-
Gyllenhaal lost 20 pounds for the film. This is not the director's request and his own opinion. In his eyes, Lou is like a "hungry coyote", so he must be thin.
-
In the scene where Jack Gyllenhaal talks to himself in the mirror, he gets too deep into the scene. He smashes the mirror with his hand, and this scene is not in the script. The injured Gyllenhaal was sent to the hospital for a few stitches and immediately returned to the set.
-
Lou in the film rarely or almost never blinks. In fact, Gyllenhaal had used this method before when he starred in the protagonist of "Death Illusion."
-
In order to play Lou's assistant Rick, actor Riz Ahmed once haunted with the real "Nightcrawler" to find the feeling of acting.
-
Jack Gyllenhaal memorized the lines of the entire movie, and he performed it as a stage play.
-
The background music in the film can be regarded as the music Lou imagined in his mind in every scene.
-
This film is the directorial debut of Dan Gilroy. And Renee Russell, who plays the heroine Nina, is his wife.
-
The film was shot on Laurel Valley Avenue in the San Fernando Valley, a few blocks away from the location of the famous "North Hollywood Shooting."
-
Although Lou claimed that he had a physical relationship with Nina, the two people in the film did not even kiss once, not to mention the intimate scenes. This may have a lot to do with Nina's actor being the director's wife.

Lou Bloom: [repeated line] You have to make the money to buy a ticket.

Lou Bloom: What if my problem wasn't that I don't understand people but that I don't like them? What if I was the kind of person who was obliged to hurt you for this? I mean physically. I think you'd have to believe afterward, if you could, that agreeing to participate and then backing out at the critical moment was a mistake. Because that's what I'm telling you, as clearly as I can.
