Speaking about the film in September, Seydoux told The Wrap that she worried she wouldn’t get the role after struggling to get on a call with the director. She said, “I was like, she will never hire me for this movie because I’m always postponing the call.” However, she also said that the call ended up being “very relaxed,” and added that she was “surprised because sometimes directors can be nervous because your movie is a baby that you cherish.”
