** The first choices for the leads were Creator/TomHanks and Creator/JuliaRoberts, followed by Creator/TimRobbins and Creator/SusanSarandon. Eventually, Creator/{{MGM}} had their dream casting in place: Creator/JohnnyDepp, Creator/WoodyHarrelson and Creator/LauraDern. Harrelson's contract would have given him top billing. When Dern (a recent Oscar nominee) found out that she would be third billed, she quit the picture. Harrelson followed soon after, having landed the young male lead in ''Film/IndecentProposal''. MGM promptly slapped him with a five million dollar lawsuit for breach of contract (which was ultimately settled out of court).
