Short description
David Aames has it all: wealth, good looks and gorgeous women on his arm. But just as he begins falling for the warmhearted Sofia, his face is horribly disfigured in a car accident. That's just the beginning of his troubles as the lines between illusion and reality, between life and death, are blurred.
What's left behind the scenes
- Kurt Russell agreed to star in the film without even reading the script.
- Michael Keaton, Harrison Ford, and Alec Baldwin were all considered for the role of Dr. McKay.
- Footage from Robert Mulligan's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962) appears briefly in the film. It's one of Cameron Crowe's favorite movies.
- The studio demanded that Cameron Crowe remove scenes depicting the World Trade Center towers destroyed on September 11th. Crowe refused.
- Steven Spielberg appears at David's birthday. During the filming of "Vanilla Sky," Spielberg and Tom Cruise were preparing to collaborate on "Minority Report" (2002).
- The name of Dr. McKay, the character played by Kurt Russell, came from Nancy Wilson's solo album “Life in a Guitar Shop” – Nancy Wilson being the wife of Cameron Crowe.
- David Aames' birthday is September 22, 1968.
- Cameron Crowe and Tom Cruise invited the legendary director Billy Wilder to make a cameo appearance, but he declined.
- The director claims that the film contains 428 references to various cultural phenomena (books, films, events).
- Several paintings by Ralph Bakshi hang in David's room.
- In the film, Tom Cruise wears an IWC Mark XV watch.
- Tom Cruise drives a 1967 Ford Mustang and a Ferrari 250 GTO.
- It is a remake of Alejandro Amenábar's 1997 film "Open Your Eyes".
- A poster for François Truffaut's 1962 film "Jules and Jim" hangs in David's bedroom. In the finale, Truffaut's heroine crashes a car with her lover off a bridge, which directly references the plot of "Vanilla Sky".
- Cameron Diaz's car, in which the characters crash, is a 1970 Buick Skylark.
