Domino is based on the life of Domino Harvey, daughter of actor Laurence Harvey who starred in such films as the original The Manchurian Candidate opposite Frank Sinatra and Oscar-winner Room at the Top. Domino led an interesting life that ranged from running a London dance club to working as a ranch hand in San Diego, but where things seemed to click for her was when she signed on to become a bail recovery agent, or better put… a bounty hunter.

Teamed with her bounty hunting compatriots Ed and Choco, the three set out in the legitimate, yet dangerous, profession of hunting down the criminals trying to skip out on bail. The story told in Tony Scott's Domino resembles the true-life story of Domino Harvey, but is far from the truth as screenwriter Richard Kelly built a fictionalized storyline surrounding Harvey's life.

So what exactly is true and what is fiction? Well, that question just might never be answered. One thing is for certain, over the 12 years director Tony Scott knew Domino he most likely learned more than he has put on the big screen.

"For me it is important to capture the tone of the world and the tone of the characters," Scott said. "It's entertainment, it is a fun and wild ride in a dangerous world. It's not the Domino Harvey story, because the two bio pics on her I thought were boring… I knew Domino for 12 years, she is like a surrogate daughter. At times she would be in my life every week and then I wouldn't hear from her for six months. So I wasn't surprised [by here death] because she always went to those dark places. When you've known somebody that long it hurts."

Taking on the role of the free spirited Harvey is Keira Knightley, 20, and while she didn't spend an overwhelming amount of time with the real Domino before she passed away in June she did garner her own opinion, "I think she was amazing. I met her twice before we started the film and she was on set quite a lot. I haven't done a direct characterization of her because I didn't have the time because I was working on something else, but my character was similar to Domino in many ways and completely different in other ways. Tony gave me interviews with Domino before we started so I had something to listen to in order to get a background and all that kind of stuff. He gave me pictures of her and various visual references and I just took that and went off in my own direction… all I can say is I wish I'd known her better."

At the emotional heart of the film is the conflicting relationship between Domino and Choco played by newcomer Edgar Ramirez and while this relationship has not been substantiated in real life Ramirez assures us there was something there, "They were very close, I don't think anyone will ever know how close they were and what level of intimacy they shared. They were very good friends, they love each other they protected each other all the time, actually Choco was always protecting her."

Ramirez said he got so into the role that he actually began to protect Keira, then again who wouldn't want to spend more time being closer to Keira Knightley?

"We were dealing with a lot of jeopardy in the movie with the guns and the fire and all that and yeah, I love my co-stars. I would get her coffee, and hold her cigarette and we were together all the time because we shared several scenes in the movie." Could there have been another reason you were doing all this Edgar?

Keira's beauty is undeniable, but was she able to fill the role of a kick-ass bounty hunter? Could she make it convincing?

Another star of Domino, Brian Austin Green, was convinced, "Keira did a fucking kick ass job, it's the last thing I think that anyone would have expected from her."

Once you see the film you will understand why this isn't exactly a Knightley-esque role based on those she has turned in thus far, but I assure you she doesn't struggle with the part.

As filming completed and the project head into post-production word of Domino's death hit the news wires and the film's release date began to bounce all over the place. On top of that it soon became a question of whether or not the ending to the feature would be changed to reflect this new development, but producer Samuel Hadida tells us that was never in the cards, "Tony has always wanted to finish the movie with a shot of the real Domino at the end of the movie. The only thing we changed was the ‘In Loving Memory' because we did it after she died."
