In Season 2 of The Great, Elle Fanning said the chocolate “rusty nail” prop looked unreal, so she insisted on sucking a real nail. “So I said, ‘Just give me a real one,’” she recalled, sucking on an actual rusty nail. While the “dirt” she ate was actually crushed Oreos.

In Exit 8 (2025), they built two identical versions of the film’s endless white subway corridor, nicknamed “Hitchcock” and “Kubrick.” The protagonist gets trapped in the loop in the first place because he ignores an "anomaly" in his real life: his pregnant ex-girlfriend calling from the hospital. Instead of turning back to support her, he heads for work. In the beginning of the movie, the protagonist listens to Maurice Ravel's Bolero on his headphones. This classical piece was chosen specifically because it is built entirely on the repetition of a single, looping melody—a mirror to the endless loop of the station. Unlike the original game (which is essentially a minimalist walking simulator), the movie expands the lore. The little boy is a character unique to the film, introduced to symbolize the protagonist's impending fatherhood. In Buddhism, the number 8 is incredibly important and represents the Eightfold Path (which must be followed to escape the cycle of death and rebirth). The movie frames the subway not just as a maze, but as a liminal purgatory.
