All Princes wear clothing with a pattern spelling out their number in Roman numerals, composed by smaller Arabic numerals. Furthermore, Septimus wears a vest with the numeral seven on each button.
Miramax originally had the movie rights. After they expired, author Neil Gaiman felt uncomfortable granting the rights to just anyone. After turning down numerous directors and young actresses who wanted it as a starring vehicle, Gaiman finally granted Matthew Vaughn the rights for free. Gaiman trusted Vaughn, both as a friend, and as someone "who stuck to his word", something Gaiman considers a rarity in Hollywood.
Matthew Vaughn had great difficulty shooting the scenes at the inn where Lamia entices Yvaine, Tristan, and Primus. There were very few days when more than one cast member was available for filming. He used a lot of stand-ins in the closer shots, to give the impression that all of the cast members were present.
Robert De Niro accepted the role due to his regret at turning down the role of Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003).
Ben Barnes (Young Dunstan Thorn) was a fan favorite and the preferred choice for Tristan over Charlie Cox, as he was considered more attractive. Matthew Vaughn intentionally cast the then-unknown Cox over big name actors like Orlando Bloom, as he wanted an actor who could play a dork and easily transition into a suave and handsome gentleman.
"Yvaine: You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves. You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable, and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange, no gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine."
"[first lines] Narrator: A philosopher once asked, Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human? Pointless, really, Do the stars gaze back? Now that's a question."
