The script was primarily by Peter Sellars and Tom Luddy, and was originally assigned to Norman Mailer.  It is not a typical cinematic adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear", although some lines from the play are used in the film.  Only three characters – Lear, Cordelia and Edgar – are common to both, and only Act I, scene 1 is given a conventional cinematic treatment in that two or three people actually engage in relatively meaningful dialogue.
