Eventually the production was dropped and the movie canceled. In June 2001, Creator/SharonStone filed a lawsuit against the movie's producers, Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar, for being responsible for the delays and therefore making her unable to take other jobs. She filed for nearly $100 million in damages. Three years later, during her promotion tour for ''Film/Catwoman2004'', she stated that she had finally dropped the charges and that the film was back on track.
