Cast Production The Tailor of Panama was shot at the Ardmore Studios in County Wicklow, Ireland, and on location in Panama City, Lake Gatun, and Gamboa, Panama. It was produced by Boorman's Irish production company Merlin Films, with financial support from Columbia Pictures.

Whereas the novel was set in the 1990s, before the American withdrawal from the Panama Canal Zone, the film moves the time period to the 21st century. In the original ending of the film Osnard is shot by Pendel. This was changed to allow Osnard to escape.
