In September 2000, it was announced Gwyneth Paltrow was in negotiations to star in View from the Top. According to Miramax executive Harvey Weinstein, Paltrow was paid a $10 million salary for her role in the film.

Principal photography began in January 2001 in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Additional filming occurred in Nevada and in Irvine and Los Angeles, California.
