From the first moment that Matthew (Josh Hartnett) sees Lisa (Diane Kruger) walk past the window where he works in Wicker Park, its unmistakably love at first sight. Matt follows her, they meet and soon afterwards fall deeply in love with one another. Everything is going perfectly until the day she ends up vanishing without a trace.

Two years have passed since Lisa's sudden disappearance and Matt still can't let the memories fade away. Then he catches a quick glimpse of someone he thinks must be her in a bar... but is it? This sets off an obsessive search for the woman who captured his heart years ago. Upon his search for Lisa, Matt encounters Alex (Rose Byrne), a mysterious young lady who may know more about Lisa's disappearance than she lets on. Matthews search for the truth will lead him deeper into the mystery, with each discovery more deceiving than the next.

We were able to speak with the cast and director of "Wicker Park" to see what it takes to make a romantic thriller work. Josh headlined the cast and was very crucial in getting the film "green-lit" once M.G.M learned that he signed on and was very excited about the project. Josh took the role because he could relate to his characters obsession and he was given casting approval. When asked if he likes in depth dramatic roles or huge popcorn movies, he said "I enjoy playing fully developed interesting characters and have several low profile roles coming up". This left the question unanswered on whether or not he was going to play "Superman" and "I'm not doing it, that wasn't mine-it wasn't for me" was his response. Josh had a great time on the set even though there were various challenges while filming.

Josh let us know that one major challenge that effected filming on location in Montreal was the sub-zero temperature. "You could only be outside for a couple of minutes before your skin actually started to freeze". Said Hartnett. "It was so cold I couldn't think. I had to give myself extra time to get through every day." Said director Paul Mcguigan. "Wicker Park" is a film that intricately moves back and forth in time and reveals the story from varying perspectives. "At first it may seem a bit confusing, but towards the end of the film it all starts to make sense". Said Mcguigan. He also added "We will have an alternate linear version of the film when the DVD comes out".

Finally came the beautiful female leads who were first cast In "Wicker Park" then also appeared together in the summer block-buster "Troy". Speaking with a slight German accent, Diane Kruger filled us in on her very first scenes with Hartnett, "It was a little embarrassing because the first scenes I filmed with Josh were the dancing scenes and the love scenes. Its weird just meeting someone then having to do a sexy dance for them". Even though she had never experienced such cold weather, Diane had nothing but nice things to say about co-stars and crew. Rose Byrne has a strong presence in the film as Alex, a girl that admires Matt and wants to be Lisa. "The love scenes weren't really embarrasing for me because they are so technical. It's all about the lighting and how you appear on camera". Said Byrne when asked about heavily romantic scenes with Hartnett. Byrne had to drop a heavy Australian accent for "Wicker" which was set in Chicago. "It wasn't very difficult because in Australia we watch alot of American television and I was familiar with the way they speak". The young cast had a great time filming the movie and Josh had such a positive experience that he and director Paul Mcguigan are starting work on another film together.
