What's left behind the scenes

The original novel of the same name by Louis Sachar, first published in 1998, was awarded the Newbery Medal, the most prestigious American award in children's literature.
Frankie Muniz was initially invited to play the lead role. Alex D. Linz was also considered for the role.
The venomous lizards in the film were actually bearded dragons, slightly modified with makeup and computer graphics, and provided by Sandfire Dragon Ranch, a reptile and amphibian breeding facility located in California. Such venomous and deadly lizards do not exist in nature and are a pure invention of the book's author. A total of nine bearded dragons were used for filming, and highly realistic static models were made for some scenes.
Stanley Yelnats Sr. (the main character’s grandfather) was played by Nathan Davis, the father of director Andrew Davis.
Sigourney Weaver very much wanted to star in the film because Louis Sachar’s book was then her daughter’s favorite.
In the guard's house at the camp, you can notice a newspaper clipping framed with the headline “Kate Barlow Robs ‘Chicago Pacific’.” ‘Chicago Pacific’ is a company owned by director Andrew Davis.
Before starting work on the film, Patricia Arquette couldn’t ride a horse at all and had to learn this not-so-simple skill.
A local resident in a classroom in one of the scenes is Brian Peck, who was busy working on acting coaching for the young actors involved in the film.
The author of the book and the final screenplay, American writer Louis Sachar, appears in a cameo with his wife and daughter in the scene where Sam sells onion juice.
The initial screenplay was written by Richard Kelly, who deviated significantly from the source material, writing a dark, harsh, and even brutal adaptation set in a post-apocalyptic future. The film studio deemed it unsuitable for a children's film and rejected it, favoring the version of the book's author, Louis Sachar.
The film is dedicated to the memory of actor Scott Plank, who passed away several months after filming ended.
The onions that Stanley and Zero eat were actually ordinary apples wrapped in an edible shell.
