When did filming begin?


This movie came out in early 2002 however it seems from the style of clothes, cars, CD player that the filming almost began closer to 2000 or even in the late 1990's. Beside in 2002 all of the actors were in their late 20's, and a few were in their 30's.
Anyone know the details of when it was shot?

It was shot in 2001. What you're seeing is 2001 fashion, cars, electronics. The late 90s looked very similar to the early 2000s, obviously.

Do you know that for a fact, or are you just guessing based on the release date. Since it was a small movie it could have been filmed a few years prior to release.

After meeting at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas, Nevada in April 2001, MC Hammer (credited as a producer) provided the much needed funding to the filmmaker Justin Lin for this film. The director said, "Out of desperation, I called up MC Hammer because he had read the script and liked it. Two hours later, he wired the money we needed into a bank account and saved us."

Filmed in 2001, as MC Hammer provided the funding for filming in 2001.

Thank you for the info. I guess I just forget how long ago 2001 was.
