The film was green-lit by Paramount Pictures (with whom Adrian Lyne had made both Flashdance (1983) and Attrazione fatale (1987), and with whom writer Bruce Joel Rubin had made Ghost - Fantasma (1990)), but there was a change of leadership in the studio and the new executives were unsure of the film. They demanded that the end of the movie be changed, but both Lyne and Rubin refused, and so Paramount pulled the plug on the film. It appeared as if the project was going to have to be completely abandoned until Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna of Carolco Pictures saved it with a budget of $25 million. They also gave Lyne complete creative control as well as final cut of the film. Ironically, Paramount controls the television distribution rights to this film in the U.S- the result of its parent company, then known as Viacom (as of February 2022, it has become Paramount Global), purchasing Spelling Entertainment, whose Worldvision Enterprises handled the American syndication of this film, among many others from the Carolco library.
