It was shot in just 36 days
Twentieth Century Fox, who underwrote the film, wanted Edmonds Entertainment to wait to shoot the movie until 1997, the year it ended up being released in theaters. But that just wouldn’t work, all three lead actresses, Vanessa L. Williams, Nia Long and Vivica Fox, all had already committed to other projects for that year. So Edmonds Entertainment was forced to shoot the movie in 36 days. If they went over the allotted days, another company could have taken over the project. To put that in perspective, smaller, simple plots usually take 8 months to shoot, while thrillers can take 1-2 years. So needless to say it was a crunch.
