The movie is directed by John Madden (Shakespeare in Love) who has worked with Newman on his last movie The Debt, which will be released in the US later this summer. The Best Exotic Marigold is based on the book These Foolish Things by Deborah Moggach and adapted for the screen by Ol Parker (Imagine Me & You).
