They are about a month away from releasing their next project, “Civil War,” which is described as “an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride through a near-future fractured America balanced on the razor’s edge” on its website.
“Because we fell in love on a set, we fell in love creatively first,” Dunst recalled to Marie Claire earlier this week. “I think we’ll always come back to that, in a very not-involving-our-real-life way.”
