Wood told during an interview that he is "scared to death" of doing it, because he is a huge fan of Iggy Pop and he doesn't want to be the "person responsible for screwing that up."

Iggy Pop liked the script but refused to take a part in the film. He said "The script ain't chopped liver... It was a work of art. But subjectively, I don't want to be involved in any way". "A producer and the writer sent me a very decent letter, and asked me to write back if I didn't want them to do it... I don't feel negative about it at all." About Elijah he said: "he seems like a very poised and talented actor."
