Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Filming finished in November 2009, although Brooks later reshot the film's opening and the ending. Bill Murray had been Brooks' original choice for the role of Charles Madison.
- The combined salaries for the director Brooks (about $10 million) and the four major stars totalled about $50 million: Reese Witherspoon $15 million, Nicholson $12 million, Owen Wilson $10 million and Rudd $3 million.
- James L. Brooks started work in 2005 wanting to make a film about a young female athlete. Interviewing numerous women for hundreds of hours, he also became interested in executives held legally accountable for corporate behavior they may not even be aware of, and created Paul Rudd's and Jack Nicholson's characters for that.
