Production [edit]
Development [edit]
The inspiration for A Walk to Recall was Nicholas Sparks' sis, Danielle Sparks Lewis, who died of cancer in 2000. In a spoken language he gave after her death in Berlin, the author admits that "In many ways, Jamie Sullivan was my younger sister". The plot was inspired by her life; Danielle met a man who wanted to marry her, "fifty-fifty when he knew she was ill, fifty-fifty when he knew that she might non brand it".[three] Both the volume and film are dedicated to Danielle Sparks Lewis.
Information technology was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, at the same time that Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002) and the television bear witness Dawson's Creek were being filmed there. Many of the sets were from Dawson'southward Creek (1998) – particularly the school, hospital and Landon'southward home. The total shooting time was only 39 days, despite Moore being able to but work 10 hours a 24-hour interval considering she was a minor. Daryl Hannah, who wore a brown wig every bit her graphic symbol, had received a collagen injection in her lips, which went awry and caused noticeable swelling. By the terminate of filming, however, the symptoms were less obvious.[5]
Casting [edit]
Managing director Shankman wanted the atomic number 82 characters to be portrayed by young actors: "I wanted young actors with whom teenagers could connect", he said.[6] Shankman bundled a meeting with Shane W after he saw him in a magazine. He was looking for someone who could transition from beingness very dark to very lite. He described his choice as "an instinct" he had about W, who would appear in almost every scene and had "to be either incredibly aroused and self-hating or madly in love and heroic."[vi] W said: "I don't generally read love stories, but after reading the screenplay, I knew I couldn't await to read the book so I could truly empathize Nicholas Sparks' story and how he envisioned the character of Landon. It'south a beautiful story and the characters are very believable, which is what attracted me to the projection.[6]
Shankman said of Moore that she "has the vocalization and the face of an angel" and added that she is luminous.[6] Moore explained that she was moved by the volume: "I had such a visceral reaction to it that I remember not beingness able to read because I was most hyperventilating while I was crying." Commenting on the moving-picture show, she said: "It was my first movie and I know people say it may be platitude and it's a tearjerker or it's cheesy, simply for me, it'south the thing I'm most proud of."[7]
Comparisons to novel [edit]
While there are many similarities to the novel by Nicholas Sparks, many changes were made. On his personal website, Sparks explains the decisions behind the differences. For case, he and the producer decided to update the setting from the 1950s to the 1990s, worrying that a film ready in the 50s would fail to draw teens. "To interest them," he writes, "we had to brand the story more contemporary."[8] To make the update believable, Landon'south pranks and behavior are worse than they are in the novel; every bit Sparks notes, "the things that teen boys did in the 1950s to be considered a petty 'rough' are different than what teen boys in the 1990s exercise to be considered 'rough.'"[8]
Sparks and the producer also changed the play in which Landon and Jamie appear. In the novel, Hegbert wrote a Christmas play that illustrated how he once struggled as a begetter. Due to fourth dimension constraints, the sub-plot showing how he overcame his struggles could not be included in the film. Sparks was concerned that "people who hadn't read the book would question whether Hegbert was a good father", adding that "considering he is a good male parent and we didn't desire that question to linger, we inverse the play."[8]
A significant departure is that at the end of the novel, unlike the film, it is ambiguous whether Jamie died or only disappeared into the shadow globe. Sparks says that he had written the book knowing she would die, yet had "grown to love Jamie Sullivan", and then opted for "the solution that all-time described the verbal feeling I had with regard to my sis at that point: namely, that I hoped she would alive."[9]
