Before Falling Down (1993), Michael Douglas planned to take a break after shooting 2 films back to back until Joel Schumacher told him to read the script, which Douglas liked the script so much that he even accepted a lower salary and still considers it his favorite performance.

John Cusack read the script for "Being John Malkovich" (1999) after asking his agent to bring him the craziest, most unproducible script he can find. He was impressed, so he told his agent to keep track of it and get him an audition, which eventually won him the role.

Falling Down is a vintage ‘90s thriller that pits Robert Duvall against Michael Douglas. Douglas plays an Average Joe who finally breaks loose and goes crazy on “the system”. Duvall is the cop following in his wake. It’s a fun, easy-to-digest film that allows Duvall to shine.

Michael Douglas on what he would want the younger people to take away from 'Falling Down' (1993): "Interviewer: What would you want people to get out of the film today, especially younger people? Michael Douglas: That’s a really good question. Hopefully, they just enjoy the fact of a well-made picture, just enjoy what a really good script looks like. As far as a social message, I think it’s just about getting along. Sort of an answer to the polarization that’s going on now. And I would say that William represents more of the far right side, and a lack of an ability to accept or understand minorities’ positions. And just accept the fact that America is going to be brown in our future. The shade is going to be closer to brown than white." (Michael Douglas' interview with Bryan Reesman, AV Club, 2023)

Matt Damon says Christopher Nolan flew a production assistant to rural Germany with The Interstellar script because it wasn’t allowed to leave his possession “They sent a production assistant to Germany hand carrying the script because they wouldn’t send it in the mail” “He showed up at 9:00 at night and said, ‘Here’s the script.’ I told him, ‘I have to shoot at 5:00 in the morning. I’m going to bed.’ Then I realized he had to stay because he couldn’t leave the script” “When I finally read it the next day, I was a puddle. I had never reacted to a script that way”

After Veerasimha Reddy, I narrated a script to #ThalapathyVijay garu. He liked it in the very first sitting. But just as we were about to announce it, he faced pressure from his side to back out just because I'm a Telugu director. – #GopichandMalineni ! #Thalapathy #Vijay

Joel Schumacher on the surprising & frightening opening of the "Politically incorrect" 'Falling Down' (1993) & how it impacted American culture: "When we first showed it to an audience, the marketing people at Warner Bros, predicted we’d get sixty to a hundred walkouts because people would not tolerate that kind of politically incorrect tone in a him. No one left. They cheered. That was one of the most surprising, most frightening things for me. When Michael Douglas walked into that Korean grocery store and started beating this guy the audience cheered. When he took a baseball bat to the street gang they cheered. When he took out the gun in the Wham Burger, which is my favorite scene in the movie, there was pandemonium to create that kind of response. At the same time, that wasn’t the point of the movie. 'Falling Down' became a news story in itself. It was on the cover of Newsweek. Ebbe’s script had touched a nerve in the culture. There was a lot of ink in those days about the fading white middle-class American male, which is what the Newsweek cover story was about. They used Michael’s character in the film as an example of that. That’s some of what the movie was about also. There was endless debate, some of it pro and some of it con, about whether Michael Douglas’s character was the good guy or the bad guy. Not for one minute did Michael or I ever think he was the good guy. We always knew he was the bad guy. He’s a man who winds up on the end of a pier waving a loaded gun at his ex-wife and child." ("The Directors: Take Two", Robert J. Emery, 2002) P.S: On this day, 33 years ago, Joel Schumacher's "Falling Down" (1993) starring Michael Douglas & Robert Duvall was released in the USA.
