Maria's Production Designer Guy Hendrix Dyas has high praises of Angelina Jolie.
In an interview with GoldDerby, Guy Hendrix Dyas talks about working with Jolie, saying, "She was so warm, just down to earth and human there".
"There was not a bone of pretention in her body. Highly intelligent, extremely well read on "Maria", to the point where we had at least one interaction where she corrected me on a technicality which I was extremely impressed with when it came to actors involvement in their own research and also her sheer dedication".
"I mean I've already mentioned how Pablo is masterful at think encouraging a sort of an inner strength or sort of boldness in his actors to go a little further than perhaps they would".
"But he and Angie together really made an extremely intelligent dynamic duo. They just kept pushing and pushing".
