Stephen King was quite impressed with Kathy Bates' performance in this film, so much so that he later wrote two more roles for her. The title role in his novel "Dolores Claiborne" was written with Bates in mind, and Bates later starred in the film adaption of Dolores Claiborne (1995). King also wrote the script for the TV mini-series The Stand (1994). His original novel featured a (male) character named Ray Flowers; upon hearing that Bates wanted to be involved in the miniseries, King re-wrote the part as a woman (Rae Flowers) just so Bates could play the part (uncredited).
James Caan once showed up to the set hungover, and all of the scenes he shot that day were unusable. Rob Reiner told Caan he had to do the scenes again because there was "a problem at the lab." When Caan learned it had nothing to do with labs, he offered to cover the money he lost the studio.
Annie Wilkes is Stephen King's favorite written character, because she was always surprising to write, with unexpected depth and sympathy.
One of Stephen King's first typewriters had a malfunctioning "N" key, just like the one used by Paul in the movie. In the novel, the typewriter also drops its "T" and "E" keys. Those two letters are second and first most commonly used letters in the English language, respectively, making Paul's job even tougher.
James Caan had to stay in bed for fifteen weeks of shooting. Caan said he thought that Rob Reiner was playing a "sadistic" joke on him, knowing the actor would not enjoy not moving around for so long. Caan was not used to playing a reactionary character, and found it much tougher to play.
"Paul Sheldon: You want it? You want it? Eat it! Eat it till ya choke, you sick, twisted fuck!"
"Annie Wilkes: I know I left my scrapbook out. I can imagine what you might be thinking of me. But you see, Paul, it's all okay. Last night it came so clear. I realized you just need more time. Eventually, you'll come to accept the idea of being here. Paul, do you know about the early days at the Kimberly diamond mines? Do you know what they did to the Native workers who stole diamonds? Don't worry, they didn't kill them. That would be like junking your Mercedes just because it had a broken spring. No, if they caught them, they had to make sure they could go on working, but they also had to make sure they could never run away. The operation was called hobbling. [Annie places a piece of wood between Paul's ankles] Paul Sheldon: Annie, whatever you're thinking about doing, please don't do it. [Annie picks up a sledgehammer] Paul Sheldon: Annie, for God's... Annie Wilkes: Shh darling, trust me. Paul Sheldon: God's sake... Annie Wilkes: It's for the best. Paul Sheldon: Annie, please! [Annie swings the sledgehammer at Paul's left ankle, breaking it; Paul screams in agonizing pain] Annie Wilkes: Almost done. Just one more. [Annie swings the sledgehammer at Paul's right ankle, breaking it; Paul again screams] Annie Wilkes: God, I love you."
