As per a Paper report, Cyborg 2 director had read around 50 actresses and model types. Back in 2006, he had said, “It was really difficult to find somebody who had the cyborg quality but still has some kind of presence, and when this girl came in, I knew she had what it takes.”

Michaeln Schroeder continued, “Then I found out she’s only 17, and we can’t mess around with labor laws and welfare workers and school teachers. I just didn’t have that luxury; I had to shoot, shoot, shoot. She had just finished high school; she had done her junior and senior year in five months.”

When Michael Schroeder found out that Angelina Jolie is Jon Voight’s daughter, they started the emancipation process so she could film the said topless scene without her father standing awkwardly around. “He knew a judge and made some calls, and we got her emancipated, because she had been living on her own for quite a while. She just needed to file and get a judge to agree to it, so then we could just work, and we didn’t have to give her special treatment […] She was the most mature 17-year-old I’ve ever met,” he said.
