Gore Vidal was paid $200,000 to write the screenplay for Caligula; ultimately, the film credited no official screenwriter, only that it was "adapted from a screenplay" by Vidal.
Tinto Brass served as the film's director, but disowned the film in post-production, and was credited only for "principal photography".
Helen Mirren was cast as Caesonia, wife of Caligula. Mirren described the film as an "irresistible mix of art and genitals".
