Production
In 1999, American singer Mariah Carey began working on a film and soundtrack project titled All That Glitters and signed a $100 million deal with Virgin Records. The film was retitled to Glitter and production began in 2000. During this time, Carey also began working on another film entitled WiseGirls. This film was produced by Lions Gate Films, Leading Pictures and Intermedia Films.
Mariah is looking forward to being able to participate in both her album and movie projects [...] She has been making great recovery progress, and continues to grow stronger every day. Virgin Music Worldwide continues to give its absolute commitment and support to Mariah on every level.
In an interview, Anthony Esposito, a producer of WiseGirls, noted that "when he spent time with Carey during the WiseGirls shoot, it was clear she had been pushing herself to the limit. After a day of shooting on the film, he says Carey would often just keep on working into the night". He also called Carey "a person that never, ever relaxes". Released in 2001, Glitter met to negative reviews and was called one of the worst films ever made.
During production for WiseGirls, rumours surfaced of a feud and physical altercation between Carey and American actress Mira Sorvino, the lead actress of the film. Tabloids reported that Carey started the fight by throwing a salt shaker at Sorvino.
We had one verbal argument, one day [...] but there was no physicality whatsoever — as if you could really imagine me rolling on the ground and pulling her hair out, as the National Enquirer said [...] I'm very sorry for the recent troubles that she's experiencing. I think she'll come out of it fine. She's a very smart person.
