Ryan Gosling is listed in the credits in gratitude for his cooperation.
Juno Temple, who played young teens in previous films because she looked so young, said in an interview that she was glad to finally be playing more mature characters with this film. She joked. "I've finally hit puberty on camera! Woo-hoo! Before, I'd go for these auditions with an older guy and they'd go, nope, this looks like actual paedophilia."
Nine years later, in 2020, Juno Temple would appear in a television series with the same title. The series is an adaptation of Anais Nin's collection of erotic short stories..
