- Fake Nationality: Mexican Gael Garcia Bernal and Danish Kim Bodnia play the Iranians Bahari and Rosewater.
- Inspiration for the Work: Jon Stewart was horrified that Maziar Bahari's appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was part of the reason why Bahari was imprisoned and tortured. He set about to create this movie so that Bahari's story could be shared with the world.
- Star-Making Role: In a complex meta way this film is one for John Oliver. Because Jon Stewart took the summer of 2013 off from hosting The Daily Show to make this film Oliver hosted in his absence to strong approval, leading to him getting his own show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
