It was going to be set in Phoenix, Arizona, but the box office failure of Crowe’s The Wild Life delayed the Universal project. By the end of the decade, Crowe had relocated to Seattle—which is where he was when Mother Love Bone lead singer Andy Wood died in 1990. Crowe noticed the music community coming together to process the loss, and rewrote his...
Johnny Depp’s excuse to Crowe was that he couldn’t say “I love you” on screen yet. Matt Dillon also passed on the role of Steve, opting to play Cliff Poncier instead. Campbell Scott ended up in the role.
He initially played Cliff to be sarcastic to Debbie. Crowe corrected him. Dillon was confused as to why Cliff would like her enough to take her seriously.
At the time they were known as Mookie Blaylock, but Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, and Stone Gossard cameoed as Cliff’s bandmates. Most of Dillon’s clothes were in fact Ament’s.

Crowe grew tired of Scott’s incessant hostile sarcasm. The final straw was when Scott gave the camera assistant the finger as he snapped his slate. The two got along better after the fight.

Director Gus Van Sant Jr. loaded furniture.
