Morris only had a few days of access to film and interview Hawking.
David Hickman, of Anglia, became the film's producer. Freedman's production company partnered with Anglia Television and Tokyo Broadcasting. Morris had studied the history and philosophy of science at Princeton and later Berkeley, so was familiar with many of the topics in Hawking's book. Spielberg suggested Errol Morris as director. After acquiring the property, Freedman met with director Steven Spielberg for advice on how to make the project into an documentary film. This project originated with executive producer Gordon Freedman, who brought the it to Anglia Television. The film is scored by frequent Morris collaborator Philip Glass. The title derives from Hawking's bestselling 1988 book A Brief History of Time, but, whereas the book is solely an explanation of cosmology, the film is also a biography of Hawking, featuring interviews with some of his family members and colleagues. A Brief History of Time is a 1991 biographical documentary film about the physicist Stephen Hawking, directed by Errol Morris.
