Souza expressed, "At a certain point, it was conveyed to me that there was going to be some form of settlement and that Matt Hutchins was going to be involved as a producer. This is what he wanted. I knew that the movie being finished would financially benefit Halyna's family, which is very important to me."
Regarding personal responsibility, Souza stated, "People seeing her last work matters. If it was me that had gotten killed instead of her - as it should have been - she would do the same thing."
Explaining the effects of Hutchins's death on the film, Souza shared, "There are parts of Hutchins's work that will not be seen by the public, even when the movie does come out. Actor Jensen Ackles, who was originally in the project, chose not to return and was replaced by Josh Hopkins, so any of Hutchins's work with Ackles is gone."
On moving forward, Souza noted the emotional weight, saying, "Not just that, but also a few things leading up to it. I'm not going back to that."
