I: Are you going to work with the same team?
N: Yes, it's going to be the same team, actually. We're all interested in making another film together.
I : And when are you starting work on the film?
N: We have actually started. We spent a month interviewing different singers, but that's only a beginning, of course. We've got to do a lot in the next few months.
