Trivia
Was going to be for Adam Sandler
At fist, Kristoffer Borgli wrote the film script and Ari Aster was going to direct, having chosen Adam Sandler for the main role. However, after Borgli's last film success, A24 deciden to let him direct his own script and he wanted Nicolas Cage on the main role.
Based on a "true" story?
The story has sort of a base in some reports that went viral in 2009, after a website was affirming that more than 3000 people have dreamt with the same person. Although the invention had some popularity by then, it was soon debunked and revealed to be a guerrilla marketing campaign from Italian publicist Andrea Natella.
