Talking about his inspiration for the action-comedy, Ritchie said, "We had the idea to do a spy film about eight months prior to the start of production. In preparation, we watched every action and spy film we could get our hands on. I didn’t like our initial premise, so I started again. After I wrote a new scene, which now opens our story, I knew what the tone of the movie would be, and I liked it.”
“We wanted to do something different with the genre,” said producer & co-screenwriter Ivan Atkinson. “Most spy films fall into one or two categories: they’re either a spoof or they take themselves very seriously. We wanted to find a middle ground.” he added
