The original version of this film was shot in 2008. As the producers sought further financing to finance the film, the original material was lost by a post-production house. Ninety percent of the film had to be re-planned, re-cast, and re-shot in order for it to be released.
The producers got permission to shoot a real bullfight using the bullfighters as photo doubles for the actors. The scenes were then studied and shown to the actors who had to re-create the bullfighter's movement to match the shots.
Tony Dalton underwent a rigorous bullfighting training for the film. He fought several bulls but did not harm any of them.
