It was written by English novelist Ian McEwan and was originally set up at Universal Studios, during which Brian Gilbert was attached as director. In 1988, Michael Klesic was originally cast in the role of Henry Evans.
This progress was suddenly interrupted when Kit Culkin’s father, Kit, wanted to star in the film due to his son’s stardom due to being a notoriously influential force in Hollywood. In November 1991, the project was put on hold due to a lack of funding. In February 1992, the film was re-written by Mary Ann Page and re-shot by Michael Lehmann. In March 1992, Laurence Mark was appointed as a co-producer and Mary Steenburgen was called in for rewrites. In April 1992, Jesse Bradford was cast as Henry Evans and Jesse Bradford replaced Klesics as Henry because he had grown too old to play the part. In May 1992, Mark Evans was sent to Maine to spend his winter break with Susan, and his uncle, Wallace. The next morning, Mark finds Henry has taken Connie ice skating, where he purposely throws her towards thin ice, which collapses, causing Connie to fall in. Henry then takes it, runs to a cemetery, and throws it down a well.
