Production Notes:
Filming took place in sectors of Manhattan, on board
the USS Wasp during Fleet Week in May, and during July in a Coachella
Valley home decorated to resemble a posh New York apartment.
A press conference was held August 2, 2007 at the UC
Riverside Palm Desert Campus, which allowed members of the press and
public to meet most of the cast and crew of ADOPT A SAILOR
“I am really happy about this film, otherwise I
wouldn’t be here,” Peter told Desert Local News. “It’s a heartfelt
project.” Bebe Neuwirth was familiar with the original play from
performing a 10-minute version as part of the 2002 Brave New World
showcase to commemorate the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
After Bebe landed her role for the film version, and casting began for
the role of her husband, she asked Evered, "Does anybody love Peter
Coyote?" Bebe forwarded him the script, he had time in his schedule and
said yes. Peter told Evered while accepting the part that the script hit
home. He said it was the first time he'd laughed out loud while reading
a script in a long time, and he told Evered, 'I'm going to do everything
in my power to make this work."
The film is scheduled for release in 2008. One
percent of the film’s proceeds will go to the Fisher House Foundation, a
charity to help benefit military families in need.
