In one of the special features in the Director's Cut DVD, Ben Stiller said he had been developing ideas for this movie for about eight to ten years. One of his first ideas was that the movie was going to be about actors going to a "fake boot camp" for a couple of weeks and coming back with PTSD. When Stiller started out in Hollywood, he had a lot of colleagues going into war movies and they would attend a "fake boot camp" in order to prepare for their roles. He found it ridiculous, and this was an early inspiration on what would become this movie.
