TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Vanessa Redgrave and Joely Richardson play the older and younger versions of Queen Elizabeth, respectively. In real life, they are mother and daughter.

Roland Emmerich self-financed the entire movie. The past financial earnings of his previous movies allowed him the money and total control of this movie without studio interference.

Sir Derek Jacobi (Prologue) and Mark Rylance (John Condell) are supporters of the Oxfordian theory (on which this movie's plot is based) in real life.

When a reporter on National Public Radio pointed out to screenwriter John Orloff that this movie is full of historical inaccuracies (for instance, the playwright Christopher Marlowe, who appears as a character in this movie, actually was dead by the time these events supposedly "took place"), he responded that he wrote these inaccuracies into the screenplay deliberately as an homage to the way that Shakespeare himself took dramatic liberties in his history plays.

John Orloff wrote the script back in 1998, but the project never took off at that time because of the release of the other Shakespeare-related movie, Shakespeare in Love (1998). The project was then restarted back in 2005, when Roland Emmerich saw the script, but it only got the go ahead in early 2010 after additional research and revision.

Popular Dialogues

"Anne De Vere: You, your friends, your blasphemous theater have brought nothing but ruin and dishonor to this family. Ben Jonson: Ruin? Dishonor? My lady, you, your family, even I, even Queen Elizabeth herself will be remembered solely because we had the honor to live whilst your husband put ink to paper."

"Ben Jonson: Politics? My play has nothing to do with politics. I-i-i-it's just a simple comedy. Earl of Oxford: It showed your betters as fools who'd go through life barely managing to get food from plate to mouth were it not for the cleverness of their servants. All art is political, Jonson, otherwise it would just be decoration. And all artists have something to say, otherwise they'd make shoes. And you are not a cobbler, are you Jonson."
