What's left behind the scenes

  • This is the second film based on the novel of the same name. The first film, a Japanese production, was released in 1971, almost 5 years after the book was published in 1966.
  • According to Scorsese, Shusaku Endo's novel attracted him as a Catholic due to its theme of God's silence in the face of the world's suffering.
  • Despite the novel being set in Japan, Scorsese decided to film the movie entirely in Taiwan after Ang Lee shared his experience working on "Life of Pi" (2012) on the island.
  • Daniel Day-Lewis and Liam Neeson swapped roles in long-gestating projects. Neeson was the leading candidate for the titular role in the stalled biopic "Lincoln" (2012), but when the actor left the project, Day-Lewis took his place. Ironically, in that film, Neeson replaced Day-Lewis, who had been long attached to the project as the role of Father Ferreira. Adam Driver appeared in both films.
  • Initially, Daniel Day-Lewis was cast as Father Ferreira, Gael García Bernal as Father Rodrigues, and Benicio Del Toro as Father Francisco Garrpe for the three leading roles. All three dropped out of the project due to the film's constant production delays.
  • Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Jay Cocks wrote the first draft of the script in the 1990s with the intention of filming it after "Gangs of New York" (2002). However, Scorsese was unable to find a financier for the project and moved on to "The Aviator" (2004).
  • Ken Watanabe was originally intended to play the role of the Jesuit priests’ Japanese translator, but he left the project before filming began, and the role went to Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano.
  • Following "Hugo" (2011) and "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013), in which Martin Scorsese liberally used "digital," this is the first film since "Shutter Island" (2009) that the director has shot entirely on 35mm film.
  • According to author Shusaku Endo, he used Federico Fellini's "La Strada" (1954) as inspiration when writing the novel.
  • This is Martin Scorsese’s third film on a religious theme, following “The Last Temptation of Christ” (1988) and “Kundun” (1997).
  • A special screening of the film was held in Rome for four hundred Jesuit priests.
  • Liam Neeson previously played the role of a Jesuit priest in "The Mission" (1986), which is also set in the 17th century.
  • This is the second joint project of Martin Scorsese and Liam Neeson after "Gangs of New York" (2002).
  • Martin Scorsese's first involvement in a project as a screenwriter since "Casino" (1995).
  • According to producer Emma Tillinger, due to unfavorable weather and a limited budget, filming the movie turned out to be the most grueling and harsh experience for her and Scorsese throughout their careers.
  • In October 2016, producer Irwin Winkler stated that, in his opinion, this is Martin Scorsese's best film. Winkler has produced such films by the director as "New York, New York" (1977), "Raging Bull" (1980), and "Goodfellas" (1990), and also served as executive producer of "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013).
  • Liam Neeson and Adam Driver both appeared in the "Star Wars" cinematic universe: Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn in the first episode of the saga, and Driver as Kylo Ren in the seventh.
  • Ken Watanabe was originally considered for the role of the Japanese translator, but he left the project before filming began.
  • Although the plot of the novel takes place in Japan, Scorsese decided to film entirely in Taiwan after Ang Lee shared his experience working on "Life of Pi" (2012) on the island.
  • Daniel Day-Lewis and Liam Neeson swapped roles in long-gestating projects. Neeson was the leading candidate for the titular role in the stalled biopic "Lincoln" (2012), but when the actor left the project, Day-Lewis took his place. Ironically, in that film, Neeson replaced Day-Lewis, who had long been attached to the project as the role of Father Ferreira. Adam Driver appeared in both films.
  • Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Jay Cocks wrote the first draft of the script back in the 1990s with the intention of filming it after "Gangs of New York" (2002). However, Scorsese was unable to find funding for the project and instead took on "The Aviator" (2004).
  • Following "Hugo" (2011) and "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013), in which Martin Scorsese liberally used digital effects, this is the first film since "Shutter Island" (2009) that the director has shot entirely on 35mm film.
  • According to author Shusaku Endo, he used Federico Fellini’s "La Strada" (1954) as inspiration when writing the novel.
