What's left behind the scenes

  • Bill Murray’s agent was a fan of Anderson’s first film, “Bottle Rocket,” and gave Murray the script. He liked it so much that he agreed to star for minimal pay—$9,000.
  • 1,800 teenagers were considered for the role of Max Fischer before Jason Schwartzman was found.
  • Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson began writing the screenplay years before “Bottle Rocket.” Owen himself was expelled from school in tenth grade, while Anderson fell in love with an older woman.
  • The schools used in the film—St. John’s School as Rushmore Academy and Lamar High School as Grover Cleveland High School—are actually located across the street from each other in real life.
  • Jason Schwartzman arrived at the audition wearing a sweater with a self-made Rushmore Academy emblem.
  • On the first day of filming, director and screenwriter Wes Anderson addressed Bill Murray, respectfully lowering his voice (such was his impression of working with such a renowned actor). Murray turned out to be not at all intimidating – he spoke to the director with respect, helped carry equipment, and when the film company refused to pay for helicopter rental (which would have cost $75,000), he gave Anderson a bearer check without specifying the amount.
  • Bill Murray was genuinely irritated and angered by Keith and Ronnie McCool, who played his sons (as they were intended to irritate him according to the script), and many scenes in which he lashes out at them were improvisations.
  • Wes Anderson organized the film's promotional campaign in the old-fashioned way – he arranged a tour of the country in a bus equipped with two televisions with huge screens, two VCRs, a CD player, cell phones, a satellite dish, and a “Sony Playstation.” Mainly because Anderson despises flying on airplanes.
  • During the filming of the scene where the characters played by Jason Schwartzman and Olivia Williams feed the fish and talk, Schwartzman had to stand on some boxes to appear level with his partner.
  • Bill Murray's agent was a fan of Anderson's first film, "Bottle Rocket," and gave Murray the script to read. He liked it so much that he agreed to star for minimal pay—$9,000.
  • Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson began writing the script years before "Bottle Rocket." Owen himself was expelled from school in the 10th grade, while Anderson was falling in love with a woman older than him.
