• In a 2023 interview with Solzy at the Movies, Frank Marshall revealed the toughest thing about making the film: "...the biggest challenge was what to leave out. I mean, there were many, many moments in our country's history that Dan Rather was at and I couldn't cover because I was really focused on how Dan came to be there. There's a lot of serendipity and luck. We both had our first jobs in Texas. He was in Galveston as a weatherman and I was in Archer City as a location manager on The Last Picture Show (1971). Our careers, in a funny way, have kind of paralleled in interesting ways, being in the right place at the right time. But the biggest challenge, I just said, is tons and tons of archival footage, what do we use, those choices, all the people in Dan's life, and how do we encapsulate that into one movie. It's really choices, but hopefully, I made the right ones."
