Benioff completed the book The 25th Hour while studying at the University of California Irvine, and it was published in 2001. Six months before the book's publication a preliminary trade copy was circulated which Tobey Maguire read, and he was interested in playing the role of Monty Brogan. He acquired the option for a potential film project and asked Benioff to adapt it into a screenplay. However, after the script was written, Maguire became pre-occupied with the Spider-Man film and had to abandon the plan, although he would later act as a producer on the film that was made. Spike Lee then expressed an interest in directing the film. Spike Lee was interested in the long monologue that Benioff called the "fuck monologue" whereby Monty ranted against the five boroughs of New York; Benioff had considered leaving it out as he thought it might not be dramatic, and Lee persuaded Benioff to keep it in. Disney picked up the film rights and wanted the monologue cut, but Lee filmed the scene nonetheless.

A very dark, sad and depressing drama. There were few good moments in the still green Prieto’s cinematography, but that wasn’t enough for me. I didn’t like the film. Translated to English
Edward Norton was created for the role of Monty and looking at him, the film "American History X" very quickly flashes through your head, I’m already silent about the references to this film and the incredible monologue in the toilet. Crime films can be like "The 25th Hour", very interesting and intriguing. Translated to English
