Ahead of the film's release, the filmmaker described Brown - who recently tied the knot with Jake Bongiovi - as "exceptional".
"She understood that this needed to be an extreme survival experience. And in order to make that believable, you have to convey suffering and pain," he said while speaking to Total Film.
"This is a movie about a transformation – about a girl becoming a woman – and you need to really feel the intensity of it. We didn't want to cheat any of that, and that's why we pushed all the limits to make this a huge roller coaster of an experience for the audience."
