Trivia
The scenes at Auburn were originally supposed to be shot on location on the campus of Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, but the school officials asked for script approval and the production didn't have time to wait so they filmed the scenes at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama instead.

Continuity: When Edward is in Spectre having lunch together with Norther Winslow and the mayor, Norther is holding his cup with both hands. When the camera goes down under the table to shoot Jenny while she steals Edward's shoes, Norther has his own hand close to his knee. In the very next shot Norther Winslow is holding his cup with both hands again. See more »Quotes
