She explains that several years before, her estranged father passed away and that the funeral took place in Florida.
She was so distraught after the funeral that she wandered off and ended up at the New York Yankees spring training facility where she met legendary Yankees catcher, Thurman Munson thus explaining her shrine to Munson seen in the film. From then on, she developed a deep-rooted love of the game. According to Ron Shelton in the DVD commentary, he cut that scene out when it was received poorly during a test screening.
After the scene was removed, a second test screening was done and the movie received a high score. Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon first met during the filming of this movie. Near the end of the movie, Annie quotes some poetry in a voiceover and then says "That was Thomas Gray For years, Ron Shelton has contemplated making a sequel and remarked, "I couldn't figure out in the few years right after it came out, what do you do?
Nuke's in the big leagues, Crash is managing in Visalia. Is Annie going to go to Visalia? I've been to Visalia. That will test a relationship It was not a simple fable to continue with - not that we don't talk about continuing it, now that everyone's in their 60s". The line "the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom" is from William Blake 's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell".
During a conversation between Crash and Nuke on the team bus, a newspaper's sports page is shown briefly with a headline reading "Hard-hittin' Whiten". Whiten said he missed his brief moment of fame when he first saw the movie in the theatre, but caught it when he rented it later.
Whiten went on to have a fairly ordinary year career in the majors highlighted by one game in which he tied two major league records with four homers and 12 RBI. Paula Abdul incorrectly believed that in exchange for choreographing Tim Robbins ' bar dance moves, she would get a line or two in the movie. When told that no such deal was agreed upon, Abdul "marched off screaming," according to Ron Shelton. According to Ron Shelton , "I wrote a very early script about minor league baseball; the only thing it had in common with Bull Durham was that it was about a pitcher and a catcher.
For this film, Shelton "decided to see if a woman could tell the story" and "dictated that opening monologue on a little micro-recorder while I was driving around North Carolina.
The field where the Durham Bulls played in the movie still has the original bull on the outfield fence. But they had to move the bull from right field to left field because they had to redo the right field fencing. When Nuke is giving his interview at the big league stadium after being called up to the majors, he's wearing a t-shirt for the ska-punk band Fishbone.
Tim Robbins in real life is a huge fan of the band. Fishbone would also feature in the movie Tapeheads , released later that same year, starring Robbins and John Cusack , who is also a big fan of Fishbone.
When Nuke is promoted to the majors we see him giving a television interview. This scene was filmed at Arlington Stadium, which was the former home field for the Major League team the Texas Rangers. The team's manager tells Crash that the team in Visalia is looking for a manager.
Kevin Costner went to school for a year at Mt. The studio thought that Susan Sarandon was too old and not funny enough to play Annie. So producer Thom Mount had Sarandon who was 41 during production go to Orion Pictures co-founder Mike Medavoy 's office in a tight dress and lean over his desk for half an hour.
I definitely didn't go in there in a T-shirt and jeans. I remember I had on an off-the-shoulder red-and-white-striped dress. It was very form-fitting. It was understood what I had to do. Crash was modelled on Pike Bishop, William Holden 's character in The Wild Bunch : a guy who "loved something more than it loved him.
A few years later he would star in JFK , whose protagonist believes Oswald did not act alone and was possibly a fall guy for the Kennedy assassination. Michelle Pfeiffer auditioned for the role of Annie Savoy but wasn't cast due to being perceived as too young. Nick Nolte , one of the biggest male stars at the time, turned down the lead because he had just finished several movies back-to-back, and, most importantly, because he isn't a fan of baseball.
Nolte famously played a footballer in North Dallas Forty , a movie he co-wrote. David Duchovny was considered for the role of Nuke LaLoosh.
Melanie Griffith was considered for the role of Annie Savoy, but she was busy with Working Girl In one scene, 'Nuke' LaLoosh Tim Robbins gives up a home run that strikes the bull, supposedly rewarding the opposing hitter with a free steak. In reality, at the old Durham Athletic Park, the bull was in foul territory. According to the audio commentary for Ant-Man , the director, Peyton Reed , drove a van as a production assistant for the production of this movie.
He says he has a picture of Susan Sarandon autographing his forehead. Kelly McGillis was interested to play the role of Annie but turned it down. Instead, McGillis starred in The Accused Both teams still exist in the Texas League under new names. Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis were considered to play the parts of Annie and Crash but declined due to their commitment to the TV series Moonlighting Kim Basinger was originally offered the role of Annie Savoy but turned it down. As is the case with many baseball films, the actors are using bats that are the models used by actual major leaguers.
In several scenes, you can see the breath coming from the actors' mouths. Never, in any case, would I have wasted even a flake. Sales of the top brands are growing 10 percent a year, and so will membership in the brotherhood of cereal fanatics. Cereal is the easiest and fastest thing to fix in the universe, even when you make something of a ceremonial production of it, as I do.
Each morning I take down seven or eight cereals from the cupboard above the stove and set the boxes out like library books on the dining room table. My wife and I behold a smorgasbord of whatever cereals we happened to have had coupons for last time we went shopping we are cereally promiscuous, deliberately cultivating no loyalties and any new or unusual cereals on the market.
We will try anything once. But as with the ghastly Dinersaurs recently, we do not always finish the box. We sprinkle the cereal into soup tureens, as regular bowls are not large enough to contain our desires. First a layer of one cereal, then a layer of another and then still another.
On the top we sprinkle either Grape Nuts or Nutri-Grain Nuggets, a pair of identical granular cereals each of which claims superiority to the other. I remember I had on an off-the-shoulder red-and-white-striped dress. It was very form-fitting. It was understood what I had to do. Altobelli once told Shelton about his time as an aging player when his team ordered him to help the legendarily wild—and extremely talented—pitcher Steve Dalkowski grow up and turn into the major league talent he was capable of becoming.
But the general manager of the Giants really wanted the game played, so he hired a helicopter to dry the infield and had the game played in front of grateful fans.
The name was found in an old Carolina League record book, and Shelton assumed he was dead. When that very-much-breathing Davis accepted an invitation to the set, he agreed to let them use his name in the movie as soon as he was told that Crash gets the girl in the end. Shot in North Carolina in October and November , the grass was touched up with green paint.
