Production
editThe play Huge was a hit at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and it took Miller fifteen years to get the film adaptation made.[3] While the play was co-written with Jez Butterworth and Simon Godley, Butterworth was committed to working on Fair Game and was unable to take part in writing the film adaptation.[2]
Thandiwe Newton's role was written for her but she had reservations so Miller worked with script editor Jay Basu to rewrite and incorporate Newton's suggestions.[1]
