Trivia

– Amber Heard spends 45% of her entire performance screentime completely nude.

– The house party that opens the film was shot at a mansion in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

– Because Los Angeles has changed so much between the mid 1980’s and 2008, and because filming there was so expensive, most of the film was made in Montevideo, Uruguay, which boasted enough locations and resources to recreate 1980’s LA at a lower cost.

– In interviews, Bret Easton Ellis has expressed disappointment with how the film turned out.
