Sharing his feelings when officially taking on the role of Vietnam tourism ambassador, director Jordan Vogt-Roberts said this was a great honor that he had never had before.

“The first time I came to Vietnam, I felt a lot of pressure because Vietnam is a place I didn't know much about, but when I finished the film, I felt very happy.

At that time, we always determined what to do and how to do it to do such a difficult job, but we were determined to promote and introduce the beauty of Vietnam through the film.

One thing is for sure, when watching this film, many people will be amazed by the wonderful beauty of Vietnam. Audiences and visitors will surely say, "Oh, how can there be such a beautiful place in the world?", director Jordan Vogt-Roberts said.

He also said that during the filming process in Vietnam, he experienced the culture and enjoyed many Vietnamese dishes, which made his love for this country grow.

“When we come to your country, we are very honored and proud to always feel welcome because of your hospitality.

We want to continue working with you in the future to bring to Vietnam many directors with many famous films and actors, and continue to introduce Vietnam's famous landscapes.

It can be said that this movie is one of the movies shown on a global scale, so its impact spreads to many fields and in the near future, many people will know about Vietnam.

I am very willing to contribute my part to introduce the beauty of Vietnam to friends around the world and it is an honor for me. Thank you, everyone,” he said.
