The filmmakers initially sought Jackie Chan for the role of Evelyn before the script was revised to feature a female protagonist, inspired by the works of Hong Kong film director Wong Kar-wai, the children's book Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, and the video game Everything. Yeoh garnered widespread critical acclaim for her performance, winning the Best Actress at the 95th Academy Awards.
