It was Michael Winner who persuaded Oliver Reed to audition for this movie. While working on their last collaboration, Parting Shots (1998), Reed complained, "I can't believe it, Ridley Scott wants me to go and read for him. But I'm a star." Winner replied, "Oliver, don't fuck with me. You're not a fucking star. You're out of work, and you're not old enough to retire, so you need a third act to your career. Obviously, they think if you're working with me, you can't be as drunk as people think you are. So go to Ridley and read. End of story, Oliver, and if he wants you to read twice, read twice."
