Norton added, “There was a lot of pre-existing comfort and trust,” further sharing that they had both worked together before and had a good idea of what the other actor was like on set. “If it wasn’t shot in sequence, it would never have had this arc. We would have been more careful. That had a very profound impact on how the story progressed toward the ending,” he also shared about the making of the film.Wilde added that she felt the same way, admitting, “I was both exhilarated and devastated by this experience because I didn’t know when I would have another experience like this. There was a group of people who were so in sync. I definitely had this feeling that if I didn’t do anything else, I would be fine.”
