Big Fish writer John August has written the script, which is said to include many of the musical elements from the original, but is non-linear in its structure – much like Ritchie’s two earliest successes, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch.
Tajā no oriģināla saglabāti vairāki muzikālie priekšnesumi, taču stāstījums nav lineārs, līdzīgi kā Ričija slavenākajās kinolentēs "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" ("Nav dūmu bez stobriem") un "Snatch" ("Ķēriens").
