What's left behind the scenes
- When it was still believed that Bigas Luna would direct the film, he invited Madonna, Javier Bardem, and Dennis Hopper to play the roles of Perdita, Romeo, and Woody Dumas. Madonna left the project, and Victoria Abril was set to play Perdita. Her co-stars would have been Johnny Depp and Ray Liotta.
