In 2005, Kate Winslet first read the screenplay and immediately fell in love with it. She asked her husband, Sam Mendes, to direct, who initially hesitated, feeling that he had already tackled the subject of suburbia with American Beauty (1999). Kate then presented the screenplay to Leonardo DiCaprio when out for coffee together; both in the habit of sending each other scripts to do together. At the Academy Awards in March 2007, after Leo had finished reading the script, Kate organised for the two of them to go out for drinks; sending Sam instead to discuss the film. A deal was made and filming began 10 weeks later.
