Andy McDonnell and Orlando Bloom step outside of their comfort zones for today's gritty crime film.

Howdy? I'm Jeff Goldsmith and this is the Q&A. My agenda is simple. Each week I plan to bring

you in-depth insights into the creative process of storytelling. And speaking of crimes, we have repeat

offenders, the Nelms Brothers. That's right, the directors of today's film, Esham and Ian, with us today.

They are repeat offenders because they have been in this podcast before. They were podcast

published its Oscar issue. That's right, it's number 51 for us, issue 51, and it's our Oscar
