Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Hearts of Fire (1987)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Lorimar Productions judged Scott Richardson, the original screenwriter of Hearts of Fire, a "baby writer" too inexperienced to build a star vehicle for Bob Dylan, so Joe Eszterhas, later the writer of Basic Instinct, rewrote the script.
- Hearts of Fire is regarded as the film that "killed Richard Marquand", the director of Return of the Jedi, who died of a stroke later the same year.
- Bob Dylan was apparently contracted to write and contribute four new original recordings to the soundtrack but turned in only two original songs and one cover, John Hiatt's "The Usual", alongside his own "Night After Night" and "Had a Dream About You Baby".
