Ben Affleck and Matt Damon originally wrote the screenplay as a thriller. Castle Rock Entertainment president Rob Reiner later urged them to drop the thriller aspect of the story and to focus on the relationship between Will Hunting (Damon) and his psychologist (Williams). An interesting rumor also goes that a dice was thrown to decide who will play the leading role between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
本·阿弗莱克和马特·达蒙原本准备创作一部惊险悬疑片。“城堡石”娱乐公司(Castle Rock Entertainment)总裁罗伯·莱纳建议他们放弃影片的惊险因素，把重心放在刻画威尔和其心理诊疗师的情感发展上。还有一则趣闻，据说本·阿弗莱克和马特·达蒙当时是用掷骰子的方式来决定由谁担任此部电影的男主角。
