       A 3 Dec 1992 DV article stated that Laurence Mark was first attached to produce The Good Son in 1985, when he proposed the idea to novelist Ian McEwan and helped develop the screenplay. In the late 1980s, the project moved from Twentieth Century Fox to Universal’s independent company, Quantum Pictures, with Brian Gilbert in talks to direct. After investing in script rewrites, location scouting, and casting, Universal passed on the project, and the majority of pre-production costs were covered by the Australian film distribution company, Hoyts. Gilbert also left, and Stuart Orme was hired as his replacement under Hemdale Film Corporation. According to production notes in AMPAS library files, The Good Son landed back at Fox when producer Mary Anne Page and executive producer Daniel Rogosin selected the script as their first acquisition in an exclusive two-year deal with the studio. A 27 Oct 1990 Screen International brief linked the project to Miramax Pictures, but no further sources cited the company’s involvement. A 14 Jun 1991 Screen International brief stated Barbara Hershey was in consideration for the adult female lead. The item also suggested the characters Mark and "Henry" were initially written as brothers, not cousins.
       Although production was expected to begin in Jan 1991, several delays arose related to the casting of Macaulay Culkin. An 18 Oct 1991 HR story stated that Michael Lehmann was hired to direct the $15 million project, with $4 million already invested in the construction of sets in New England, and that Mary Steenburgen had been added to the cast. In a meeting with Culkin in Aug 1991, Lehmann decided the twelve-year-old was too young for the role and suggested the studio find another actor. However, Macaulay’s father and manager, Kit Culkin, refused to sign a contract for Fox’s Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992, see entry) unless his son was also cast in The Good Son, which he saw as an opportunity to widen the boy’s acting range. Because the Home Alone sequel was scheduled to shoot in Dec 1991, Fox agreed to delay the 4 Nov 1991 start date of The Good Son until the following autumn. Although the deal stipulated Culkin would receive $1.5—$2 million, a 27 Oct 1991 LAT article suggested that Fox executives approved the actor for both films with the hope of later convincing Kit Culkin to reconsider. Lehmann and Laurence Mark traveled to New York City to read scenes with Macaulay, but were unsuccessful in persuading him to leave the project. Fox embraced the decision and shut down production on 15 Oct 1991, claiming that having “the only child in America that sells tickets” was worth the additional $3—$4 million to postpone production and hire a new director. Lehmann, who was paid upfront, decided to pursue other projects.
       Early the following year, the 27 Jan 1992 HR stated Jonathan Lynn turned down an offer to direct The Good Son in order to work on Hollywood Pictures’ The Distinguished Gentleman (1992, see entry), which was scheduled to begin production in Apr 1992. A 22 May 1992 Screen International item announced the involvement of director-producer Joseph Ruben. A few months later, the 15 Sep 1992 DV reported Mary Steenburgen was eager to re-accept the role of "Susan" after receiving a second offer from Ruben. Although filmmakers hoped to adjust the 7 Dec 1993 production start date to accommodate her schedule, Steenburgen had previously committed to starring in Philadelphia (1993, see entry), and was unavailable. With the casting of Wendy Crewson, principal photography was moved up to 19 Nov 1992.
       After scouting locations in several states along the East Coast, offices were established in Gloucester, MA. House exteriors were filmed in the Manchester-by-the-Sea village in Cape Ann, and additional locations included the communities of Rockport, Essex, Annisquam, Danvers, Beverly, and Marblehead. Interiors of the “Evans” household were shot in a temporary studio built in Beverly’s Lynch Park. Crew filmed the opening sequence in Las Vegas, NV, before relocating to Minnesota, where the climactic scene was staged at Lake Superior’s 120-foot cliff, Palisade Head. The 3 Dec 1992 DV estimated that filming was scheduled to conclude in mid or late Feb 1993.
       Days before production began, the 17 Nov 1992 HR stated that Kit Culkin rejected Ruben’s choice for Macaulay’s onscreen sister, “Connie,” and insisted filmmakers recast the role with his eight-year-old daughter, Quinn Culkin. A few weeks later, the 3 Dec 1992 DV announced that Kit Culkin had producer Laurence Mark fired from the project, due to his association with former director Michael Lehmann. Conflicting reports listed the final production cost as $17 million and $28 million.
       A 1 Aug 1993 LAT article stated that the R-rated film with two recognized child stars provided challenges for Fox’s marketing strategy. However, the film was “picture-locked” in Jul 1993, following two successful test screenings in Los Angeles, CA, and New Jersey. Post-production was expected to continue until 8 Sep 1993, with additional preview screenings to be held throughout the month until its national opening on 24 Sep 1993. Reviews were largely negative, with several critics suggesting that Culkin was, ironically, miscast.
       More than a year after domestic release, the 6 Nov 1994 issue of the London, England Observer reported that the film was finally opening in the U.K. after a year-long ban by the British Board of Film Classification, which deemed the story inappropriate due to the recent murder of two-year-old James Bulger by two ten-year-old boys.
