Trivia
Burt Reynolds reportedly had significant difficulty learning his lines (especially the Shakespeare) throughout shooting. A number of the scenes from 'King Lear' needed idiot boards in the wings, though despite this, Reynolds was less than accurate much of the time. Imelda Staunton on more than one occasion made her frustration with this quite vocally known, and some of the lines used in the film differ quite greatly from the original play-scripts.

In a radio interview broadcast 20th May 2013 on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdon, Samantha Bond described some of the behind-the-screens tensions during the making of this film. She stated that Burt Reynolds' 'high maintenance' behavior on set bore some resemblance to the actions of his character. This behaviour, Bond stated, included locking himself in his trailer and having to be coaxed out by the director or producer, not making much of an effort to mix with or get to know many of the rest of the cast (Samantha Bond excepted) and not learning his lines.
