What's left behind the scenes

David Cronenberg could have directed the film, but producer Mario Kassar removed David from the project because the director wanted to bring most of his film crew with him. After that, the director's position was offered to John McTiernan.
Robert Downey Jr. was rejected by producers after a scandal related to the actor's drug addiction. Kurt Russell declined to participate in the project, fearing nudity before the cameras. Pierce Brosnan cited unpleasant moments in the script. Bruce Greenwood, Harrison Ford, Viggo Mortensen, Benicio Del Toro, Aaron Eckhart, and Benjamin Bratt were also on the list of contenders for the male lead in the film.
Sharon Stone wanted to cast Catherine Deneuve in the project. Ultimately, the role went to Charlotte Rampling.
The temperamental Sharon announced her withdrawal from the project at the moment everything was ready to begin filming. Producers urgently began searching for a replacement, considering Demi Moore and Ashley Judd.
Jerry Goldsmith was supposed to head the work on the soundtrack. Unfortunately, shortly before the project launched, the celebrated composer passed away.
The director of the original film, Paul Verhoeven, could have also directed the sequel but preferred to work in his homeland – the Netherlands.
The film was in pre-production as early as 2000 and 2001. Throughout this time, the project was plagued by two problems – the lack of a director and a leading man. Exhausted, Stone filed a lawsuit against the film's producers (Andrew Waina and Mario Cassar) for $100 million in damages and for the lack of new job offers due to the actress being “occupied” with the “half-dead” project. In 2004, to the surprise of many, Sharon withdrew her lawsuit and agreed to resume work on the film with the same producers.
Filming took place from April 18 to August 2005.
