What's left behind the scenes
- According to the director, the film's investors wanted Emily Blunt's role to be rewritten for a man. But Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Taylor Sheridan insisted that the main character remain a woman.
- The character played by Benicio Del Toro is mostly silent in the film, although the script gave him quite a few lines. As the actor said: "In the original script, my character tells Kate about his past several times. And although this gave me myself an understanding of who this person is and how to better play him, there was a snag with these lines. It didn't seem right to reveal my background to someone I had just met." Del Toro began gradually "removing" his own lines. According to director Denis Villeneuve's calculations, the actor thus cut 90% of the lines written for him by screenwriter Taylor Sheridan from the role. Like Del Toro, Villeneuve agreed that the silent character would look more convincing. As he once stated, "...dialogue is for plays, and in cinema, the main thing is movement, personality, and the ability to be present in the frame, and Benicio had plenty of all of that."
- Shots through a thermal imager were filmed with a special "FLIR SC8300" camera. It was decided during final editing not to include many of them in the film.
- Emily Blunt based her character, Kate Macer, on one of the CIA employees she consulted with during preparation for filming. The actress described her as an introvert and a loner.
- While working on the film "Sicario" (2015), cinematographer Roger Deakins drew inspiration from the photographs of Alex Webb, particularly from a series titled "Crossing the American-Mexican Border," published in 2003.
- The word "Sicario" comes from the Latin "Sicarius," meaning "dagger-bearer." The Romans called zealots – adherents of a socio-political and religious movement in Judea that arose in the second half of the 1st century BC – "Sicarii" or simply "sicarios." The zealots concealed small daggers (called "sicae") in their clothing with which they killed Romans. Some scholars believe that Judas Iscariot's second name has the same root. In the 1st century AD, murders in Judea were so frequent that in 81 AD the Romans were forced to enact a law against hired assassins and poisoners ("Lex Cornelia de sicariis et veneficis"). The words "sicario" and "sica" also originate from the verb "secare," meaning "to cut." The word "sicario" exists in Spanish and Italian.
- Emily Blunt began filming four months after the birth of her first daughter, Hazel.
- Director Denis Villeneuve described the film "Sicario" (2015) as a "dark cinematic poem."
- Denis Villeneuve wanted to cast Emily Blunt in the lead role after seeing her performance in Jean-Marc Vallée's "The Young Victoria" (2009).
- In Spanish, the word "sicario" means "fighter".
- In Italian, the word "sicario" means "hitman".
- Screenwriter Taylor Sheridan once stated in an interview that he doesn't entirely disagree with the methods of Matt Graver, a role played by Josh Brolin in the film.
- On a poster above the bodies of hanged people in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, one can make out the words "Los estamos observando," or "We are watching you."
- Emily Blunt's character prefers the "Glock-19" pistol.
- Alejandro prefers the "Mark 23" pistol by "Heckler & Koch". This pistol won the tender conducted by the Main Directorate of Special Forces of the US Department of Defense (its competitor was the semi-automatic "Colt OHWS").
- Emily Blunt hit her head on a beam under the archway of the tunnel under the border when the team had just descended into it. Director Denis Villeneuve later said in an interview that he decided to include this episode in the film to add greater realism to the narrative.
- Kate smokes "Indian Creek" brand cigarettes. Cigarettes of the same brand can be seen in Silvio's bedroom, the corrupt Mexican cop.
- When John Bernthal's character fights Kate, he says, "You brought this on yourself." This line is very reminiscent of one his character Shane heard in one of the episodes of the television series "The Walking Dead" (2010).
- When Josh Brolin was offered a role in this project, he had just finished filming with Baltasar Kormákur in the thriller 'Everest' (2015), and declined to work with Denis Villeneuve. Then, cinematographer Roger Deakins sent him an email asking him to participate in the shoot. It was so unlike Deakins to do that Brolin, surprised, agreed to the request.
- Perhaps the most difficult thing to film was the border crossing. Filming on location would have required closing roads for several days, so it proved more practical to build full-scale sets.
- During filming in Mexico, Emily Blunt (who played Kate) contracted such a severe case of food poisoning that she had to receive an IV drip between takes.
- The character played by Benicio Del Toro is mostly silent in the film, although the script had given him plenty of lines. As the actor said: "In the original script, my character tells Kate about his past several times. And although that gave me an understanding of who this person is and how to play him better, there was a snag with these lines. I didn't feel comfortable revealing my background to someone I had just met." Del Toro began gradually "removing" his own lines. According to director Denis Villeneuve, the actor thus cut 90% of the lines written for him by screenwriter Taylor Sheridan from the role. Like Del Toro, Villeneuve agreed that a silent character would look more convincing. As he once stated, "...dialogue is for plays, and in cinema the main thing is movement, personality and the ability to be present in the frame, and Benicio had plenty of all of that."
