Summary:Elizabethtown, starring [Bloom], Kirsten Dunst and Susan Sarandon, will mark [Cameron Crowe]'s sixth film as director. The former Rolling Stone writer is best known for helming such popular films as 1996's Jerry Maguire starring Tom Cruise, 1989's Say Anything starring John Cusak and 2000's Almost Famous staring Kate Hudson, for which he received an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Crowe made his first big break into Hollywood as the writer for 1982's Fast Times at Ridgemont High that starred Sean Penn in one of his fist on-screen performances. Filming began at the Survivor Tree during the late afternoon, after the crew finished filming other scenes in El Reno. Filmmakers chose to include the Survivor Tree for its significance and for being a moving place, as Drew Baylor, the main character played by Bloom, is going through a very introspective time in his life, attempting to come to terms with his father's death, officials told The Journal Record. It is a very significant place for him to visit in the film, and he has a very moving moment there.
