“The producers were asking what I could do on my end to shrink [the budget]. Tom [Hayslip, executive producer] then comes into my office and says, ‘Chris is going to shoot this in 55 days.’ That is a lot of money we get back. At that point you feel like I have to deliver above and beyond because he just went and gave up his days. He, more than anyone, knows what he wants to get in every single day and how he wants to get it and he goes from 85 to 55 days.”
While the goal was 55 days, Cillian Murphy revealed (on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast) that the final length of the shoot was 57 days. Thatās still an impressively efficient amount of time for a three-hour epic. Especially considering itās merely two thirds of the shootās planned length! ā Thank you for visiting!
