FILM 1364: THE SPECTACULAR NOW
TRIVIA: Originally the scene where
Sutter's father asks him to take care of the tab at the bar was supposed to end
after Tommy walks away from the table. Sutter looking through his wallet,
asking Amy if she has any money, and then the two of them trying to put
together enough money to pay was all improvised by Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley. The
director thought it was such a sad moment that he kept it in the movie.
According to the director, he was
worried that Miles Teller
and Shailene Woodley wouldn't
get along after he saw them interact at a lunch he arranged. Teller (who was
late to meeting because he had been in Las Vegas with friends the night before)
was outgoing and energetic, while Woodley, though amused by Teller, was quiet
and for the most part kept to herself unless she was spoken to. After the lunch
was over and the director was driving away, he noticed Woodley and Teller
talking in the parking lot, but decided to leave them alone - he later found
out that the two of them spent two hours talking and getting to know each other
in the parking lot. Teller and Woodley are now close friends.
The screenplay for this film was
featured in the 2009 Blacklist; a list of the "most liked" unmade
scripts of the year.
