Beck elaborated on casting Grant: "When we had the script in hand, it was a huge question: Who can perform what ostensibly feels like a stage play? It has to be somebody that opens the door and you don't immediately feel like there's red flags shooting up all across the board. If so, then Paxton and Barnes don't feel intelligent. And that's the whole backbone of this movie, that they are incredibly intelligent, and smart in all their choices."
Woods expressed their unique experience watching movies together: "Every time we see a movie together, the credits roll and then we turn to each other, like, Oh, what'd you think? And Cloud Atlas is an insane, ambitious, beautiful, crazy movie. And it's like, what do you even say about Cloud Atlas when the credits roll? We were just kind of sitting in silence, stunned, like, What do we talk about?"
