Steven Spielberg and Michael Jackson's friendship ended, due to this movie. Several years earlier, Spielberg had told Jackson of his desire to make a live action version of Peter Pan, [[a character and story Jackson was famously obsessed with.) According to Spielberg, from then on Jackson was under the [[completely mistaken) impression Spielberg had promised him the lead role. When he subsequently didn't get the part, Jackson took the perceived snub extremely personally and never spoke to Spielberg again.
