In the shot where Sunny's head hits the wall, Miranda Moffat's head actually hit the wall with full force because Nick Banko tripped when the shot was being filmed. Both Jesse McAnally and Nick Banko felt so bad that they nearly halted production indefinitely. However, Miranda claimed she was fine and the scene was finished that day.
The house used in the film was actually a historical building in the city of Romulus where the movie was filmed. The director had to receive permission from the city of Romulus as well as the Romulus Historical Society before he could even enter the building.
The scene in the graveyard was re-shot twice.
Two copies of The Great Gatsby were used throughout filming. The first one was destroyed while filming the cemetery scene.
The Great Gatsby shirt used in the film actually belonged to director Jesse McAnally. It was a Christmas gift from Miranda Moffat. After every day the shirt was used in shooting, Miranda washed it herself to ensure no permanent damage was done.
