Originally, Stephen King's story was about boys facing their first ideas of mortality, ie., the dead body, the oncoming train, and the psycho bullies--
But when Rob Reiner pitched the story as being about "The last 11-yo. boy summer together", King reportedly liked that idea even better.

It’s so sad what happened to river Phoenix. Makes the ending that more poignant. I always get emotional at the end

A standout showcase for the young cast, well-written and produced. Interesting how much it resonated with you, Dillon.
