What's left behind the scenes
- Filming took 12 weeks.
- Eliza displays existing records of The Great Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller Plays Selections from The Glenn Miller Story and Other Hits. Both were released in 1956.
- It took over 9 months to create the creature's appearance. Guillermo del Toro claims that "The Shape of Water" is the most complex film he has ever undertaken.
- Guillermo del Toro began working on the film in 2011. He financed many aspects of the production (particularly the creation of the laboratory and the creature on screen) out of his own pocket.
- Initially, Guillermo del Toro wanted to shoot the film in black and white, but he changed his mind when the studio offered to increase the budget if the film was shot in color.
- It took Doug Jones three hours each day to get into the creature's costume. The actor stated that he had never had so much trouble with a costume in any of del Toro's previous films.
- The main inspiration for creating “The Shape of Water” was the film “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” which the director watched as a child. Del Toro was captivated by the gill-man even then, despite his unappealing appearance, wanting to see a successful development of a romantic storyline between the creature and the kidnapped Kay Lawrence. Initially, Del Toro wanted to remake the film, where the plot would also revolve around an expedition in the upper reaches of the Amazon, but with the difference that a woman would lead the group, and a romance would develop between her and the gill-man. The director attempted to negotiate with Universal to create the film, but the company's executives rejected the idea.
