Toni Colette on her filming experience in Savannah
Toni Colette, who stars as prosecutor Faith Killebrew, spoke with Fox5 about her experience working for this film in Savannah. She said,
I got there in July, and it was an overwhelming element to have to deal with. But the history of Savannah is so prevalent and so romanticized … to be able to just walk the streets and do those tours and get some insight into the history, and also Clint’s made movies there before. So, you feel like you're stepping into a movie … into a movie, you know?
