As for the Q&A with Hartnett, here’s a snippet:

ComingSoon.net: What was the main appeal about the project or character that made you want to do it finally?

Hartnett: I thought it was a good story, which you rarely find in films. There’s always a gimmick. I think this film is just a solid, dramatic story.

It felt like something that could really happen. [It’s] about real people. It had an element of sensationalism – as all stories must – but it wasn’t unrealistic. I was just charmed by it.
