Scene In Nevada: Fools Rush In

Released on Valentine’s Day in 1997, Fools Rush In is a romantic comedy starring Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek. The film is about a casual one night stand that results in a pregnancy, a hasty marriage, and ultimately, true love.

The film was inspired by Producer Doug Draizin and Co-Producer Anna-Maria Davis’s relationship. Davis is a Las Vegas native who grew up in Boulder City and wanted to show that not only is life in Las Vegas normal, but that there is more to Nevada than Las Vegas. Through Salma Hayek’s character, who is a “photographer dedicated to capturing the beauty of Southern Nevada’s desert landscape,” people who have seen the movie can appreciate how beautiful the State of Nevada is.
