It's funny...my parents named me after this movie because my dad loved John Sayles. Until a few years ago, they wouldn't tell me what the movie was about. I haven't even seen it. Perhaps I will in the near future, just so I have something to base my namessake off.

In this film, it's pronounced lee-ANN-nuh.
shareIn the original script it was 'Linea' and was changed to Lianna, or so I've read.
shareThat's interesting. Like LIN-ee-uh or lin-EE-uh? Most likely, the script didn't have the phonetic translation. I thought this was an awkward title when the film was released, but it stuck with me, so it's the perfect "name" title.
shareI've always said "Lee-AH-na"
