Taps trivia

The film was originally developed at Columbia Pictures by Producer 'Stanley R. Jaffe' (qv), but ran into a series of creative problems with the studio and it was one of many projects that went into "turnaround" under their banner. Jaffe was passionate about the project and then took it to Twentieth Century-Fox, who bought the script and immediately green-lit the project.
Prior to the production of the film, the key actors -'Timothy Hutton' (qv), 'Sean Penn (I)' (qv), 'Tom Cruise' (qv) and others - were required to participate in a 45-day-long period of orientation with the students of Valley Forge Military Academy. They were given uniforms, borrowed from their real life counterparts at the school and given authentic military haircuts. They slept in campus barracks and were subjected to the same rigors and hardship that all Valley Forge cadets went through. While most of the actors enjoyed and excelled at their orientation, Cruise opted to leave the training for the comforts of a nearby hotel until filming began.
'Timothy Hutton' (qv) accepted his Academy Award for _Ordinary People (1980)_ (qv) immediately after shooting on _Taps (1981)_ (qv) begin.

'Ronny Cox (I)' (qv) was 'Harold Becker' (qv)'s original choice to play Colonel, but another unnamed actor was chosen and then fired two days into shooting his scenes. Producer 'Stanley R. Jaffe' (qv) immediately called Cox, who flew down the very next day to begin shooting his scenes.
