Excerpt of Film Force interview with Eric Bana:
Q: Orlando Bloom puts in a wonderful performance, too.
Bana: Orlando I love to death. We've worked together before. And when he was cast has my younger brother it was just a great fit, and I hope that shows in the film. I love working with Orlando. We very quickly developed an older-brother-younger-brother kind of relationship and it's not just because of having played his older brother, but I still feel very protective of him; always following what he's doing and keep in regular contact. He's someone who's very close to me.
Q: Has anyone mentioned that you and Orlando really sort of have a resemblance?
Bana: My wife got a shock! The fist day she came into my trailer when Orlando and I were both made up, she just laughed her head off. And she just said, "This is so perfect!" So, I kind of got it. There was a couple times when we were doing the hair and makeup tests where I thought, "This is really good. I can see some resemblance. Lucky for me."
