Screen Gems was given clearance to move forward with the title Friends with Benefits; Paramount Pictures dropped its original protest against the film after their director, Ivan Reitman, re-titled his film No Strings Attached. Friends With Benefits began production in July, 2010 in New York and Los Angeles. Complicating matters is the fact that NBC is planning a Friends With Benefits sitcom. Screen Gems stated that due to its production schedule, they don’t expect an issue to arise.
Screen Gems chose to fast track the project for fear they would lose their title to the competing Paramount project. Will Gluck spoke about the frustration of comparing the two films by stating, "It's a real struggle for me, I wish there was more space between them. The thing that's irking me now is people are saying we're remaking No Strings Attached. We're not remaking it. The two movies were being made at the same time."
Gluck stated that the concept of the story began with the idea that he wanted to work with Kunis and Timberlake. "There were a couple of actors I wanted to work with, so I adapted the original script and rewrote it for Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. I wanted to do more of an adult movie about sex, too, and about relationships." He compared the story to a classic Hepburn and Tracy production. "It's as if they were making a movie in 2010. Having seen all the old movies, the characters know about the movies, too. I also got a great cast to support them. It's not just old films, but old stories. In life, everyone talks about old storylines and movies; "I know how this is going to end. This is going to end badly." But in movies, people are completely dense. They think they're the first boy to meet the first girl and wonder what's going to happen. So I tried to imbue our characters with a sense of history; "This is what happens in this situation; let's see how we deal with it." I think once you let the audience in on the secret that these characters know they're not the first persons in life going through this, there's a sigh of relief as opposed to, "Come on!"
Director Will Gluck discussed the plot and his approach to dealing with a storyline with similar themes to previous films by stating: "Every romantic comedy over the last twenty years is about the same thing, right? The two characters in this movie played by Justin and Mila are in this generation like you and me where they’ve grown up on romantic comedies. They comment about these romantic comedies throughout the movie, and as they go through their storyline, they realize that they’re in a romantic comedy story — as two regular people who aren’t in a movie would comment on. They’re very cognizant that they’re in this story.....but they end up embracing the fact that they’re going through a romantic comedy moment."
Timberlake added that he and Gluck held authorship of humor and tone on the movie. Stated Timberlake: "As a viewer, I don’t want to walk into a movie called ‘Friends with Benefits’ and see the PG-13 version. For me, you can’t have a movie like that without embracing what the title is.”
The first red-band trailer debuted on November 5th, 2010. The first theatrical trailer debuted on March 16th, 2011.
