Audiences 'are going to recognize elements of these characters in their own life because it encompasses adventure, sorrow, joy, aspiration,' Cranston said in a statement to USA TODAY, praising screenwriter Steven Rogers' 'beautiful' script and the 'imaginative creative mind' of director Jon S. Baird. 'I couldn't be happier. I'm very proud of this movie.'
For Baird, who last directed 'Tetris' in 2023, 'this film restored my faith in the creative process,' he wrote in his own statement. 'This movie, at its core, is about the importance of family. We were so lucky we found such a supportive group to help us achieve even a little bit of hope in the darkest of times.'
