Quentin Tarantino was scheduled to make the film for The Weinstein Company but severed the ties when the sexual assault allegations against co-chairman Harvey Weinstein were revealed in the press. To avoid a repeat of the script leak incident that almost cost him The Hateful Eight (2015), he wrote a memo to all theatrical studios, summoning them to send one representative to his agent's (The William Morris Endeavor) office in Beverly Hills to read his Manson script in person at an arranged time and date. The memo also mandated that each representative was required to sign a heavy non-disclosure agreement, read the script in person (they were not allowed to copy or take the script back), and present the list of demands and conditions to the studio management. This project was already one of the most anticipated and promising projects on the board at the time. After reading the script, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Annapurna Pictures, and Lionsgate were welcome to make a bid for the theatrical right before a second round of bids pitched to Tarantino himself. Sony won the theatrical rights in the bidding war outbidding its closest rival Warner Bros., making it the first David Heyman production not to be distributed by Warner.

While sparring with Hal, Sinestro produces a circular shield. This could possibly be a nod to Captain America's shield, despite the fact they are separate comic universes ( DC & Marvel ). Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) opened the same year as this film and was far more successful.

Michael Bay said in a magazine interview that the solution in the movie for dealing with the asteroid was very clever, but not realistic, but that one idea for countering the threat was in line with actual N.A.S.A. research (anti-gravity systems). He also said that a problem with a film like this, was that it would make Americans erroneously think that if a situation like the movie actually occurred, then there was anything that could be done about it.
