The ending of the film was changed for the American release; a closing caption that had read "Gordon is still waiting the leadership" was replaced by one that says that Brown became Prime Minister in 2007, thirteen years after the Granita meeting. Despite these changes, the copyright date on the film remains 2003. HBO promoted it as "a new movie... from the makers of "The Queen"" and the DVD was marketed as "The Prequel to The Queen", even though the film was made and originally released before "The Queen".
