I didn't know much about the espionage world and what it took to get behind the enemy lines and to plant your characters, so that was really interesting. The story itself though I learned about, I had a meeting with Steven Knight the writer, years ago when we were shooting 'World War Z' and he began to tell me the story before he has written it and it was based on members of his family" BRAD PITT POSING FOR PHOTOS ON THE RED CARPET (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR, BRAD PITT, SAYING: "My favourite locations actually were things we did on set because it was a throwback to the old forties films where you used to be in a stationary car and you see a real projection and you would sit on a sand dune. You know if we are on a tent or actually in the Sahara. That was the most fun to me to approach this film like the old forties films but using the new technology and that's something Rob had his hands around right from the beginning. So that was good fun for us" ACTRESS MARION COTILLARD POSTING FOR PHOTOS (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTRESS, MARION COTILLARD, SAYING: "It's a very strong character, she's a very strong woman and it's always good to play a strong woman."

DIRECTOR ROBERT ZEMECKIS AND WIFE LESLIE HARTER ZEMECKIS POSING FOR PHOTOS (SOUNDBITE) (English) DIRECTOR, ROBERT ZEMECKIS, SAYING: "It was kind of a universal theme.
