A film adaptation of the novel was originally planned to be directed by [[Mike Nichols]] from a script by [[Harold Pinter]]. [[Meryl Streep]]’s then-agent, [[Sam Cohn]], and the director sold her on the plum role of Miss Kenton. Both Meryl and [[Jeremy Irons]] read for Nichols, but the filmmaker opted not to cast them in roles later filled by Emma Thompson (ten years Meryl’s junior) and Anthony Hopkins (twenty years Emma’s senior). Cohn, who was also Nichols’s agent, didn’t make it clear to Meryl that she was no longer a candidate for Miss Kenton, she only learned later, after reading about Thompson’s casting. Shortly thereafter Streep made headlines after she fired her long time, east coast agent, signing with rival agent [[Bryan Lourd]] at the powerful [[Creative Artists Agency]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Carlson |first=Erin |title=Queen Meryl: The Iconic Roles, Heroic Deeds, and Legendary Life of Meryl Streep |date=September 24, 2019 |publisher=Hachette Books |year=2019 |isbn=9780316485289 |location=New York, NY |publication-date=September 24, 2019 |pages=259-260 |language=English}}</ref> Some of Pinter's script was used in the film, but, while Pinter was paid for his work, he asked to have his name removed from the credits, in keeping with his contract.{{efn|group=notes|name=Gale|

A film adaptation of the novel was originally planned to be directed by [[Mike Nichols]] from a script by [[Harold Pinter]]. Some of Pinter's script was used in the film, but, while Pinter was paid for his work, he asked to have his name removed from the credits, in keeping with his contract.{{efn|group=notes|name=Gale|

"In November 1994, Pinter wrote, "I've just heard that they are bringing another writer into the "''[[Lolita (1997 film)|Lolita]]''" film. It doesn't surprise me.' ... Pinter's contract contained a clause to the effect that the film company could bring in another writer, but that in such a case he could withdraw his name (which is exactly the case with <nowiki>[</nowiki>the film<nowiki>]</nowiki> ''The Remains of the Day''—he had insisted on this clause since the bad experience with revisions made to his ''[[The Handmaid's Tale (film)|Handmaid's Tale]]'' script); he has never been given any reason as to why another writer was brought in" (Gale 352).

}} Christopher C. Hudgins observes:『During our 1994 interview, Pinter told [Steven H.] Gale and me that he had learned his lesson after the revisions imposed on his script for ''[[The Handmaid's Tale (film)|The Handmaid's Tale]]'', which he has decided not to publish. When his script for ''The Remains of the Day'' was radically revised by the [[James Ivory]]–[[Ismail Merchant]] partnership, he refused to allow his name to be listed in the credits』(125).{{efn|group=notes|name=Hudgins|
