At the gala screening at the Ham Yard Hotel, London, on Wednesday, director James Griffiths told the PA news agency: 'Tom especially was going blue through most of the takes.
'I think there was a medic going in, and you too, right (Carey)? We had a medic sort of checking your temperature for the cold stuff. It was freezing.'
When asked if it was filmed during the summer, Oscar-nominated actress Mulligan said 'it's Wales'.
Basden said the rural location, believed to be in and around Pembrokeshire, was 'beautiful and it was unpredictable, weather wise, and it was challenging'.
Key said: 'We shot the short film (version) 18 years ago, and we're kind of very eager to get back to Wales. Feels like it's a big part of the film. Weirdly.'
Mulligan, 40, also recalled that the filming over a few weeks felt like a 'summer camp together'.

London-born Mulligan, whose mother is originally from Llandeilo, Wales, also said: 'I had such a little baby when we were filming, it's just attached to all these, like, gorgeous memories of my baby being little.
'And you guys were all around, and everyone was cuddling her, and we were all sort of together for a bit. So it's very precious to me.'
The original short film, The One And Only Herb McGwyer Plays Wallis Island, was nominated for a 2008 Bafta short film prize, and saw Key and Basden in the main roles.
Mulligan has been nominated three times for a best actress Oscar, for projects including coming-of-age hit An Education, revenge thriller Promising Young Woman, and biopic Maestro.
In April 2012, Mulligan married Mumford – lead singer of Mumford & Sons – and the couple now have three children.
She has previously appeared on soundtracks released for movies she has been in, including Maestro, Inside Llewyn Davis, about a fictional folk singer, and period drama Far From The Madding Crowd.
The Ballad Of Wallis Island will come to UK cinemas on Friday.

He played Clyde Barrow in the hit crime film Bonnie and Clyde in 1967 and also produced the project also. Meanwhile, her mum has starred in 1999 classic American Beauty and superhero film Captain Marvel which released in 2019. That's right, the star in question is Ella Beatty, daughter of the legendary actor Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. Ella made her foray into the acting world last year with a recurring role in the FX on Hulu anthology series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, also directed American Horror Story creator Ryan. Proving she's a chip off of the old block, she starred on the big screen in A24 drama If I Had Legs I'd Kick You which released earlier this year and made her Broadway debut in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' plays Appropriate. Ella's dad Warren, 88, made his own acting debut as a teenager in love in the Elia Kazan drama Splendor in the Grass in 1961. His illustrious career has seen him win an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and the BAFTA Fellowship in 2002. He's also been nominated for 14 Academy Awards in total including four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture and two for Best Director.

Meanwhile, her mum Annette has had her own career spanning over four decades, winning numerous accolades including a BAFTA, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Golden Globe Awards. Warren and Annette met in November 1990 while working on the film Bugsy, where they were playing love interests. Warren, who also wrote the script, was casting the movie and thought of Annette for the role of Virginia Hill, Bugsy's girlfriend. The pair met for lunch to discuss the part and ended up connecting both professionally and personally. The two tied the knot in 1992 and went on to have four children together, Stephen, 33, Benjamin, 30, Isabel, 28 and Ella. 4 Ella is the daughter of Hollywood royalty Warren Beatty and Annette Bening Credit: AFP

Watch as legendary sitcom star is left stumped by tricky Celebrity Catchphrase puzzles – could you solve them?
A BELOVED sitcom star was left stumped by challenging Celebrity Catchphrase puzzles - but could you work them out? Although contestants must "say what they see" on the ITV game show - this is not always easy. 4 Neil Morrissey struggled with tricky puzzles on Celebrity Catchphrase Credit: ITV 4 The actor was stumped by some of the final round's riddles Credit: ITV 4 Could you work them out? Credit: ITV Stephen Mulhern welcomed Dianne Buswell, Ria Hebden and Neil Morrissey to the studio. Men Behaving Badly star Neil, 63, reached the Super Catchphrase round, with £4,500. The star faced some difficulty as he made his way up the money pyramid. One riddle showed a woman cutting open a pastry, with three fish emerging from it. Neil guessed "fish cake", but later learned the answer was actually "fish pie". Another puzzle featured the show's Mr. Chips character standing on weighing scales. The words "Weight Mate Meeting" were on a blackboard, while he held a fork and a plate with staples on it. Neil tried to suss it out and guessed "staple gun" before deciding to pass. The correct answer was later revealed to be "staple diet". He also reached the prestigious number 11 Catchphrase - but had only three seconds to decipher it. Watch moment Celebrity Catchphrase star Lesley Garrett fails to double her money on tricky riddle The riddle showed a split-screen of two figures of the word HARD. One of them was sat behind a desk in an office and while the other in was in a garden. Neil took a quick guess with "hard copy", which was soon revealed to be incorrect. Afterwards, Stephen informed him that the right answer was "work hard, play hard." Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed.

The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. Neil had answered some of the other puzzles correctly and bagged £5,000 in the final round. The actor said: "Wow, that's amazing" upon learning of his winning amount. Combined with his earlier total, it meant Bounds Green Food Bank would be receiving £9,500 altogether. Celebrity Catchphrase airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
