Loosely inspired by writer and director Brad Silberling's own experience. He was dating Rebecca Schaeffer at the time she was killed by an obsessed fan in 1989.
The film's original title was "Baby's in Black", after The Beatles' song. The producers found the rights to the song too expensive, so the film was renamed "Moonlight Mile" after a lesser-known song by The Rolling Stones.
Writer and director Brad Silberling wrote the characters of Ben and JoJo Floss with Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon in mind.
When the film was completed, Brad Silberling took a print up to Oregon, rented a private theater and showed it to Rebecca Schaeffer's parents. They had been involved in every draft of the screenplay.
Inspired by the murder of director Brad Silberling's girlfriend, Rebecca Schaeffer. Silberling actually did end up moving in with Schaeffer's parents for a couple of months as Jake Gyllenhaal's character does in the film.
"Joe Nast: I'm sorry, I can't, I can't do this. It didn't happen. We loved each other, we broke it off. If I don't-Jesus, if I don't say this now, it'll never-she'll never be a part of this. What are we-what are we doing here? I don't even-I don't even know this guy. She-she didn't even know this guy. What's he got to do with her? I don't-look, you asked me to bring her in the room, and she's not here-she's not. And whatever happens here, whatever happens to this guy, she's not here. And the only way that you're gonna bring her in here is with the truth. I don't know-I don't know what else to say. You just tell me what to say, and I swear, I'll try, but if you want her, you got to keep it honest. You have to understand that Diana had this thing, this way of bringing out the real in people, not just the best, you know-their honesty. And I guess she's doing it again now cause there's no way I'd be sitting here saying these things I can't believe are coming out of my mouth. It was Diana who finally had the courage. *She* was the one who told *me* that I didn't want to go through with it. And I guess she's-she's doing it again, cause all of this-all of this is everything that she wouldn't want. She wasn't a bride-to-be. She wasn't a victim. She was strong and real and messed up and wickedly honest, just like her mother. And if I sit here trying to paint it any other way, I... Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just-I thought-I thought that if I could just... paint the pictures that you needed, you know, that... that somehow... that somehow you'd bring these people some peace, finally, and they'd have their daughter back, or... But, uh... that's not how she'd wanna be. The truth is hard. Sometimes it looks so wrong, you know-the color's off, the style's wrong, but I guess it-I guess it's where the good one's live."
"[Jo Jo is throwing self help books into a fire] Ben Floss: Those were gifts. Jo Jo Floss: "Grieving for Grownups"? Ben Floss: They're supposed to be helpful. Jo Jo Floss: Please. THIS is helpful. [Throws another book into the fire]"
