 Hatem recalled in "The Making of Miracles" interview on the "Miracles" DVD set that he was puzzled when he was sent the script to re-write, because he thought it was "pretty wonderful as it [was]".Hatem's agent later confirmed to him that Spyglass actually wanted him to use the screenplay as a jumping off point to create a one-hour television series, "a sort of 'spiritual "X-Files"".When Hatem met with executives at Spyglass, he brought with him a "good luck charm," the book "The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism" by Herbert Thurston, which Hatem said "Miracles" later "evolved into."
