Principal photography began on September 12, 2001, in Budapest, Hungary. Taking a cue from Le spie (1965), producer Andrew G. Vajna decided that this movie version should be set in an "exotic location to create a sense of real excitement in the audience". Vajna added: "We haven't seen Eastern Europe used much in action films, especially Hungary. Budapest has been used in movies before, but never as Budapest. It has generally been used as a substitute for Paris or some other European capital. So for the audience, it was an entirely new experience, and it just so happens that Hungary is my home."
