\nUntil Say Anything\u2026<\/em>, Crowe hadn\u2019t written a love story. He told the <\/i>San Diego Union Tribune<\/em>that the movie\u2019s \u201ca love story for people who don\u2019t say I love you\u201d and in 2009 told the Los Angeles Times<\/em> that, \u201cIt\u2019s a very personal movie, and it reminds me of falling in love, falling out of love, and falling back in love with life and all the unexpected glories and pain that happen along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
\nThe actress had trouble identifying with the A-student Diane Court because she wasn\u2019t like that. \u201cI wasn\u2019t a good student,\u201d she told the Los Angeles Times<\/em>. \u201cI grew up with my mother, not my father. I kind of had a wild childhood. Even the father stealing money from old people, I was saying to Cameron, \u2018I can\u2019t access why this would upset me.\u2019 That didn\u2019t seem bad to me at the time.\u201d Skye\u2019s real-life father is famed Scottish musician Donovan. Two years after the movie came out, Skye married Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz; the couple divorced him in 1999.<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>In 2014, Fox gave the green light for producers to adapt the movie into a single-camera TV sitcom that would take place 10 years after the film\u2019s events, but they apparently didn\u2019t bother to ask Crowe for his blessing. Once Crowe found out about it, he tweeted his dismay about the project and said, \u201cI have no involvement \u2026 except in trying to stop it.\u201d Cusack also cried foul about the project; the backlash prevailed and the project was canceled.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
