| 3 | * FakeAmerican: The British Creator/CareyMulligan as the American Jean. |
| 4 | * FakeNationality: The Guatemalan Oscar Isaac as the Welsh-Italian Llewyn, though it's possible Llewyn is at least part Latino; his Italian mother is only mentioned in response to Roland's racist needling and his non-stereotypically-Anglo appearance is remarked upon by other characters. |
| 5 | * IronyAsSheIsCast: Unlike Llewyn Davis, Creator/OscarIsaac hates cats. |
| 6 | * NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: In an interview included on the DVD, Ethan Coen said: |
| 7 | -->The cat was a nightmare. The trainer warned us and she was right. She said, uh, "Dogs like to please you. The cat only likes to please itself." A cat basically is impossible to train. We have a lot of footage of cats doing things we don't want them to do, if anyone's interested; I don't know if there's a market for that. |
| 8 | * PlayingAgainstType: Carey Mulligan, best-known for playing quiet [[BrokenBird Broken Birds]] or bright ingenues, plays a foul-mouthed, bitter JerkAss. |
| 9 | * ProductionPosse: Nearly averted. Aside from Creator/JohnGoodman, none of the major Coen players are featured in this film. To an even greater extent, this marks the first film where neither cinematographer Roger Deakins nor composer Carter Burwell were participants (though there have been [[Film/BurnAfterReading previous]] [[Film/OBrotherWhereArtThou films]] where one or the other was not involved). |
| 10 | * TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: Unlike most Coen Brothers films, this one had a hard time finding distribution after its completion due to films about the music industry being box office poison and the lack of a major lead. Finally, CBS Films (who ironically shelved the Coen Brothers-written ''Film/{{Gambit}}'' and dumped it Direct to DVD in April of the following year.) picked it up for a December 2013 release. |
| 11 | * StarMakingRole: For Creator/OscarIsaac, who was cast in ''[[Film/TheForceAwakens Star Wars: The Force Awakens]]'' and ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' shortly thereafter. |
| 12 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/CaseyAffleck, Creator/MichaelFassbender and Creator/RyanReynolds auditioned for the role of Llewyn Davis. |
