Naomi Watts, who had been longtime friends with director John Curran, had the choice of lead roles. She declined to play Terry because she had just finished filming "the emotionally draining" 21 Grams. Laura Dern had initial reservations about playing Terry, saying "I was halfway through the script, I thought, 'OK, I’ve read this before.
