Yeah very much, I mean because when you deal with the concept of magic in a film you don’t want to show just tricks because with camera trickery, CG and everything we all know that those things are easy to do so to me to get across the sense of magic and illusions being performed it was about letting the narrative be the trick, letting the narrative be the illusion. And so the narrative itself, the story itself is structured according to the principles of how a magic trick is structured. Its three act structure and its use of miss direction and concepts like that, that’s how the story works.

What I found in Scarlett is somebody who is extraordinarily beautiful and glamorous unquestionably but she also as well as having this great screen presence she has a sort of maturity beyond her years, perhaps because she started very young as an actress I don’t know but that maturity comes across so strongly in her charactizations. Really for this film that meant is you’re taking a character who could be so much less and she’s achieving with it this presence on screen that lets you know that even know she in a sense is used by both characters and pauses between them actually she’s always in control. She actually knows more about why these guys are doing what they’re doing then they do themselves and that comes from that presence she has. That maturity also makes her great fun to work with, she’s just a real professional and a pleasure to be around.
