Producer Scott Steindorff's journey with the project began several years earlier when executive producer Dylan Russell gave him the film's source 1985 novel by Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez. ''He demanded that I read the book, even though the rights were not available,'' Steindorff recalled. ''So, I read it, and I couldn't put it down.'' From that moment, he steadfastly pursued the rights through his company, Stone Village Productions, which he founded in 2000. ''We persisted,'' Steindorff explained. ''Like the character Florentino, I just wouldn't take no for an answer. We spent about a year getting rejected with no hope of getting the movie rights, and then one day, we got the word. Maybe. It took us about another year to convince the author that we would be true to the book, and we would make a great film without compromising any of the elements of the book.''
