Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The real Tony Alva is at the party in Jay Adams’s house, telling his mother about Oregon.
Lindsay Lohan was originally set to have a supporting role in the film, playing a love interest for the character Tony Alva. She eventually had to drop out of the film shortly after being cast due to major scheduling conflicts. Her character was then written out of the script just before filming began.
The cameraman-skater for the pool scenes was 1980s skateboarder Lance Mountain, a Powell Peralta rider.
Emile Hirsch already had some experience as a street skater from Southern California prior to appearing in this film.
Originally David Fincher and the other producers hired Fincher “protege” Fred Durst to direct “Dogtown,” with Fincher helping out with the second unit skateboarding scenes. As Durst’s participation came into doubt, Fincher then became the director, even going as far as having sets built, doing extensive pre-visualizations for the feature and hiring Roger Avary to rewrite the script. Fincher then left to take on another feature, paving the way for former Production Designer Catherine Hardwicke to sign on based on the success of her first feature Thirteen.
Was shipped to theaters under the code name “Extreme”.
