   After poor test screenings, New Line brought in John Herzfeld, director of 15 Minutes (2001), to shoot additional scenes — particularly the ending and the cemetery finale — to fix the film. Dialogue scenes were also cut and some scenes shortened to pick up the pace, which caused the film to miss several release dates. Herzfeld's regular composer, J. Peter Robinson, also worked on new music to liven things up. New Line was additionally forced to change the title from El Diablo because of a lawsuit filed by game developer Blizzard. Among the potential titles were Sınırları Zorlayın, Diablo (without the El in front), Sean Vetter, Vetter and This Man's Dominion. A Man Apart was ultimately chosen because the studio felt it suited the film's theme.

   Knockaround Guys (2001) (also from New Line Cinema) and A Man Apart were shelved for a year following the success of Vin Diesel's earlier films The Fast and the Furious (2001) and xXx (2002). New Line Cinema felt both films would be more financially successful with a bigger action star attached.

   Shortly before filming began, writers Christian Gudegast and Paul T. Scheuring secured a seven-figure deal with New Line Cinema for two screenplays, one of which was to be a sequel to this film. After the film's delayed release and critical failure at the box office, the sequel plans were cancelled and nothing from the deal was ever produced at New Line. The other screenplay, Den of Thieves (2018), was eventually produced by STX Films, with Gudegast also directing.
