In his DVD commentary, Jeunet explains that he originally wrote the role of Amélie for the English actress Emily Watson; in the original draft, Amélie's father was an Englishman living in London. However, Watson's French was not strong, and when she became unavailable to shoot the film, owing to a conflict with the filming of Gosford Park, Jeunet rewrote the screenplay for a French actress. Audrey Tautou was the first actress he auditioned having seen her on the poster for the 1. Venus Beauty Institute. The movie was filmed mainly in Paris.

Rue Lepic, Montmartre, Paris) where Amélie works is a real place.[4]The filmmakers made use of computer- generated imagery and a digital intermediate.[5] The studio scenes were filmed in the Coloneum Studio in Cologne (Germany).
