The actress started filming four months after giving birth. Cinematographer Roger Deakins worked on such famous projects as: "1984" with John Hjort, "Sid and Nancy", "Barton Fink" by the Coen brothers, "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Big Lebowski", "Coordinates Skyfall" and others. Before that, he worked with Denis Villeneuve on the crime drama "Prisoners", and the joint film "Blade Runner 2" is planned for the future. Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford will take part in the filming of the sequel. Ridley Scott will act as a producer and screenwriter. It is interesting that the company wanted to see an actor in the main role, and not an actress. But the director and screenwriter defended their position. The film was presented in the official competition of the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Palme d'Or. It has already become known that "Sicario" will receive a sequel. Sheridan and Villeneuve will continue to lead the process.
