Development: Director Steve McQueen worked with actor Michael Fassbender on the 2008 film Hunger, and chose him again to play the lead role in Shame. Actors Carey Mulligan and James Badge Dale joined the cast in December 2010 to play the little sister and boss, respectively, of Fassbender's character.Screenwriter Abi Morgan was chosen to produce the script, making it one of two films she is currently working on with Film4 (the other being The Iron Lady)

Filming: Production was scheduled to begin on location in New York in January 2011,though Fassbender later commented in an interview that he just began shooting his scenes in early March. Filming ended late May for re-shoots, and post-production began.
