So I went to a lot of places in Asia. People have shot in Thailand before and it seemed like an easy fit but I was like ‘No!’ so we kept going around. And then I land in Vietnam, looked at these landscapes and just fell in love.”
The director also said Vietnam has presented the “perfect aesthetic” for his movie.
Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson, two leading role of the movie, gave high compliments and recommendation to travel to Vietnam.
