When producers and directors get casting wrong, the evidence is there for all to see, and historically, they know it too. But when they get it right, as the Coen Brothers did with the multi-Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men back in 2007, then the magical results are also there for all to see. Javier and Tommy were cast fairly early on. We asked him to do it because he’s so fucking old!” Look, if you get the chance to cast Javier Bardem in a movie, even if it is a stretch, which I don’t think it was in this movie, you should do it.
