Ridley Scott wanted this movie to have an original screenplay because he felt that "it was far easier to design a story to fit the medium of cinema than bend the medium for an established story". By chance, he discovered several books written by William Hjortsberg, and found that the writer had already written several scripts for some unmade lower-budgeted movies. Scott asked him if he was interested in writing a fairy tale. Fortunately, he was already writing some, and agreed.
