Sean Penn went on to direct 'The Indian Runner.'
Sean then recalled the unusual way he first approached Bruce about the project.
"He had no idea who he was talking to. This kid that’s dating his little sister, drunk on Heineken and waking him up at New Jersey at 3:30 in the morning asking, 'Can I make a movie of that song [Highway Patrolman]?'" he said.
Years later, he followed up with Bruce after completing the script.
"Eight years later, I just went ahead and wrote it. And I called up Bruce and said, 'Remember that guy, me, that was dating your sister?' and I asked, 'Would you read the script?’ And he read it and said, 'Go for it,'" Sean said.
Sean went on to direct The Indian Runner, which was released in 1991 and drew from Bruce’s 1982 song "Highway Patrolman."
