★Production
Directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost had previously dealt with similar themes in their documentary Catfish. On their attraction to a film based around the Internet, they stated, "Most things aren’t black and white. The Internet is neither good nor bad; it just depends on how you use it", giving the example that the Nerve game could be both "a really empowering game, and it’s also the most awful thing that you can possibly imagine". The directors strived for a PG-13 rating, with Schulman stating "we wanted to make sure that younger teenagers could see it. We think it has an important message and they’ll dig it", with Joost adding "We weren’t interested in making a gross torture movie". The film has also a lighter ending and theme than the book, as the novel deals with a much darker plot and ending. In January 2015, it was announced that Emma Roberts and Dave Franco were set to star in the film. In April 2015, it was announced that Kimiko Glenn had joined the cast of the film, portraying the role of Emma Roberts' character's worried friend. The same day, it was announced that rapper Colson "Machine Gun Kelly" Baker had also joined the cast. 
★Facts
☆ In one of the opening scenes, Vee (Emma Roberts) is "looking at the news" on her computer. On the right side of the news page is an article on James Franco; real-life brother of co-star Dave Franco (Ian).
☆ Dont Look Now(1973) Towards the end of the film, Vee wears a red hoodie eerily reminiscent of the infamous ending scene of Don't Look Now.
