Are either of you going to make it to Locarno?

I remember walking away thinking, ‘these guys are wonderful’. They were very elegant and had a swag to them that I appreciated.
Alongside John David, the film also has Alicia Vikander, Boyd Holbrook, Vicky Kripes – how did you get everyone involved?It was a dream, yes. In film you always think about the ideal players for your roles, and I was lucky that these actors responded to the material. This was my ideal cast.You have these films from between the two world wars, spy stories, where a single person can change the outcome of war.

Beckett has to push himself. He’s an underachiever but he has so much more to offer. He’s ok with that. When he’s dealing with injuries, he has a central focus on survival. It’s human nature, we can relate to it, when we’re put into a corner… an injured animal is a more dangerous animal.When you have a great cast, a lot of the time you don’t have to think about making it work, you listen to the talent you’re surrounded by and react.
