  • Production was set to begin in July 2016. Screenwriter Zak Penn tweeted on July 1, 2016 that the first week of filming had been completed. In August and September 2016, filming took place in Birmingham, England; this included Livery Street in the Jewellery Quarter area of the city, which was extensively used, including the van chase that takes place towards the film's end. The chase was edited to make the street appear longer than it actually is. The backpackers hostel Hatters, also on Livery Street, was used for internal filming for a basement scene. The Ludgate Hill Car Park lot on Lionel Street, in which caravan homes were partially built was also used and a planned explosion there caused some local business and homes to call emergency services, as no prior notification were given by the production team. Other locations in the city included the former industrial area of Digbeth, in a rooftop scene that overlooks the Birmingham City Centre skyline. Some of the city's landmark buildings were erased and replaced with CGI buildings to create a dystopian Ohio in the year 2045. Principal photography ended on September 27, 2016.
  • When Sorrento meets I-R0k about the orb, a crashed ship from the George Pal version of The War of the Worlds (1953) is visible, making the original sounds.
  • There are clues that the Curator is more than an NPC. The first happens when he mistakenly thinks that Art3mis was speaking to him when they were checking for the first clue. The movie also makes it seem like he can only attend to one visitor's requests at a time.
  • During the closeup of Halliday in his coffin, the quarters over his eyes are from 1972 the same year the book's author, Ernest Cline, was born.
  • The curator shows his hand twice without Parzival noticing. The first time is after he's asked to show the office party again, he responds with 'You want to go back'? (referencing the need to reverse at the start of the race) and after Parzival tells Art3mis that Kira is the key to the second clue, he exclaims "You're right", but they think he's just referring to the fact that they've just seen the only reference to Kira in the entire Halliday archives.
