Trivia / The 15:17 to Paris

• Creator Killer: This is the only film/project that the screenwriter Dorothy Blyskal wrote. She has not done anything after that.
• Doing It for the Art: Clint Eastwood knew the film was unlikely to be a blockbuster, but directed it anyway to honor the men that stopped the attack.
• Fake Nationality: Iranian-American Ray Corasani plays the Morrocan Ayoub El Khazzani.
• Follow the Leader: The film came after a similar deluge of other movies examining real-life terrorist attacks of The New '10s, like 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and Patriots Day.
