In a statement, Del Toro said, “The collaboration was a lot of fun.” Del Toro added, “Once we knew where we needed the story to land, then the question becomes, ‘How do we get there? How do we make it interesting?’ We did research and tried to make it as real as possible. We talked about movies and storytelling, with certain films as references. One that comes to mind is In Cold Blood.”
Timberlake said, “I wanted to get to the end as quickly as possible — just like a good book or suspenseful novel.” he added, “I liked the idea of playing a character that has to constantly react to the unpredictability of what’s thrown in his direction.”
