The story of the film is based on a
real-life situation in which John Lennon and Yoko Ono wrote a letter to the
English folk singer Steve Tilston in 1971, but the letter remained unknown to him
for 34 years. The real letter was signed as "John + Yoko" while the
letter in the film was signed as "John".

stories about the film
1. This film is inspired by the
story of singer Steve Tilston, who learned of the existence of a letter that
John Lennon had written to him 34 years after the letter was written.
2. The beginning of the film’s
concert footage was shot at a Los Angeles concert by the band Chicago.
3. Dan Fogelman had Al Pacino in
mind for Danny Collins’ role while writing the script. Al Pacino agreed with
the role, with one request that Bobby Cannavale play his son.
4. The photos on the wall of
Collins' house are all pictures from the movies that Al Pacino has previously
appeared, including The Godfather and Serpico.
