"Like many actors, I penciled in notes throughout my copy of the script for Gods and Monsters. While filming, I occasionally asked writer/director Bill Condon for background details that were not in the script. I also jotted down ideas for how to portray James Whale in certain scenes. People interested in the process of filmmaking may find it interesting to see these raw notes in the context of the actual script, which includes some scenes that didn't make it into the final film." — Ian McKellen, June 2007.
