=== Direction and screenplay ===
In 1990, Carolco Pictures, founded by Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna, paid $1 million$1 million in 1990 is equal to approximately $2.25-2.3 million today. (source) to the Nabokov estate for the rights needed for the film. Adrian Lyne, best known for his erotic thrillers, was hired to direct. Stephen Schiff, a writer for magazines such as Vanity Fair and the New Yorker, was hired to write the screenplay after the producers rejected drafts from several more famous screenwriters: James Dearden, who had attempted to set the film in the '90s rather than in the 1940s; Harold Pinter, whose draft had been too frigid, offering no sympathy for Humbert; and David Mamet, whose draft was simply less than sufficient.
Lyne insisted that his film not be a remake of the previous adaptation—directed by Stanley Kubrick in the '60s, which many people on set looked upon as "what not to do"—but an entirely new approach on what he views as a brilliantly complex novel.
