Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- After studio head Brandon Tartikoff left Paramount, his successor Sherry Lansing was not receptive to the script Hugh Wilson had developed with PJ Torokvei. Because stars Shirley MacLaine and Nicolas Cage already had pay-or-play deals in place, Lansing gave Wilson a window of time to set the film up elsewhere, or Paramount would make it on a reduced budget.
