The Ides of March [2011]: George Clooney’s and Grant Heslov’s commentary
We’ve got the ‘In Cold Blood’ shot here. That sort of happened just because we were shooting and had to. It’s one of those things where Phedon’s, “It’s quite nice. Look, he’s like ‘In Cold Blood.’ It’s once we get into the side shots when it really plays well too. It’s where you get to see… Like, the shot even goes soft a little bit here towards the end and we just liked him. He [Gosling] was so good in it. It was better to keep the performance than worry about the shot. Right in here it starts to get you. This one of those where we’re all standing outside in the pouring rain. That was a tough night.
This movie is great.
