When you back a picture that doesn’t have a traditional narrative, how hard is it to get a Brad Pitt and Sean Penn to surround Jessica Chastain and the rest of the cast?
POHLAD: They definitely have a high degree of respect for Terry. Brad and Dede Gardner were involved as producers long before Brad was going to act in it. He and Terry had gotten to know each other. I worked with Sean on Into the Wild and he had worked on The Thin Red Line. There were mutual friendships and it all just worked out. We didn’t go out looking to land Brad Pitt, or the biggest star in the world. We were trying to find the right person for it and when a number of things happened that changed things, Brad was finally like, Oh well, how about me? It wasn’t his idea but we all just kind of looked over and said, well, why aren’t we talking about this?
