...Karaoke plays a major part in the film. How did you decide who sings what? Joseph [Gordon-Levitt] and Zooey [Deschanel] had a short list of what they thought their characters would sing. Most of Joseph's were classic-rock songs that were really expensive, but I was ecstatic when we finally got the Clash song "Train in Vain (Stand By Me)" and he sang it so well, just hit it out of the park. With Zooey, I tried to get "These Boots Were Made for Walking," and we couldn't clear that one, but for the right price...

In an interview Tuesday, July 28, with TIME, he said that what mattered was how the program would work, not how involved the government would be.

Iran is locked in a classic power struggle, pitting the house of Khamenei against the house of Khomeini. It has been simmering since Khamenei was appointed Supreme Leader in 1989, but it is only now that Khomeini's heirs have chosen to finally fight back against a complete takeover of the regime by Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards. The Khomeinists were mistakenly convinced that if they could muster a 70% turnout and win the elections, Khamenei would not dare throw out the results...
