Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Argylle (2024)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Argylle's marketing sold Elly Conway, the name of the film's lead character, as the real author of the novel behind the script, but The Hollywood Reporter could not verify that she existed and could not reach her, her publicist or her agent.
- Social media users suspected Taylor Swift had written the Argylle novel as Elly Conway, partly because Conway and Swift both own Scottish Fold cats; Matthew Vaughn denied it, yet Swift's cat did shape the film's use of one.
- In August 2021 Apple TV+ bought the rights to Argylle for $200 million, a figure some industry journals reported as the production budget, while The Hollywood Reporter said sources put the cost as high as $250 million.
