In 2007, the film's 151-page line-item budget, entered as evidence in a lawsuit and supposedly confidential, was leaked to the Los Angeles Times. The document showed that the production benefited from cheap Moroccan labour and European tax credits, but spent a huge amount of money on a plane crash that was cut, and paid Penélope Cruz's hairstylist and dialect coach over $250,000. It also included payments explicitly labelled as bribes to Moroccan officials, some of which may have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
