Along with Hayek, the cast also features Demián Bichir, Juan Minujín, Angelica Pisilli, as well as two of Jolie's children Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt, and Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

During a conversation at TIFF Hayek told Entertainment Weekly, Hayek confessed that she wasn't initially sold on playing role of Nina, a woman who endures both the brutality of war and toil of searching for healing in its aftermath. 'I didn’t want to do the movie. I didn't want to be Nina,' the Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico native, 58, said.

'I didn't want to go to the places that she’s been, emotionally. So I told Angie, I don't want to do this woman. I don't want to.

It's too painful. It's taken so many years for me to get to a place in my life where I'm really happy. I don't want to go suffer for weeks and weeks.

' The Frida star looked at the story, and all the pros and cons, and thought the role is a 'very complicated piece for an actor.'

'You have to be on the edge of complete breakdown for the entire movie, and never breakdown,” Hayek told the publication.

While Hayek was on the fence over signing on to star in the movie, Jolie went into lobbying mode and eventually sold her on the emotionally demanding role after 'a lot of long conversations.' 'I realized that even though this character is in very different circumstance, I was afraid to relieve personal trauma that is completely different. I think all of us women can identify some of our trauma to it.

Being tossed aside. Men always making the important decisions in your life and having sometimes no choice but to go along with it. Being paralyzed by having your power taken away from a really young age.

Having trauma and not knowing how to come out of it,' Hayek explained. 'And then finding the strength out of hate and anger.'

' After spending all those weeks and months working alongside Jolie on the production, Hayek now puts her up at the top of the list of 'best actors director I ever worked with.' It turns out the Girl, Interrupted Oscar winner knew the right things to say and do to keep engaged with her lead actress. 'I've never felt so valued.

She knew I was the right actress. I didn't even know I was the right actress at the moment,' Hayek said in high praise of the actress and filmmaker. Without Blood marks Jolie's sixth directorial debut, which comes in the wake of A Place In Time (2007), In The Land Of Blood And Honey (2011), Unbroken (2014), By The Sea (2015), and First They Killed My Father (2017).
