Sir Ian McKellen cites this movie as his proudest accomplishment because, apart from having played the title character many times on-stage, he organized the funding, executively produced, and co-wrote the screenplay for this movie adaptation.
Sir Ian McKellen enjoyed acting with Robert Downey Jr. in Restoration (1995), and asked him to play the part of Lord Rivers, expecting him to turn the role down as too small. To McKellen's surprise, Downey immediately cleared his diary, and took the part.
Sir Ian McKellen made Queen Elizabeth an American, because this way, she and her family could be seen as social climbers, from commoners to royalties.
It was writer and director Richard Loncraine's idea to make the Duke of Clarence an amateur photographer, symbolizing that he was only recording events without understanding them.
The lyrics to the opening song ("Live With Me and Be My Love") are from a pastoral poem by Christopher Marlowe.
"Richard: Why, I can smile... And murder while I smile!"
"Richard III: Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York."
