* DeletedScene: A few, some of which were used in teasers.
** One version of the part where Freddie and Dodd dig up Dodd's manuscript has them also unearth a revolver. Freddie picks up the gun and hands it to Dodd, who winds up pointing it at himself while inspecting it, prompting Freddie to swipe it away from Dodd's face. Later scenes show Freddie playing with the gun (unloaded, fortunately) while in Dodd's Arizona office.
** There are a few deleted scenes based around the premise that The Cause's founding book [[BrownNote can cause people who read it to die]]. These include Clark explaining the book's history to Freddie, who reacts with skepticism, Clark asking Lodd if a book can really kill people as a segue for questioning Freddie's loyalties, and Freddie opening the chest containing the manuscript and watching it inexplicably shoot fire before closing it back.

* DevelopmentHell: Universal financed the script but ultimately passed on the film in 2010, either due to budget concerns or nervousness about the Church of Scientology, or maybe both. Anderson had to get independent financing, which delayed the film for two more years and led to Creator/JoaquinPhoenix getting the role that was originally supposed to go to Creator/JeremyRenner.
* MethodActing: Phoenix spent three months in character, which impressed the director so much that he compared him to Creator/DanielDayLewis and his dedication to character.
* ProductionPosse: This is Anderson's sixth film and the fifth to feature Philip Seymour Hoffman, who has missed only ''Film/ThereWillBeBlood''.
