| Christopher Masterson was considered for the role of Drew. When searching the 2nd Largest Farmer's Market in the World for a woman in a red hat, Drew walks past a signpost with arrows pointing to "Success" and "Failure". He takes the "Failure" route to reach Claire. While shooting a scene in a cemetery with actors Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst, filming was interrupted due to an unexpected rain storm. Cameron Crowe suggested they shoot the scene anyway because it looked more beautiful and natural. Judy Greer plays Orlando Bloom's younger sister. In reality, Greer is two years older than Bloom. The phone that Drew uses is a Samsung SCH-a670. While it can vibrate and ring, it cannot do both at the same time as depicted in the film. Cameron Crowe had written the role of Drew Baylor with Orlando Bloom in mind. When Crowe originally offered Bloom the part, Bloom was unable to take it due to scheduling conflicts with Kingdom of Heaven (2005). Crowe then cast Ashton Kutcher in the part but later felt that Kutcher and co-star Kirsten Dunst had no chemistry and decided to let him go. Crowe then pushed his January 2004 start shoot date back to July 2004 for a summer shoot. Many young actors that included Seann William Scott, James Franco, Colin Hanks and Chris Evans auditioned for the part of Drew. Scott was seriously considered and nearly nabbed the part but Crowe pushed to get Bloom instead. When Bloom was able to work the film into his schedule, Crowe cast him in the part. |
