" Tom Hiddleston has said that working on Midnight in Paris was &amp;quot;a dream&amp;quot;. The Avengers star also told EW that he was initially confused about the nature of the Woody Allen film after first receiving a letter from the director with 15 pages of the script.   Hiddleston said: &amp;quot;It was three sentences long. &amp;#039;Dear Tom, I&amp;#039;m making a movie in Paris this summer. I attached some pages. I&amp;#039;d love for you to play the role of Scott&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;The character was only referred to as &amp;#039;Scott&amp;#039;. So I thought, okay, this guy Scott is in a scene with a character called Ernest and a character named Zelda. Is Woody Allen writing a movie about F. Scott Fitzgerald?&amp;quot; Hiddleston however clarified that he only found out the truth after coming onto the set and asking Owen Wilson about the movie. He continued: &amp;quot;But there was this other character called Gil and I couldn&amp;#039;t figure out who Gil was! I showed up on the set the first day, doing rehearsals and camera tests and I asked Owen, and I swear this is the God&amp;#039;s honest truth, I had to ask him who exactly Gil was. &amp;quot;He said, &amp;#039;Oh no no, I&amp;#039;m from now. See, there&amp;#039;s this time machine&amp;#039;. And then he told me the entire story. I was so very glad I asked.&amp;quot; The 31-year-old also said that the film was a pleasure to be a part of, adding: &amp;quot;It was one of those things where it&amp;#039;s like, Paris! Woody Allen! It was a dream, such a great, surreal time.&amp;quot; Watch the trailer for Midnight in Paris below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
