Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cillian Murphy performed both roles on the same shooting days, with costume changes taking up to 90 minutes. He reportedly kept Emma's voice in his head between takes.
The film was shot in 2008 but shelved until 2010, making it a fascinating time capsule: Elliot Page's first post-Juno role, and a pre-Peak TV Cillian Murphy before he became Tommy Shelby.
