** [[spoiler:Creator/DavidLynch]] wasn't initially interested in taking up the role of John Ford, as he was concerned that he would be taking the role from actual well-acclaimed actors such as Creator/HarrisonFord and Creator/GeorgeClooney. He eventually changed his mind though, as he legitimately liked the scene, and agreed with Ford's interpretation on horizons in a frame.

* AwardCategoryFraud: Creator/MichelleWilliams was considered a front-runner for Best Supporting Actress when the film premiered in the fall of 2022. However, she decided to campaign in the Lead category, where she didn't have much chance against front-runners Creator/MichelleYeoh and Creator/CateBlanchett. While Williams does have the largest female role as Mitzi in the film, its point of view dominantly belongs to Sammy (Gabriel [=LaBelle=]). Mitzi is almost entirely absent from the third act, but she does have her own defined story and arc when she is on-screen. There were reports that Williams was concerned that a supporting nomination for a borderline role would damage her ability to bargain for larger salaries.

While the film received [[AcclaimedFlop glowing reviews]], it was nevertheless released during a highly packed winter 2023 season with big, mass-appealing spectacles including ''Film/AvatarTheWayOfWater'', ''Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever'', and ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'', and even Spielberg's prestige couldn't draw in much theatre attention for this relatively quiet, mid-budget drama.
