- In casting the lead role of Johnny Marco, Coppola met with Leonardo DiCaprio, but from an early stage of writing she had her old acquaintance Stephen Dorff in mind.
- Coppola called Stephen Dorff to ask him to read the script on what happened to be the one-year anniversary of the death of his mother, who had encouraged him to expand beyond his villainous roles.
- Kristina and Karissa Shannon were Playboy models, brought to Coppola's attention by a friend, who were told nothing about their characters before being cast as twin poledancers.
- The sound of the phone ringing in one scene was added by the editor, Sarah Flack, to indicate that Marco has been forgotten.
