What's left behind the scenes

Kurt Russell agreed to star in the film without even reading the script.
Michael Keaton, Harrison Ford, and Alec Baldwin were all considered for the role of Dr. McKay.
Footage from Robert Mulligan's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962) appears briefly in the film. It's one of Cameron Crowe's favorite movies.
The studio demanded that Cameron Crowe remove scenes depicting the World Trade Center towers destroyed on September 11th. Crowe refused.
Steven Spielberg appears at David's birthday. During the filming of "Vanilla Sky," Spielberg and Tom Cruise were preparing to collaborate on "Minority Report" (2002).
The name of Dr. McKay, the character played by Kurt Russell, came from Nancy Wilson's solo album “Life in a Guitar Shop” – Nancy Wilson being the wife of Cameron Crowe.
David Aames' birthday is September 22, 1968.
Cameron Crowe and Tom Cruise invited the legendary director Billy Wilder to make a cameo appearance, but he declined.
The director claims that the film contains 428 references to various cultural phenomena (books, films, events).
Several paintings by Ralph Bakshi hang in David's room.
In the film, Tom Cruise wears an IWC Mark XV watch.
Tom Cruise drives a 1967 Ford Mustang and a Ferrari 250 GTO.
It is a remake of Alejandro Amenábar's 1997 film "Open Your Eyes".
A poster for François Truffaut's 1962 film "Jules and Jim" hangs in David's bedroom. In the finale, Truffaut's heroine crashes a car with her lover off a bridge, which directly references the plot of "Vanilla Sky".
Cameron Diaz's car, in which the characters crash, is a 1970 Buick Skylark.
