The story is based onTed Chiang’s 1998 novellaStory Of Your Life, which was the original title of movie when it was entering production last year. The story also touches on the global community’s fear of the aliens, as they share information with one another while harboring their own agendas, withJeremy Rennerrevealing yesterday that the film shows “the divide in the unity with people across the world”.Amy Adamsalso spoke about the scenes with these alien visitors in yesterday’s report, teasing these scenes involved “awesome puppeteers who ran around holding very long poles with big orbs on the end.”
