Before Sunrise
Linklater, Hawke and Delpy began developing a larger budget sequel after the release of "Before Sunrise", but failed to secure funding. After a period of independent work, notably inspired by Hawke's divorce from actress Uma Thurman, the writers came together in 2003 and incorporated elements of their screenplays, as well as scenes written during development of "Before Sunrise", to create the film's screenplay. Principal photography took place entirely in Paris, and the film is considered to take place in real time. Delpy also contributed original music to the film's soundtrack.
