* OnSetInjury: Creator/JakeGyllenhaal severely cut his hand after he improvised smashing a mirror, resulting in him needing to go to hospital and get 42 stitches; he also needed to wear a cast while wrapping up filming (which is why in the first few scenes Lou often has his hands behind his back to hide the cast).

** Bill Paxton ''gained'' weight for the role, in addition to having unkempt hair and a mustache that needed trimming. He reasoned someone in that line of work would be spending the daytime hours sleeping and getting his equipment in order for the next night, and wouldn't have time for exercise or eating a healthy diet. It worked, in his first scene it was only his highly distinctive voice that allowed moviegoers to recognize him.

Creator Chosen Casting is when the casting of an adaptation is influenced by the creator of the work being adapted; an original character written for a specific actor is not an example

This cut his hand pretty badly and forced him to go to the hospital for stitches. Apparently this scene was also improv, the crew had no idea that Jake had planned on smashing the mirror with his bare hands.

* InspirationForTheWork: Dan Gilroy conceived the idea in 1988, after reading the photo-book ''Naked City'', a collection of photographs taken by American photographer Weegee of 1940s New York City residents at night. Often lewd and sensationalized in content, Weegee would sell these photos to tabloid newspapers. Intrigued by what he described as "an amazing intersection of art and crime and commerce", Gilroy wrote a film treatment with a "''Film/{{Chinatown}}'' feel". However, when ''Film/ThePublicEye'' was released, a film loosely based on Weegee's life, Gilroy shelved the idea. Two years later, he moved to Los Angeles, and noted the predominance of violent crime stories on local news stations. "I suddenly became aware of and intrigued by the idea that it must be a powerful force for a TV station, when they realize their ratings go through the roof when they show something with the potential for violence, like a police chase", says Gilroy. Sometime later, he discovered the stringer profession, and considered it to be the modern day equivalent of Weegee. Unaware of any film that focused on the livelihood of stringers, he began writing a screenplay.
