(August 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> Following the completion of his novel The Child in Time, English novelist Ian McEwan was invited by 20th Century Fox to write a screenplay "about evil - possible concerning children ." McEwan recalled, "The idea was to make a low budget, high class movie, not something that Fox would naturally make a lot of money on ." </P> <P> Despite being well received, the end result was deemed insufficiently commercial by the parties that commissioned it, and it floated around Hollywood until being discovered by independent producer Mary Ann Page . Enthusiastic about the script, originally sent to her as a writing sample, Page tried to get the project off the ground for three and a half years . The film was briefly set up at Universal Studios, during which Brian Gilbert was attached as director . In 1988, Michael Klesic was originally cast in the role of Henry Evans . The film was soon after put on hold due to a lack of funding . Following the successes of Home Alone and The Silence of the Lambs, which respectively demonstrated the appeal of both a movie about kids and of an "extreme thriller," Fox itself chose to revisit the project, which they now saw as viable . Director Michael Lehmann (Heathers) became attached, Laurence Mark was appointed as a co-producer, and McEwan was called in for rewrites . Mary Steenburgen was cast as Susan and Jesse Bradford had replaced Klesic as Henry because he had grown too old to play the part . McEwan was optimistic about the project and by November 1991, sets were being built in Maine for a production that would cost approximately $12 million . </P> <P> This progress was suddenly interrupted when Kit Culkin, Macaulay Culkin's father and manager, at the time a notoriously influential force in Hollywood due to the child's stardom, wanted his son to star in the film . Wishing to prove Macaulay's capacity in a dark role, he made his part in The Good Son a condition for his appearing in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York . Fox agreed enthusiastically due to Culkin's bankability . As the movie was originally scheduled to shoot at the same time as Home Alone 2, the start date for The Good Son was pushed back for a year, making Steenburgen no longer available and having her replaced by Wendy Crewson but also enabling Elijah Wood's involvement . </P>

Where does the movie the good son take place
