![Rachel McAdams, Owen Wilson, Midnight in Paris - Television Magazine Cover [Cyprus] (7 April 2013)](http://img3.bdbphotos.com/images/130x130/f/d/fdpzew4dcws14wzf.jpg?skj2io4l)
- Elsa Pataky was for some time attached to the project before dropping out.
- The flea market scenes were filmed during the week when the market is normally closed.
- Probably inspired by the Moberly-Jourdain incident in 1901 in which two academics, Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, claimed to have experienced a timeslip into pre-revolutionary France on the grounds of Versailles.
- With four nominations (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Art Direction and Best Original Screenplay), this picture is the most Oscar nominated Woody Allen film since Bullets Over Broadway (1994) which got seven Oscar nominations.
- When Woody Allen had enough budget to shoot the movie in 2006, he contacted his preferred cast but many were working on different projects and couldn't commit. When Owen Wilson's name came up for the leading role, Allen rewrote the character to fit.
