Production
After hearing actress Emma Watson's speech for the HeforShe campaign, writer and producer Drew Gars (who supports Watson's campaign) was partially inspired to create a film about human rights. Emma Watson was in talks with Gars to be cast as the lead role, then later on, she was comfirmed for the role. Jennifer Lawrence also joined the cast to play the role of Millie's roommate and love interest, Sam Parker. Gwyneth Paltrow joined the cast, playing Emily Kendrew, the film's main antagonist.

In May, Bill Murray signed on to play Benjamin, Sam's father. In late May, Sally Field joined in to play Sarah Parker, Benjamin's wife and Sam's mother. In June, rapper Pitbull joined the cast as Sam's drug dealer. In the same month, Ben Barnes joined the film as Sally's boyfriend.

In early July, Gary Oldman was set to play Garrett Chamberlain, Millie's father. That same month, Jane Reeves was added to the cast, to play Diane Chamberlain, Millie's mother and Garrett's wife.

Principal photography took 50 days, beginning on early September in Los Angeles and ending on late October in the University of Cambridge.
