- The sexual scene between Alaska and a man over the age of 18 wasn't even talked about being in the movie during production.
- Looking for Alaska was loosely based upon John Green's personal high school experience. The character of Alaska was modeled after a girl who attended his boarding school and who died in an accident.
- Some parts of the movie will be filmed in Detroit, Michigan.
- Professional production company One Serve Productions created a book trailer for the John Green novel and generated a lot of tumblr hype. Some going as far as dream casting/ fan casting Annie Wilson (the girl who played Alaska in the trailer) to play Alaska Young in the official movie and most siting the production as the most professional and realistic they'd seen for the book.
- Gia Coppola was considered to direct the film before Rebecca Thomas was chosen.
