Russell Crowe was attached as the lead during pre-production for this film. 20th Century Fox executives wanted to reduce Crowe’s salary considerably, in order to appease the film’s budget. This decision compelled him to ultimately leave the project.
Nicole Kidman revealed that she agreed to star in the film without reading the script. Hugh Jackman stated in an interview for “60 Minutes” (1979), which aired on Sunday the 16th of October 2008, that Nicole told Hugh he had to be in the movie at a Super Bowl party, and when Hugh told her he didn’t even have a script Nicole told him to forget the script, because Baz Luhrmann was directing.
