The film's writer and director, Jimmy Warden, is married in real life to its leading actress, Samara Weaving.
One of the crossed-off names on Sofia's list is Antonio Banderas. Banderas starred in Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, which centres on a mentally ill patient who kidnaps a celebrity so he can marry her.
Loosely inspired by a stalking case involving Madonna in the 1990s. In 1996 a violent man was convicted and handed a ten-year sentence for stalking and threatening the life of the pop icon Madonna, reportedly telling one of her bodyguards he would slit her throat if she didn't marry him. He later escaped from a psychiatric hospital but was swiftly recaptured before any further harm occurred.
A policeman standing in the street outside Bell's house is heard singing the number 'Top Hat, White Tie and Tails', which hails from Fred Astaire's 1935 film 'Top Hat'.
Rhodes, a sportsman portrayed by Jimmie Fails, serves as a stand-in for Dennis Rodman, who in 1994 had a brief but highly publicised relationship with Madonna — the figure on whom Samara Weaving's character is based.
