Screenwriter Robert Towne, who wrote the scripts for both "Chinatown" and "The Two Jakes," was originally scheduled to direct but the production was cancelled a few days before it was supposed to start shooting. "The Two Jakes," plagued by troubles from its inception, was shelved for several years until Jack Nicholson stepped in as director. Towne intended the two films to be part of a trilogy dealing with the corruption surrounding the development of Southern California and the criminal appropriation of its natural resources, such as water and oil.
