Pope approached Lohan's manager about the possibility of Lohan playing a cameo, but during a meeting with Pope and Paul Schrader she said she wanted to play the lead.Two weeks later she screen tested and was cast.

Early on, the filmmakers considered casting Sean Brosnan as Christian, but when Monica Gambee fell out, they wanted to cast somebody more edgy and unexpected. Ellis had mentioned several times that he had Deen in mind for Christian's role and when he, Pope and Deen met, Deen was promised a screen test. Schrader was reluctant at first, because he thought it was unlikely he would cast him due to his acting experiences in porn.After being surprised by Deen's acting abilities and charisma, Schrader was still reluctant to cast him but with Ellis and Pope were collectively intrigued by the idea of casting Lohan and Deen in the leads and ultimately did.

When asked about casting The Canyons, Ellis stated: "Dealing with the casting of The Canyons was a great, liberating process--for both the production team and for actors in general. We used letitcast and saw some amazing actors that we will definitely keep in mind for future projects. The way the entire cast came together so quickly was a thrill and everyone who landed their roles deserved them. Using social media as a way to help build a film is really like riding the wave into the future." Said Pope, “Nothing about this film was orchestrated in a traditional way. We wanted to actively embrace all the digital and social media tools at our disposal and give the film real cinematic value – ‘The Canyons’ is the result of a forward thinking experiment with a terrific cast.” Schrader said: “Bret Easton Ellis' characters are beautiful people doing bad things in nice rooms.
