• Nicole Kidman was originally cast in the role of Jane Smith, but dropped out for unknown reasons. After leaving the project several actresses were considered for the role including, Gwen Stefani, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Cate Blanchett before deciding on Angelina Jolie.
• After Kidman dropped off of the project Brad Pitt also signed off as a replacement was not immediately found. He signed back on the project once they got Angelina Jolie to commit, but for awhile the studios had to consider other actors to play the role of Mr. Smith, including Johnny Depp and Will Smith.
• The original draft of the script was actually the college thesis of screenwriter Simon Kinberg, but he had problems making it into a working script. He reportedly had help from several screenwriters including Kieran Mulroney, Michele Mulroney and Jez Butterworth who all remain uncredited as he worked through more than 50 drafts of the script.
• Numerous cuts were made in the film including changing the ending three times, changing the villains, and eliminating entire characters including Mr. Smith's boss who was played by Angela Bassett. Some of the cuts that are not seen in the film can be spotted in the trailer, including a scene in which Mr. Smith rides a bike while shooting a gun.
• The scene in which Brad Pitt as Mr. Smith is chasing after Mrs. Smith only to trip over a fence and have his gun discharge was not in the script, that mistake was real and was captured on film, along with Pitt's reaction to the mistake by saying "Oh, dear God."
