It also became known as "the" date movie of 1993. The romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle, which Ephron co-wrote and directed, cost $22 million to make, but earned $126 million at U.S. The following year however, Ephron struck gold. In 1992, Academy Award nominated writer Nora Ephron made her directorial debut with the box office disappointment This is My Life starring Julie Kavner. And, of course, Jonah's dad does not even know yet that he and Annie are made for each other. First, she is presently engaged to marry another man whom she does love. And as Annie sees it, there are just two minor problems. Meanwhile, Annie becomes convinced that it is her destiny to meet Sam, Jonah's lovely dad. Jonah and his dad are immediately besieged by countless letters from listeners reaching out to help, including thousands of marriage proposals from women across the country. Meanwhile, all the way across the country, punching buttons on her car radio as she drives from Baltimore to Washington, D.C., Annie Reed hears Jonah and is immediately captivated by him and his selfless Christmas wish. A little boy, who is tuned in from Seattle calls in his wish, a new wife for his father who has been widowed for a year and a half.

If there is something you think we left off, make sure to add it in the comments below. This is just a small sampling of everything that went into Sleepless in Seattle. After thinking it over, Delia Ephron came up with the idea of having the father and son still at the building but on their way back to the top just as Annie was able to head down. Initially, Sam and Jonah had already exited the Empire State Building by the time Annie had gotten there, but the Ephron sisters just didn’t like the way it played out. And just like she did with the “NY” scene earlier in the movie, the director called on her sister, Delia Ephron to help make the scene work. The final moments of Sleepless in Seattle (Annie finally properly meeting Sam at the top of the Empire State Building) make for an all-time great romantic comedy ending, but Nora Ephron admitted during the commentary that she initially had trouble when working on that section of the script. The Ending At The Empire State Building Originally Looked Much Different So much red, so much love, so much passion shared by the pair as they finally meet and fall in love. Once Annie and Sam’s paths cross at that moment, there’s an abundance of red - the soccer players, Jonah’s coat, and then Annie’s run to the Empire State Building in the film’s final moments. Partly because of me because I hate blue.
But we used a very controlled palette in the movie. It’s just one of those little ideas that production designers sometimes get. And that little group of soccer players is all in red on purpose. One of the ideas of our production designer, Jeffrey Townsend, was to very rarely use red in the moving until the two of them came together. Throughout the first hour-plus of the movie, the color red isn’t used all that much, but that changes when Sam and Annie first cross paths at the Seattle airport, as Ephron revealed in the director’s commentary: Something else that directors (and production designers) really like to play with in movies is color, and it was no different for Nora Ephron and Jeffrey Townsend in Sleepless in Seattle. The Use Of Red And Lack Of Blue In Sleepless In Seattle Wasn’t By Chance
