Casey, who plays Detective Patrick Kenzie, explained working with Ben was comfortable, even though they had their differences.

"We've had pretty different careers and he's worked a lot in more mainstream, conventional movies and I think he's familiar with those conventions and he really wanted to employ them in making this movie," he said. "Those were things that I sort of had to learn."

The film is released in the UK on June 6.
