According to William Friedkin's autobiography, "The Friedkin Connection", George Lucas, riding off the success of American Graffiti (1973), sent his script to The Directors Company, the short-lived shingle that his friend Francis Ford Coppola had founded with Friedkin and Peter Bogdanovich at Paramount Pictures. The movie was budgeted at $9 million, which exceeded the $3.5 million threshold with which Paramount Pictures gave the company free reign to approve productions. As a result of this, as well as Friedkin's lack of faith in the material, The Directors Company passed on this movie.
