At the time of filming, the author of the original literary work, John Grisham, had the right to approve the actors chosen for films based on his works, and he immediately stated that no professional child actors from Hollywood should be cast in the role of Mark. He believed that a well-known child actor couldn't be used for this role and that a completely unknown child was needed (preferably from the vicinity of Memphis, where the action takes place). This is how Brad Renfro, a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, was found, and he was preferred over thousands of other applicants, including Macaulay Culkin.
Joel Schumacher (1939-2020) approached Susan Sarandon with an offer to star in his film at a restaurant in New York in the summer of 1993. She gave her consent a few days later.
John Grisham liked the film so much that he agreed to sell the rights to adapt his novel 'A Time to Kill' (1989) on the condition that Joel Schumacher would direct it as well. The film of the same name was released in 1996. Akiva Goldsman was one of the screenwriters in both cases.
