1.
Throughout the entire movie, we never actually see Diana speak to Howard.
2.
Director Sidney Lumet said that he shot the film using a specific lighting scheme. He said in the film's opening scenes, he shot with as little light as possible, almost shooting the film like a documentary. As the film progressed, he added more light and more camera moves and by the end of the film, it was as brightly lit and "slick" as he could make it.
3.
Black radical Laureen Hobbs's character is loosely modeled after communist activist Angela Davis
4.
The director and the screenwriter claimed that the film was not meant to be a satire but a reflection of what was really happening.
5.
The movie's line "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" was voted as the #19 movie quote by the American Film Institute.
6.
According to Shaun Considine, the author of "Mad As Hell: The Life and Work of Paddy Chayefsky", George C. Scott was offered the role of Howard Beale but declined without reading the script, apparently due to his having once been offended by director Sidney Lumet. Whatever happened, exactly, the hatchet must have been buried at some time, as George C. Scott made his final feature film appearance in the Lumet-directed film Gloria (1999).
7.
In Shaun Considine's biography of Paddy Chayefsky, it is revealed that Glenn Ford and William Holden were the finalists for the role of Max Schumaker. Holden's recent success in The Towering Inferno (1974) was believed to have been the deciding factor in his casting.
8.
James Stewart turned the film down because of the strong language.
9.
Henry Fonda turned down the role of Howard Beale, saying that it was "too hysterical."
10.
To celebrate Faye Dunaway's first Oscar victory, husband-to-be photographer, Terry O'Neill, arranged to meet her at the Beverly Hills Hotel at 6:30 am the morning after the Academy Awards for a photo shoot. What transpired was the famous image of a listless Dunaway, reclining beside the tranquil hotel swimming pool with her Oscar statuette standing upright on the table beside her. 
10.5
Thrown in for good measure were various newspapers scattered on the ground and table, the headlines of which mostly echoed the previous night's festivities. Dunaway had not slept since her win and so appears totally fatigued, prompting O'Neill to title his photograph "The Morning After" shot.

1.
Director Cameo: [Alexandre Aja] Alex's Father's legs.
2.
Alexandre Aja and Grégory Levasseur are childhood friends and made this film as a homage to the old-school horror films of the 70's and 80's that the two would watch together growing up.
3.
According to Alexander Aja the scene where Marie hides from the killer in the gas station restroom was a homage to a similar scene in the movie Maniac (1980).
4.
SPOILER: The scene of Marie searching for Alexia in the cornfield originally ended with Marie catching a glimpse of the killer's rusty truck in the center of the field, but the shot was cut to keep the film a bit more ambiguous.
5.
SPOILER: According to Alexandre Aja the brutal death of Jimmy was modeled after the infamous axe murder in The Shining (1980).

1.
Although this won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, ironically it is not terribly well regarded in its native Brazil where some object to the depiction of their country as being a non-stop party. 
2.
The film's two stars, Breno Mello and Marpessa Dawn died within weeks of each other almost half a century after the film was made. 




"So there you are. A wave of joy has carried away my farewell film. I will be sad if you did not like it, because I gave it my all, as much as any member of my crew."

"My star is a hibiscus flower. Any celebrities you may have recognized along the way appear not because they are famous, but because they fit the roles they play and because they are my friends." -- Jean Cocteau

"A Little Bird Told Me"

A little bird told me that you love me
And I believe that you do
This little bird told me  I was fallin'
Fallin' for no one but you

There's no use denying
Might as well confess
Of all the boys I know, dear
I'm sure I love you best

The little bird told me we'd be happy
And I believe that it's true
A little bird told me we'd be married
And I believe that it's true

1.
It was rumored that Cate Blanchett was originally the voice of Mrs. Fox, but was replaced by Meryl Streep. According to Wes Anderson, however, he had only spoken to Blanchett about the part around the time of filming The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), but never got further than that: "I think that was on the internet before it was really meant to be. For a long time there were versions of the cast out there that were not very accurate."
2.
Mr. Fox's implanting of sleeping powder into blueberries for unsuspecting guard dogs to consume was taken from another Roald Dahl book, Danny the Champion of the World, in which raisins were used similarly on unsuspecting pheasants. When the Dahl attorneys learned of this, they wanted it removed. But because it had already been filmed, Wes Anderson pleaded with them and was able to keep it in the film.
3.
The American Cathedral in Paris's choir were hired to sing the "Boggis, Bunce and Bean" limerick. They were recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, England, in Studio Two, which is most famous for having been where The Beatles recorded almost all of their music.
4.
Film debut of Hugo Guinness, who voices Bunce. Wes Anderson is a fan of Guinness, a British artist whose work can be seen on the walls of the Tenenbaums' house in The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).
5.
The inspiration for the naming of the character Kristofferson came from singer, songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson, not only because both Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach are fans of his work, but also because they simply liked the name.
6.
Roald Dahl's "Fantastic Mr. Fox" was the first book Wes Anderson owned. His mother, Texas Ann Burroughs, bought it for him at the St. Francis book fair in Austin, Texas when he was about seven years old. Anderson has kept this same copy on his bookshelf ever since.
7.
Throughout the film, the word "cuss" is used in place of actual cursing. When asked about its origin in a radio interview on "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross, Wes Anderson said, "I don't even remember. It think it was just to use the concept of profanity as a replacement for profanity itself. It turned out to be very versatile." In keeping with this theme, one of the buildings seen in the film bears "CUSS" written as spray-painted graffiti.
8.
The color scheme of the movie is primarily autumnal (yellows, oranges, and browns) with virtually no green and blue. However, Kristofferson's blue-colored wardrobe was intentional, as it emphasized his being a visiting outsider.
9.
The song Mole plays on the piano is actually Art Tatum's recording of the Cole Porter song "Night and Day". The use of this recording is something of an inside joke, as Tatum was blind and moles are known for having very poor vision.
10.
When reciting the Latin names of each animal, Mr. Fox says he doesn't know the one for opossum. It is Didelphis virginiana.
11.
Kristofferson's unaccompanied minor badge reads, "Name: Kristofferson Silverfox. Height: 42cm (tall - for a cub). Weight: 3.5kg. Allergies: None. Reason for travel: Ill father."
12.
The original story was written at a dark time in Roald Dahl's life. He had already lost one of his five children to measles and witnessed another one suffer from water on the brain as the result of a car accident. It was only natural that he would be spurred on to write a tale portraying the father as a protector of the family.
13.
One of two films released in 2009 to feature a talking fox. The other was Lars von Trier's controversial Antichrist (2009).
14.
SPOILER: When everyone toasts with juice boxes in the supermarket at the end of the film, Ash is the only one holding a grape juice box, as opposed to the others' apple juice boxes.
15.
SPOILER: The scene in which Rat and Mr. Fox fight to the death originally included Rat making reference to his wristwatch, stating, "I've still got the watch... She never asked for it back," referring to Mrs. Fox. The dialogue was inspired by an actual onstage aside from Keith Richards to Eric Clapton at a rehearsal of a concert staged by Sheryl Crow, which was witnessed by Wes Anderson. However, the scene was ultimately changed for the final film.
