role under her belt, Bening continues to demonstrate an ever-expanding range and an apparently bottomless depth of skill.: Scott Burns, the writer/director, sent it to me and I thought it was very strong. So, I met with him and just signed up. I had a very surface knowledge of what had happened when this report had come out. But I wasn’t that aware of it either. I found it really shocking and really important.
DEADLINE: The film is dense with facts about the CIA interrogation program and also their attempted cover-up. How did everyone get around making those facts palatable?: We rehearsed together and read through scenes. In those sessions we were asking questions and trying to penetrate more deeply into it, especially if I didn’t understand something or somebody else didn’t. Scott is such a good writer and having him also direct and be there to continue to work is really a great asset.
One of the most amazing pieces of casting is Douglas Hodge, who plays [contractor and developer of the enhanced interrogation technique], Jim Mitchell. Douglas is this English actor who is quite a star on the stage. He’s famous for having played in. But when I saw the movie, I didn’t even know that was him. He so completely disappeared into it, and that’s Scott making a choice that was so imaginative and brave, and that goes for each person.
