==Production==
[[Paul Zbyszewski]]'s original screenplay for ''After the Sunset'' was discovered by producers [[Beau Flynn]] and [[Tripp Vinson]], both known for producing movies such as ''[[Tigerland]]'' (2000) and ''[[Requiem for a Dream]]'' (2000). The script was purchased by [[New Line Cinema]], and the producers hired [[Australia]]n screenwriter Craig Rosenberg to create a re-write. Both the studio and the producers agreed that their first choice for the role of master thief Max Burdett was Pierce Brosnan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://login.vnuemedia.com/hr/login/login_subscribe.jsp?id=nXH33mfDnH8ZLlwjPYB5kVaLXU4gP%2Ffw%2FPS0Mn5MQbT2YepvVlqEtJFtwQv8ODWsp5O2v%2Fyekrfl%0AbJWZHjVU6gEtS0OBclVfr%2FWEZKcuF%2FAR0ApPmWTMyyn0repaDJ6Z9oAwoWUi0vZ2Ew%2Bt2JmfmTXM%0A0j96PYFHN9fHOSzrUYwQov6BKIBCkk7XIAV7xQHzlOosCUGoiREpGZmjnO2J%2ByfRiNU0e%2F9JdmY1%0A3gLx58cOJiItMiJ9wJQbMTkbUuZ5hzcomTGhGO0%3D|title=NL catches Brosnan for 'Sunset' sail|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|access-date=May 6, 2007|date=March 26, 2003|url-access=subscription}}{{Dead link|date=September 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Salma Hayek, [[Academy Awards|Oscar]]-nominated for her role in ''[[Frida]]'' (2002), was the next actor to join the cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=505 |title=Salma Hayek Sits in ''Sunset'' with Pierce Brosnan |website=ComingSoon.net |publisher=[[CraveOnline]] |access-date=May 6, 2007 |date=July 3, 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060813185430/http://comingsoon.net/news.php?id=505 |archive-date=August 13, 2006 }}</ref>
