In the initial planning for filming, director Chu Yin-Ping wanted NBA player Yao Ming to make a cameo appearance in the film. However, he is unlikely to do so due to injuries.[2]
During the pre-production period, the lead actress role has been previously offered to stars such as Korean actress Yoon Eun Hye and singer BoA.[3][1] Instead, the producers settled on casting Hong Kong singer and actress Charlene Choi.[2]
