Part of our response to the novel in the first place had to do, specifically, with what you’re asking about: the idea of the Gray Man. A lot of the time, the lead spy in the genre will have a flamboyant attitude, a bravado and a recklessness, and there’ll be a charming-everybody-in-the-room kind of idea, and a romantic idea, etc. This character didn’t. This guy was built as the spy’s spy. This guy was somebody who wanted to disappear, to live in the shadows, to not be seen.
As far as Ryan, again, we really wanted to come up with this new version, in the manner we were speaking about earlier, of this controlled, understated, disciplined, focused character who doesn’t want to show you—or anyone—much. We’ve been huge fans of Ryan Gosling’s for years, and he’s just a master of minimalism. He can convey a whole fascinating depth of emotion, intelligence and charisma while doing very little as an actor.
It can also travel through and under objects in ways that other cameras can’t, but still get you to the information that you want the audience to see very quickly. So we loved it. We tested it a number of times, decided on a few rules of how we were going to use it in the movie, and it really helped inform the chaos of the film.
It just requires so many people to achieve that, so much real estate, so many vehicles. Just with that tram, for example, we were shooting on Prague’s actual city tram on the city streets, and we built a bus that would look exactly like the tram but ran on wheels, because sometimes we needed the tram to move faster or we needed to work on certain streets that, because of restrictions, didn’t have tracks, or because it was safer, depending on what we were doing.
