"John Cusack was in San Francisco on Sunday night (Dec. 14) to celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest films ever made about music 2000's High Fidelity. The actor, who is also known for roles in such popular films as Say Anything , Better Off Dead and Hot Tub Time Machine, sat down for a conversation with Bay Area music journalism legend Ben Fong-Torres following a screening of the film at the Golden Gate Theatre."
"1. One disappointing thing about the High Fidelity film that still bothers Cusack to this day: Toward the end of the film, Cusack's character Rob has a let's-get-real conversation with the main love interest Laura (played by Iben Hjejle). Cusack, who also co-wrote the screenplay and co-produced the film, really wanted to use The Beatles' I'm So Tired for the scene but he couldn't get the rights."
John Cusack attended a 25th anniversary screening of High Fidelity in San Francisco and joined a conversation with Ben Fong-Torres at the Golden Gate Theatre. A large crowd of devoted fans attended the screening and Q&A. Cusack revealed a late-film scene between Rob and Laura was intended to use The Beatles' "I'm So Tired," but the rights could not be secured. Cusack described casting Jack Black intentionally after seeing him perform with Tenacious D and recognizing his talent. Cusack also explained that Bruce Springsteen's cameo resulted from asking Springsteen directly and drawing on personal acquaintance.
