Shailene was actually living in Paris, at the time, and we had this long Skype and talked about it. There were a lot of different actresses that did auditions and we did screen tests with a lot of different people. I was like, “Oh, this is great.” And then, for Daphne, it was really hard. It reminded me of that and my relationship with him. It felt like my first conversation with Anton. We were just like, “Oh, my god, we have to create together and get in the mud.” We had such a long, deep, interesting, emotional conversation, the first time we got together, and I just really wanted to work with him. And then, I’d been a huge fan of Sebastian’s and thought he was a chameleon, and just loved him in stuff that I’d seen him in and really wanted to work with him, so we met and it was love at first sight, for both of us. I thought he was really special and great, and wanted to do a movie with him, so I was like, “Oh, this is the perfect opportunity to put him in something where he can really thrive and do what he does best,” which is really doing something really subtle and nuanced. What led you to, to Jamie Dornan and Sebastian Stan? Why did you want them for these characters?ĭOREMUS: Jamie and I did this little Hugo Boss short film/fashion/perfume ad thing, a couple of years ago, and hit it off. When you have a character at the center of this, like Daphne, and you have someone like Shailene Woodley, do you think about the character, at the same time tat you think about an actor to do it? How do you do that, so that the character is so well suited to the actor that you end up casting? Making the movie was a cathartic experience in trying to understand how to go on that journey, myself. So, that is where it all started, knowing that I wanted to get there, but not understanding how to get there. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to make and what I wanted to say, and really, at the end of the day, I realized that, before I could find something new, I really had to look at myself and be okay with myself, and find some peace and find some harmony in my life. I had just gotten out of a long term relationship and was really down. How did this particular film start? Did it start with a type of thing you wanted to explore, or did it start with a specific character? Does it work like that, at all, for you?ĭOREMUS: That’s an interesting question.
