When Charles Gordon and Lawrence Gordon took the film into production under their production company Largo Entertainment, they were eyeing Norwegian filmmaker Nils Gaup as director. After Kevin Costner showed interest, he suggested Kevin Reynolds. When Universal studio got involved, their choices for director were Robert Zemeckis or Lawrence Kasdan over Reynolds. Reynolds went on to do Rapa Nui (1994) first, and got the job afterwards when neither Zemeckis nor Kasdan had committed. Reynolds insisted that the cause of all the flooding was a man-made disaster as he wanted an environmental message. He first asked David Webb Peoples to do rewrites, but when Peoples was unavailable, David Twohy was hired.
