The film owes its genesis to a 1993 episode of La signora del West (1993). Johnny Cash was guest starring on the show and had become friends with the star, Jane Seymour, and her husband, director James Keach. Cash suggested to Keach that he should tackle a film of the singer's life which he readily agreed to, so Keach and Seymour started compiling interviews with Johnny Cash in preparation for a script. By 1997, Gill Dennis had enough material to put a screenplay together, but the project had stalled. That's when Keach reached out to James Mangold, knowing the director had been lobbying hard for the chance to get involved.
