* AbilityOverAppearance: The role of Colonel Powell was written for a man, but was given a GenderFlip so Creator/HelenMirren could star. This is not the first time this has happened to her - as Julie Taymor's [[Film/TheTempest2010 film version]] of ''Theatre/TheTempest'' changed the lead character to a female to accommodate her.

* CreatorCameo: Director Gavin Hood also plays the Lt Colonel Ed Walsh.



* InMemoriam: The film is dedicated to Alan Rickman, as it was his final live-action appearance.
* NoBudget: Only made for $13 million. It was apparently so tight that most of Helen Mirren's scenes had her delivering lines to the director while facing green screen. Most actors worked individually in other scenes, and none of the four leads even met until the wrap party.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Tarsem Singh and Oliver Hierschbergl were attached to direct at different points before Gavin Hood came on board.
** Colin Firth was set to star as the Foreign Secretary when the film was first announced in 2014. He was ultimately played by Iain Glen - though Colin Firth remained on board as producer.
