After Jahn stated that he would write screenplays himself, asked him to Schweiger to send him a script, which Jahn then did. The first script, the Jahn sent him, called American Dream. Later Jahn sent him the script to Knockin 'on Heaven 's Door, at that time still the title Fire and Rain wore. Til Schweiger agreed to participate in the production of the movie and sat through that Jahn was allowed to lead the government, although he had collected had no experience in the professional field and only in 1993 as an amateur in addition to his work made the film from time to time.
