Withers recounted a moment where Monre and him were both moved to tears during a rehearsel, which sparked an instant, protective bond on the film sets. The I Know What You Did Last Summer actor stated:
"One of the first rehearsals, we were both sitting there crying with each other as we were doing some exercises. Immediately I got this feeling of wanting to protect her through the process of making this movie, and how best can I support her through this?"He further added:
"Because we're all carrying our own weight, our own grief, our own loss as human beings when we're telling these stories. It felt like she felt the same way, and I think we carried that through each scene."Hoover confirmed that the Reminders of Him film adaptation is faithful to the book's story, translating the pain, hope, and forgiveness to the screen. He stated:
"The pain, the hope, the forgiveness — it’s all there, but seeing it unfold onscreen makes it feel even more powerful," she said.
