What's left behind the scenes

Ian McKellen wrote the film's screenplay while on tour with a play in which he played Richard III. Initially, he thought a television film would be made from his screenplay, but soon realized that the production would require a larger budget. While on tour, McKellen began searching among his acquaintances for candidates for roles in the future film. Among them were Patrick Stewart, Danny DeVito, and Meryl Streep, who, however, ultimately did not participate in the film.
Director Alex Cox was involved with the project for a time, but Richard Loncraine ultimately took over the direction.
McKellen greatly enjoyed working with Robert Downey Jr. in "Royal Embrace" (1995), and therefore offered him the role of Lord Rivers. But since the role was too small for Downey, McKellen expected him to refuse. However, to McKellen's surprise, Downey immediately agreed and even specifically cleared his work schedule for the filming of this movie.
The film used only half of the text from Shakespeare's play. Some details were changed. For example, in the play, Lord Rivers is killed much later than in the film.
