In 2012 when the movie was shown on the Dutch Film Festival, producer Henk Bos was interviewed by Martin Koolhoven in front of an audience. Bos told that during shooting he hadn't been completely happy with the dailies. He claimed director Bobby Eerhart was very much busy with the aesthetics (shooting everything with long lenses) and not enough with the story. Because Eerhart was so concerned with the look of the movie, he was shooting very slow. Bos had then asked Hans Scheepmaker (who directed a movie before and after this for him) to come and help out. According to Bos, Scheepmaker shot much quicker and the scenes he directed were much more dynamic. Ultimately, about 40% of the final movie was directed by Hans Scheepmaker, Henk Bos estimated.
Ten years later Koolhoven (who considers Wildschut the most underestimated Dutch movie ever) showed the movie again in Groningen and checked this story with Hidde Maas. Maas confirmed it and told his fighting scenes were directed by Scheepmaker, as were at least all the scenes with the military.
