Production

In May 2000, it was reported that Michael Zaidan, a recent graduate of the American Film Institute, secured a low-six-figure deal to write The Extremists, an action project with Christian Duguay attached to helm and Moshe Diamant to produce.

Budgeted at $40 million, the film was financed via the German film fund ApolloMedia, Canadian tax shelter monies, and foreign presales. Producers were Moshe Diamant's Signature Entertainment and Jan Fantl's Quality International. Mark Damon's MDP Worldwide handled some of the film's presales. It was originally titled The Extremists.

In October 2001, it was reported that Paramount Pictures had acquired distribution rights.
