Not only did Roger Donaldson get to work with some of the best talent that Hollywood had to offer, he also had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people along the way. Donaldson said: "I enjoyed making this film on-location in Serbia and Montenegro. Working with an extraordinary crew from all over the world, in incredible places, and with our talented cast, this turned out to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable experiences of my directing career."
