  • Dunne reportedly recognized the story’s exhilarating, dangerous encounters with strangers from his own life. — Bill Simmons
  • Reported $4.5 million budget and $10.6 million gross. — Sean Fennessey
  • Joseph Minion reportedly wrote the screenplay as a film-school senior thesis at 21; the later half is described as more strongly shaped by Scorsese. — Sean Fennessey
  • Dunne and Amy Robinson’s production partnership and Baby It’s You brought Arquette and Ballhaus connections into After Hours. — Sean Fennessey
  • Club Berlin’s doorman dialogue reportedly draws on Kafka’s Before the Law and frustrations making Last Temptation of Christ. — Bill Simmons
  • Cafe Central connected the cast and producers; Bruce Willis reportedly tended bar while famous actors socialized without paparazzi. — Bill Simmons
  • Heard’s carousing reputation worried Scorsese before the producers persuaded him; already-gentrifying Soho required Chinatown, Little Italy and Tribeca substitutions. — Bill Simmons
  • A documentary reportedly recounts Dunne and Carrie Fisher’s youthful sexual encounter as an act of friendship. — Bill Simmons
  • A reported Fiorentino/Pellicano/Rossini case is recounted; speculation that it explains her acting hiatus is explicitly only a guess. — Bill Simmons
  • Michael Powell’s mentorship reportedly helped Scorsese determine tone and ending; his own professional exile created a kinship. — Sean Fennessey
