==Trivia==
# Rosamund Pike lived in the Saltburn house while filming took place.
# Barry Keoghan spent a Belfast weekend with filmmaker Michael McNulty developing his Liverpool accent and drinking pints for 20 hours straight.
# In the film, Jacob Elordi's character Felix has an eyebrow piercing, which Emerald Fennell wanted the character to have as she had often seen men in clubs with this piercing in 2007, when some of the story takes place. For the film itself, this did not require Elordi's eyebrow to be pierced in real life, as a convincing illusion was instead created by the film's makeup designer Siân Miller using two cut ends taken from a fake nose ring and applied with an adhesive. Fennell's choice to have Elordi appear to have a piercing was controversial with the studio backing the film, as she later described in an interview with The Face. "I fought incredibly hard for the eyebrow piercing. I got a frantic call from the studio: 'Why would you do that? Why would you sully the most beautiful man in the world's face with an eyebrow piercing?'" This caused a lot of conflict, as Fennell stated that "the studio really didn't want it and really fought against it." Eventually she and the studio agreed on a compromise, where Felix would wear the piercing while at Oxford but remove it when the film's action moves to the family estate at Saltburn. Fennell explained this by adding a line to the script about his mother having a phobia which required him to take off the piercing when he was at home.
# The Minotaur statue was designed using Barry Keoghan's (Oliver) body as the reference.
# The actual place used for Saltburn is, Drayton House, Lowick , Kettering, UK.
# In a video conversation with Margot Robbie, who was also one of the producers of this film, Carey Mulligan said that the role Emerald Fennell originally offered her was not the one she ended up playing. Mulligan read the script and found she wanted to play a different character, and Fennell agreed to her request to play this other role instead.
# Jacob Elordi read Evelyn Waugh's novel, "Brideshead Revisited" as preparation for his role, which director Emerald Fennell had recommended to him as a way to get into character.
# Barry Keoghan said he was more nervous about dancing on screen than having to do it naked.
# During rehearsals, Rosamund Pike and Carey Mulligan improvised the conversation they have in their introductory scene. Emerald Fennell found it funny, so she added it to the final screenplay. Similarly, Rosamund Pike joked to Fennell that her character secretly thought 'Common People' by Pulp was written about her, which inspired some of the final dialogue in her sunbathing scene.
# Emerald Fennell has mentioned in interviews that she was influenced by a number of literary works when making this film, including "The Go-Between" by L. P. Hartley, "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier, "Brideshead Revisited" by Evelyn Waugh, "Maurice" by E. M. Forster, "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro, "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte and "The Line of Beauty" by Alan Hollinghurst.
