Francis Ford Coppola gave Robin Williams camping gear, to spend the night in his backyard, and $10 to spend at Toys R Us before shooting the film.
Robin Williams agreed to play Jack Powell after Disney apologized to him for breaking their promise to keep his name out of the marketing for Aladdin (1992).
Jack's condition is based on progeria, a real-life condition that causes rapid aging. The average lifespan of someone with progeria is 13; the oldest recorded lifespan (as of 2018) is 30.
Although ridiculed for making this film, Francis Ford Coppola has defended it, saying he is not ashamed of the final cut of the movie. He had been friends with Robin Williams for many years and had always wanted to work with him as an actor. When Williams was offered the screenplay for this film, he said he would only agree to do it if Coppola agreed to sign on as director.
After Ryan Acton, Robin Williams's photo double, was told he wasn't needed and allowed to go back to school, he was called back to the set. When Francis Ford Coppola asked him to get to makeup, Acton refused to get out of the car. Williams got into the car and talked to him. Acton got out of the car, went to makeup, and wasn't used for the day. A few years later, Acton revealed what Williams said, "Hi, Ryan, I am your funny double, and if you don't want to get out of the car, it's OK."
"[Jack, 18 years old but looking 72, arrives at his graduation ceremony] Lawrence Woodruff: [addressing the audience] Ladies and gentleman, it is my honor to introduce this year's valedictorian, Jack Charles Powell. [a round of applause approves of this choice] Jack: [taking the stand] Thank you, Aristotle. [He must take out spectacles to read the speech] Eric: Yo, Jack, go get 'em! Jack: I got it, Eric. I'm cool... I don't have very much time these days so I'll make it quick. Like my life. You know, as we come to the end of this phase of our life, we find ourselves trying to remember the good times and trying to forget the bad times, and we find ourselves thinking about the future. We start to worry , thinking, "What am I gonna do? Where am I gonna be in 10 years?" But I say to you, "Hey, look at me!" Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting. And if you're ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day... make a wish and think of me. Make your life spectacular. I know I did. I made it, Mom. I'm a grownup."
"Lawrence Woodruff: You know why I like to teach children, Jack? So I don't get so wrapped up in being an adult. So I can remember there are other things that are important in life - like riding a bike, playing in a treehouse, splashing in water with your good shoes on. And you, my friend, were my most special student. And until recently, you were everything I ever wanted in a student. You were a shooting star amongst ordinary stars. Have you ever seen a shooting star, Jack? Jack: No. Lawrence Woodruff: It's wonderful. It passes quickly, but while it's here it just lights up the whole sky - it's the most beautiful thing you'd ever want to see. So beautiful that the other stars stop and watch. You almost never see one. Jack: Why not? Lawrence Woodruff: Beacuse they're very rare. Quite rare. But I saw one. I did. Jack: I just want to be a regular star. Lawrence Woodruff: Jack, you'll never be regular. You're spectacular."
