* CreatorBacklash: Screenwriter Jack Barth [[https://uproxx.com/movies/jack-barth-interview-yesterday-writer-richard-curtis/ created the original script]] based on his own unsuccessful attempts to break into screenwriting for decades, and intended for Jack to not have any success with his selling Beatles songs. Barth managed to sell his script, becoming one of the oldest first time screenwriters to get a script produced at the age of 62... and Richard Curtis promptly rewrote the whole thing and reduced Barth to a "Story By" credit. Naturally, Barth is not pleased with the finished film, especially since it gives a completely ''opposite'' moral to what he intended.



** In the first draft of the script, Jack only become moderately successful thanks to the songs. This was changed to him becoming a worldwide sensation, and his love story with Ellie being emphasised too. Overall the story became LighterAndSofter.

** There would have been a LogoJoke with a more Beatlesque orchestration of Brian Tyler/Jerry Goldsmith's opening Universal logo music (complete with chamber orchestration, heavy piano, Ringo-ish drum fills and Harrison-esque guitar leads).
