Je me demande s'il fera allusion à l'affaire des gazés du théâtre de Moscou...

A few months into the process he called me from Europe. He said, “…there's a documentary playing on TV, it's about the terrorist takeover of the Moscow theater.” This was a terrible tragedy that occurred a few years back.

Dolph says, “It's a beautifully done documentary. I just saw it, take a look at it. When you’ve seen it, call me.”

After I viewed the piece, we talked. Dolph said, “We've created a good fantasy movie up to this point, but this documentary, this terrible tragedy is the reality of these hostage situations. It shows the very real pain that the victims go through when they're held hostage, the harsh emotions at play as government anti-terrorist teams try to figure out how to rescue them. We see the emotion and the exhaustion that plays on the terrorists as they're trying to make their decisions, the terrible and difficult decisions that the country's leaders have to make to try to end the stalemate, that's all reality. How much of this can you put into our script?”

I replied, “As much as I can.” So we did another pass on the script, to try to make it as real as we could possible make it.
