The shooting of the film is discussed by Art Linson in his 2002 book What Just Happened?, later made into a film starring Robert De Niro. Initially called Bookworm, the script was turned down by Harrison Ford and Dustin Hoffman before Alec Baldwin settled on the role of Green. De Niro showed some interest in the role of Morse but ultimately declined. Baldwin's unwillingness to shave a beard that he had grown for the role is reenacted by Bruce Willis in Barry Levinson's adaptation of Linson's book.

I overall enjoyed this book. The character development was pretty good and by the end I was really rooting for Dex. The whole methadone causing psychosis kind of took me out of it (bugs me more in books than movies and shows) but I remind myself most people don’t research heavily on some of the ideas.Danny is the main character of the book; he is mixed race teenager and is often treated unfairly as a result, even by his grandfather. At the outset of the novel, Danny is portrayed as anxious and uncertain as a result of abused by Chris Kane and he felt uncomfortable when he first arrived the promise land. Later in the narrative, Danny gains confidence and self-esteem after escaping from Chris who mistreated them. After adjusting to his new home, Danny at first ignores the taunts of an unfriendly neighbor, Steve Parker and felt comfortable and happy in the ‘promise land.’ Des is Danny's father. He appears several times throughout the book: his first appearance in the novel is in a coffee Elmo shop where Cathy works. After Cathy leaves following her affair with Des, Des marries another woman and they have another child. His new wife leaves him, however, when she discovers that Des' affair with Cathy occurred when she was only sixteen years old. Throughout his life, Danny has desperately wanted to meet Des, and finally does after Des rescues Danny from a fight with Steve's gang.
Chris Kane is a tall, lean man who is violent and very possessive of his girlfriend, Cathy. When Cathy and her son escape, Chris, likely being mentally unstable, vows to hunt them down. Throughout the novel, Danny refers to him as 'the Animal'. At times, Chris can be charming, though he often loses control of his temper. In the past, Chris has already had several brushes with the law, and ends up imprisoned in the novel. Despite this, he remains deranged and continues to desire control of Cathy and Danny. Chris also refers to himself as ‘Chrissy Boy’ and others refer to him as ‘the animal.’Joanna Mazurkiewicz was born in Poland. She moved to United Kingdom when she was only nineteen and just finished high school. She had aspired to be a writer upon completion of the Harry Potter series but also enjoyed reading books like ‘Gone with the Wind’, ’Animal Farm’ and ‘The doll’. She graduated from Swansea University with a bachelor degree in American Studies. While studying in the UK she made a decision to start writing fiction in English. Danny: He feels powerless and he is always scared of what Chris could do, and when he gets given the chance to escape he takes it, and does everything to help his mum escape. But they do, but other things start happening.
