• Tandy Wright, who played the mother of the main character, was the intimacy coordinator on the set of the horror film "X" (Ti West, 2022), and director Ti West offered her the role of Ruth immediately after finishing filming "X". According to Ti West, Wright had to learn German urgently for the role, and as a result, she began to speak German so well that she even fooled two German crew members.
• Ti West and Mia Goth worked on the script during a mandatory two-week quarantine imposed due to the coronavirus pandemic in New Zealand, communicating via "FaceTime" (a video and audio calling technology). This was before the start of filming the horror film "X". They both hoped that the company "A24" (an American independent entertainment company specializing in the production and distribution of films and television programs) would give the "go-ahead" for filming "Pearl". Fortunately, that happened.
• The film was secretly shot concurrently with the horror film "X" (2022), with "Pearl" serving as a prequel and showing the life of the main character in 1918, long before the events depicted in "X".
• Pearl's insane smile, shown in the end credits, was not originally planned, but Ti West seized on this acting find and decided to leave it in the film. The scene serving as the background for the end credits became one of the most tense in the entire film.

• Initially, the film was intended to be black and white, but A24 (an independent company specializing in the production and distribution of films and television programs) began to object, and the film was shot in vibrant color.
• Pearl’s manic smile in the finale wasn’t planned, but Tai West seized upon this acting choice.
