The director talked about the challenges in casting the movie as another cheerleader film, "Sugar & Spice," was being made.

"The idea was that [Sparky Polastri] was this kind of Bob Fosse wannabe and he was addicted to pills and this completely fraudulent character. I loved that," Reed said. https://www.insider.com/bring-it-on-20th-anniversary-peyton-reed-possible-sequel-2020-8
