After having a very difficult time getting his previous film, Sydney (1996) released, Paul Thomas Anderson laid down a hard law when getting this film made. He initially wanted the film to be over three hours long, and be rated NC-17. The film's producers, particularly Michael De Luca, said that the film had to be either under three hours or rated R. Anderson fought with them, saying that the film would not have a mainstream appeal no matter what. They did not change their minds, and Anderson chose the R rating as a challenge. Despite this, the film was still twenty minutes shorter than promised.
