Johansson had five releases in 2004, three of which-the teen heist movie The proper Score, the drama A Love Song for Bobby Long, and the drama A very good Woman-have been critical and business failures.
Hiddleston had leading roles in Declan Donnellan's firm Cheek by Jowl's productions The Changeling (2006), and Cymbeline (2007). For the latter he won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Newcomer in a Play.
