Chalamet previously told Deadline on the red carpet of the film’s Los Angeles premiere that he worked with Norton on their portraits: “We were like a threat to Jim because we were always trying to slip things in and honor these incredible artists. My favorite thing about Edward in the production of this film and also after this one, is that he really wanted to honor the spirit of Bob – who is very much alive – and of Pete Seeger through this press, and not not compromise the reason why we’re ultimately here, the kind of pure values ​​that you kind of have to embrace when you release a film. But I think Edward was always very lucid about it.
