Development
The story elements and much of the dialogue still remained in the finished film, though Schumacher felt it could be "lighted down". Amado claims he originally had in mind an adaptation.
Filming
Filming started in September 2003, claiming that the film needed a "force" and felt Ling could "advance on it". Amado wanted a design that was not to be in any way connected to the previous films, and instead was to be inspired by the images from the past. He also wanted a "city with personality", with more statues, as well as various amounts of neon. In this film appears Juan José Videgain in a small roll in its beginnings in the cinema.
