• The title was announced by The Hollywood Reporter on October 19, 2007.
• This is the fourth consecutive film by Allen shot outside the United States and the first shot in Spain.
• Spanish actor Joan Pera, who dubbed Allen's voice into Spanish and Catalan in several films, played a cameo role in this film.
• For scenes where Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem) and Maria Elena (Penélope Cruz) speak to each other in Spanish, the actors were encouraged to improvise.
• Part of the film takes place in the city of Oviedo. One of Oviedo's attractions is a life-size statue of Woody Allen, which was installed in 2003.
• Woody Allen wrote the characters of Cristina and Juan Antonio specifically for Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem.
• The film is based on a screenplay that Woody Allen wrote many years ago, originally set in San Francisco. Because his contract stipulated that filming had to take place in Spain, Woody Allen rewrote the old screenplay, changing the film's location and some of the characters.
• At the time of filming, Javier Bardem did not have a driver's license, so he had to take driving lessons. By the end of filming, the actor still had not obtained a driver's license.
