"""The opening of the movie takes place at the courthouse where the case against DeLorean is about to begin,"" says Lindenlaub. ""We shot in a courthouse building in San Juan that had great hallways. We had to power the whole building with our generators after the hurricane. The opening shot starts out of focus on the 40mm anamorphic, from way down the hallway, and then the camera moves very slowly towards the entrance. We shot at 48 frames so the editor could ramp up later. We find Corey Stoll and Jason Sudeikis as they approach us; they come into focus as they come closer, and then we pull back with them. It worked really well. It gives you a feeling of the characters' stress, and it shows you that it's not clear how Hoffman is going to react in the court proceedings."""
