Writer Bruce Joel Rubin wrote the script for Jacob's Ladder in the early 1980s after he had a dream of being trapped in a subway. He spent several years trying to get it produced, but the script remained languishing in developmental limbo. During this period, Rubin's agent told him that the film would never be made as "Hollywood doesn't make ghost movies". After the Rubin scripted Ghost - Fantasma (1990) became a smash hit, coupled with the success of Alan Parker's Angel Heart - Ascensore per l'inferno (1987), studios became more open to the possibilities of Rubin's script. After taking on the role of director, Adrian Lyne spent over a year refining the script with writer Rubin.
