- All-Star Cast: The film is practically a who's who of middle-aged British actors, with Keira Knightley, Matt Smith, and Ralph Fiennes leading the pack.
- Dyeing for Your Art: Surprisingly averted: the real Katharine Gun is a blonde (as seen in Stock Footage at the end of the film), but Knightley keeps her natural brown hair while playing her.
- Playing with Character Type: Ed Vulliamy, the reporter Rhys Ifans plays, is scruffy and profane, which Ifans has played many times before, but he's also an Intrepid Reporter and politically passionate, which is not the type of role Ifans usually plays.
- What Could Have Been: The film began development in January 2016 and initially cast Harrison Ford, Anthony Hopkins, Paul Bettany, Natalie Dormer, Martin Freeman, Tahar Rahim, and Gillian Anderson. It fell apart and was redeveloped from scratch starting in January 2018.
