Wenders: We more or less worked on it together. The idea was that Sam was going to finish it to the end... We were both always aware of the fact that this movie would undergo changes as it was being shot. And I always hoped that Sam would be with us and he hoped that too. But we had to postpone the shooting several times, and finally we started three months later than we initially wanted. By that time Sam had a commitment for a movie as an actor and he’s now in Country with Jessica Lange. So he's shooting in Iowa and we're having phone conferences in the evening and I tell him what’s happening and I send him stuff, and changes, and he dictates dialogue over the phone, or he did last week. I mean it was also getting so complicated with the structure, to keep it all kind of together, that I asked Kit [Carson] if he would come in and help me.
