During the screening Q&A, Stone recalled that Harrelson, who at the time was best known for playing the fun-loving yet gullible Woody Boyd on Cheers, was the last name on the studio’s list to play Mickey Knox.
‘Woody was the last choice on Warner’s list for NBK,’ the director said, with Harrelson responding, ‘I’m just glad I made the list.’

‘Television has ruined this country. Billions of dollars were made by TV telling the OJ story,’ Stone said.
‘I was mad at the media and wanted to rebel against all of them, the media, the police, the prison system,’ he added.

Natural Born Killers wasn’t a box office blockbuster, earning $50.2 million from a $34 million budget, as Stone revealed Warner Bros. is still ‘scared’ of the movie.
‘Warner Bros is still f***ing scared of this movie. They won’t let us show my uncensored director’s cut tonight because they are afraid you will riot. So let’s riot!’ he said.
Harrelson also added that he wasn’t in the best mental state while making this movie, since he, ‘studied every possible serial killer.’
Lewis was in a similar state, adding, ‘If anyone believes in Mercury going into retrograde, filming was kind of like that. But I was in my 20s and going through my nihilistic phase.”
