The CEO's name, John Tuld, rhymes with the name of the ex-CEO of the now-defunct investment bank Lehman Brothers, Richard S. Fuld. Lehman Brothers, like the firm in this film, found themselves catastrophically over-leveraged in mortgage-backed securities in the financial crisis of 2008. They eventually declared bankruptcy, and Richard Fuld was heavily criticized for his involvement in these events.
The cast members in the pivotal boardroom scene where Jeremy Irons addresses the board members went through a rehearsal that night so that Irons could get into character and everyone else could get into the scene, including Zachary Quinto, who really worked himself up. Kevin Spacey referred to it as the "craziest rehearsal he's ever been a part of" due to Irons' performance.
Jeremy Irons's work visa expired just prior to filming his scenes. His agency had to immediately scramble to get him the work visa through the British Embassy, as well as a few U.S. senators who helped expedite the process, which usually takes two to three weeks. All of this happened during the Fourth of July weekend, in which Irons was finally able to get his visa and take the plane to the airport in England to get to New York for the shoot. The closing credits of the film includes "The Jeremy Irons Visa Miracle Team."
The Moundsville Bridge mentioned by Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci) actually exists. It was completed in 1986, which would have been 22 years before the debt crash of 2008, which is the subject of this movie.
"John Tuld: There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat."
"Will Emerson: You know, the feeling that people experience when they stand on the edge like this isn't the fear of falling - it's the fear that they might jump"
