* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/PhilipSeymourHoffman was the original actor in mind when Creator/PaulThomasAnderson wrote the role of HM Tillford, but Anderson decided to cast someone else as a means of distancing himself from his past works & have a sort of rebirth in his career without any loose ends connecting him to other, more lighthearted films. Hoffman was also busy filming ''Film/SynecdocheNewYork'' at the time Tillford's scenes were being shot anyway.

* CastTheRunnerUp: Creator/PaulDano was originally been cast in the much smaller role of Paul Sunday, Eli's brother, and another actor had been cast as Eli. However, after Dano had already started filming his one scene as Paul Sunday, Creator/PaulThomasAnderson decided to replace the actor playing Eli. Anderson then asked Dano to play Eli Sunday (a much bigger role) as well as Paul Sunday, and they decided to change the film to make the brothers identical twins.

The look of shock when Eli tumbles to the ground is genuine. His hatred of Eli, which he continued even off-camera, led Paul Dano to confess he thought he would actually die during some points of the filming.
