The motion picture is sometimes referred to as "The Boorman Family Project" since most members of the Boorman family starred in the picture. Igraine (Arthur's mother), the Lady of the Lake, and Mordred as a boy were played by Boorman's children.
The soundtrack is by Trevor Jones, with additional music drawn from the works of Orff and Wagner.
