According to David Thewlis, the only serious improvisation filmed was the scene of Johnny meeting and antagonizing the poster man.

To prepare for the role of Johnny, David Thewlis read Voltaire's Candide, the teachings of Buddha and James Gleick's Chaos, and the holy books the Bible and the Qur'an.

The script was largely created by improvisation during 11 weeks of rehearsal before shooting. The script was only 25 pages long.
