephen Woolley of Number 9 Films and distributed in the United States by The Weinstein Company. On August 31, 2013, it was announced that Wasikowska was replaced by Rooney Mara. On January 20, 2014 it was announced that Carter Burwell will score the music for the film. Edward Lachman would be the director of photography. On February 4, Cory Michael Smith was cast as Tommy, a charming traveling salesman who meets Blanchett and Mara’s characters on the road. On April 8, John Magaro joined the cast as Dannie, a writer with an artistic spirit who works at The New York Times. On April 9, 2014 Carrie Brownstein also joined the cast to make her film debut, playing the role of Genevieve Cantrell, a woman who has an encounter with Therese.

Filming

In December 2013 it was announced that Carol would be filmed in Cincinnati, Ohio, and production offices would open in early January 2014, with filming set to be done from mid-March through May. The seven-week shooting of the film commenced on March 12, 2014 at Eden Park in Cincinnati. Blanchett was also spotted during the filming scenes at the set. On March 25, 2014, Blanchett and crew were in the Cincinnati suburb of Wyoming shooting a house scene at 32 Fleming Rd. On March 31, 2014, the crews filmed some scenes in Lebanon, Ohio, with Blanchett on location for a one day shoot. The next day they returned to Cincinnati to shoot the rest of the film. On April 14, 2014, scenes involving Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara were shot at Kostas Restaurant in downtown Hamilton, Ohio. Filming wrapped on April 25, 2014. Various locations in Ohio were used during filming, including Downtown Cincinnati, Hyde Park, Over-the-Rhine, and other restaurants and motels.

Post-production

On December 15, 2014, Haynes confirmed deliverables were completed. In early 2015, Brownstein told Paste Magazine that most of her scenes were cut due to the film's length.

Release

Marketing

The first official image from Carol, released by Film4, appeared on the London Evening Standard on May 16, 2014.

A second image from the film was released on January 5, 2015.
