Mov version: First of all, can you talk about your first reaction to the David Cope scenario and an interesting marriage dynamic opportunity between George and Catherine?
Kate Blanchett: Yes, well, I have already agreed to do this before I read the text program, because it is clear that when you know that David Cob is writing and we died Stephen Soderberg, you know it will be a great adventure. So, when Stephen said he wanted Michael (Fasnender) to play George, she went, “Oh, this is perfect.” But I was surprised by their relationship, but also how the absolute basis for their relationship is that they will die for each other. I find it deeply romantic, especially after they were for a long time. It is clear that they decided not to have children and devoted to their work. But the only thing they repeat more is each other. So, I think there was an intense romantic thing in the heart of this movie, which was not necessarily a texture in the films made by Stephen.

MF: NAOMIE, can you talk about your approach to playing Zoe, and since it is a processor of a group of spies, can she really trust anything they say, and how do you move?
Naomi Harris: Well, I think it should be two steps in front of them. I mean, it is very intuitive, very smart and smart, as well as being a little ethical and slightly traditional in its methods. She mainly created her own way of working in that environment where the rules of ethics do not concern. All that matters is the results. Are spies mentally healthy and do they stay in the task? This is all for her.

(From L to PBUH) Tom Burke in the role of Freddy Smalls and Michael Vaslender in the role of George Woodhouse in director Stephen Soderg, “Black” Bag “Black”, a version that includes.
MF: Tom, can you talk about how Freddy’s personal life affects his career?
Tuberculosis: Yes, I mean, he referred to this in dialogue and everything that happens, I assume too. You feel that you are among the incredibly cautious and focused skill for his professional life, and that there is a completely improvised element in his life that includes drinking, drugs and a lot. It is very interesting to play because it seems to be a paradox, but it is also logical that someone like this may be attracted to a high -risk profession. It is a kind of absorbing that need or that leadership.

MF: Tom, as an actor, how does it seem to be on the Stephen Soderg group? What would he like to work with as a director?
Tuberculosis: He has an amazing understanding of how to improve what his representatives bring to every scene and not the least of energy and time. I don’t know if you have ever seen it dealt with severely or felt dealing with intense.

MF: Cate, I worked with Steven Soderbergh before, how was this experience similar or different from the last time you worked together?
CB: Well, we have worked together for years on a movie entitled “The Good German”, which I think about three and a half people. But what Stephen said is one movie that was completely happy with it, and it was an interesting experience for me. Therefore, it was just a deepening of that experience. It is very economical and very comfortable while giving people to do what they do. So, it is very respectful for every section and gratitude for every section that works to make the film great. What has no truck has lazy people and not ready. So, it makes you really want to give your best. You want to be ready. If I tell him, “I need to go again,” he will go, “don’t worry about it, I will only use these four tires,” because he is editing in his head. I mean, it is like a larger heart machine. As you know, he really cares about the actors who works with him and every member of the crew. So, before I work with him, I don’t think I can even imagine that these two parts of the movie artist can coexist beautifully as they do in it.

MF: Finally, Naomi, what surprised you by working with Stephen Soderberg?
NH: I think one of the horrific things for me about working with Stephen was the amount of freedom it provides to the actors. It really throws good and then trusts you completely in making the characters you want. I had no freedom. Therefore, at first, I was really intimidated. But then, it is a free and enabled experience where you love it completely, this person believes a lot so that I can take any option I want. So, I learned a lot of work with him.
