The documentary "Walking the Mile" (which is included on the DVD) features the making of a scene, where Edgecomb and his wife are in a church. That scene is not in the final film. The church is probably the one mentioned by Hanks character when he says to Melinda that "we missed you in church".
One version that occasionally shows up on UK television has all uses of the 'N' word, and its derivations, edited out.
Although originally rated R(A) (21+) for cinemas and M18 for video releases, the Singaporean Censor Board edited the film for a PG rating for re-rating to reduce the execution sequences, some language, and some violence.
International prints and Peacock streaming prints of The Green Mile open with the Universal Pictures logo.
