Production

Filming took place in Luxembourg in the summer of 1998. The production went through many obstacles, mainly with the script, which had to be rewritten multiple times by multiple screenwriters. Lead actress Kate Mulgrew even had to part in the writing of key pages. By the time filming began, only 10% of the original script was left. The unfortunate circumstances were a result of changes in network executive producers, filming locations, and clashes between executives from Paramount Television, Alliance Atlantis, and RTL Group.
