• Halle Berry was originally slated to star in the film, but she left the project due to scheduling conflicts, and the role intended for her went to Katherine Heigl. After the completion of legal proceedings regarding child custody, Berry rejoined the film's cast, but in a different role.
• This was Carey Elwes' eighth role as a doctor in his acting career.
• The film was announced as a sort of continuation of Garry Marshall's romantic comedy 'Valentine's Day' (2010). The filmmakers redistributed roles among the actors, made some changes to the plot, and the resulting film differed somewhat from what was originally intended and announced.
• Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer played Catwoman in different adaptations. Anne Hathaway also played the role, and she also starred in Garry Marshall's romantic comedy 'Valentine's Day' (2010).
• Matthew Broderick played Mr. Bullerton in the film "Old New Year", and in John Hughes' "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986), he played Ferris Bueller.
• Reese Witherspoon turned down the role offered to her in the film.
• This is the second collaboration between Zac Efron and Michelle Pfeiffer. In 2007, the musical film "Hairspray" directed by Adam Shankman, starring them both, was released.
• For the sake of secrecy, the film was distributed to cinemas under the title "The Last Romance".
• Juliette Binoche turned down the role of Ingrid offered to her.
• Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro starred together in Luc Besson's black comedy "Malavita" (2013). These actors do not appear together on screen in the film "Old New Year".
• Gary Marshall often casts his daughter Kathleen, sister Penny, Hector Elizondo, Larry Miller, and Joel McCreary in cameo roles in his films.
• Reese Witherspoon turned down the role in the film.
• The film was distributed to cinemas under the title 'The Last Romance'.
• When Kominsky, played by Hector Elizondo, appears, the phrase "The Eagle has landed" is heard on the radio. Elizondo's character uttered the same words in the film "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days".
• The film was distributed to cinemas under the title "The Last Romance".
• When Paul (Zac Efron) receives a phone call in the restroom (around the 63rd minute), the soundtrack from the Russian computer game "Space Rangers," titled Awakening, plays.
• When Kominsky, played by Hector Elizondo, appears, the phrase "The Eagle has landed" can be heard on the radio. Elizondo's character uttered the same words in the film "The Princess Diaries".
