When this project was initially being assembled in 1979, original director William Friedkin dropped out. Daniel Petrie was then tapped to direct. According to Oliver Stone, Al Pacino, who was originally to play Kovic, had his reservations, but Stone considered him to be a competent director. Locations had been scouted and Pacino rehearsed, but money dried up that was promised by producer Martin Bregman. Although Stone felt crushed. He decided if he gained some clout in the industry, he would return to the project, which he did ten years later, as writer and director.
