Trivia

When Jeremy Thomas first bought the rights back in 1975, he intended for Nicolas Roeg to direct.

'High-Rise' has been a stalled passion project for producer Jeremy Thomas for decades. It was once deemed "unfilmable."

Tom Hiddleston spent time with a forensic pathologist to prepare for his role since his character, Dr. Robert Laing, is a physiologist.
