Christopher Reeve and John Travolta were offered the lead role of Julian but both turned it down in the end. Reeve was supposedly offered $1 million to play the title role. Travolta originally accepted the part then rejected it. Reportedly, according to the 18 June 1979 edition of 'Playgirl' magazine, Reeve was offered a paycheck of $1 million to play the part of Julian Kay, which in the end was cast with Richard Gere. The same magazine reported that Gere's salary on this picture was $35,000 plus back-end percentage points from the picture's box-office profits. Earlier, the 18 January 1978 edition of 'The Los Angeles Times' had announced that Travolta, when he was attached to the project, would be starring in this film for a salary of $2 million.
