Cameron Diaz was already preparing for the role of Sonya, but she broke her wrist during the preparation for the fight scenes and couldn’t continue working on the film. Then, the producers noticed Bridgette Wilson who was in Adam Sandler’s Billy Madison. Bridgette remembers, “Then on my last day of filming on Billy Madison, they called me up and asked, ‘Will you do it if we fly you out the next morning?’ and I said ‘Yeah!’ I was so happy both worked out.”
