In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, God is a bullet maker, revealed, "The last time I did an interview on this thing, I spilled the beans on that. I regretted it. Everyone's like, Why are you saying that? I'm like, I don't know. It caught me on a bad day, but if [McAdams and Gosling] are around, I apologize to you guys. I shouldn't have spilled the beans." 

Moreover, the filmmaker also narrated the complete story from the sets. He said that after having arguments on the first day of shooting, both Gosling and the Mean Girls actress were civil with each other, and the shooting work had turned out to be way smoother than expected.
