His preparation on the film relied heavily on the book Nightmare of Ecstasy by Rudolph Grey (ISBN 0-922915-24-5), a biography for which extensive research was done and several interviews with family members and colleagues of Wood were conducted. Although Woods movies are so bad that they are ridiculous, the movie is a sincere homage to a man who wanted to make movies out of sheer love for the medium. Martin Landau won an Oscar for his portrayal of actor Béla Lugosi.
