The remake was released to financial success, but mixed reviews, with some critics judging it to be a mawkish adaptation. City of Angels was filmed around California and dedicated to Steel, who died before the premiere. Themes were borrowed from Wenders' work, though the ending was altered, to a more tragic effect. and recruited Silberling and screenwriter Dana Stevens to execute the project. After years of delay, they found support from Warner Bros. When producer Dawn Steel saw potential to pursue more story ideas in Wenders' original concept, she and her husband Charles Roven acquired the rights for an English-language adaptation. With the guidance of a man ( Dennis Franz) who has already made the transition from immortality, the angel falls and discovers the human experience. As with the original, City of Angels tells the story of an angel (Cage) who falls in love with a mortal woman (Ryan), and wishes to become human in order to be with her. Set in Los Angeles, California, the film is a loose remake of Wim Wenders' 1987 film Wings of Desire ( Der Himmel über Berlin), which was set in Berlin.
