Not just on camera, but Hopkins and Gosling had a heated moment interacting about the film, and the former couldn’t hold the conversation any longer. It has been 16 years since they last worked.

Veteran actors are most often inclined to enlighten their young co-stars, but what happens when they get annoyed when someone tries to overstep?
Hopkins recalled his irritating conversation with Ryan Gosling and his eagerness to explore the film’s ending to better channel his character.
“He wanted to become involved in the analysis of the plot. I was concerned we were going to talk it into oblivion. I get so bored: ‘For God’s sake, shoot it!’
When director Gregory Hoblit came up with an alternate ending, Hopkins said –
“I apologized to him at the reshoot. I said I misunderstood this, and I could see now what he was fighting for.”
