More From Olivia Wilde On Tron: Legacy And Cowboys And Aliens!
The sexy star of House goes in to great detail about her roles in the upcoming comic book movies, Tron: Legacy and Cowboys and Aliens! Hit the jump for more...
On The Tron: Legacy Footage She's Seen So Far:
"It's even more stunning than I imagined. But there are certain elements that I hadn't taken into account when we were shooting. Things like the way they altered some of the voices, which I think is really interesting. Like when you hear the Black Guard programs talking to the other programs and their voices are warped. And then the Sirens, their voices are warped too. And that elements - just changing the sound in order to differentiate programs from users – was really interesting. And that was something new for me. But the film overall is more beautiful than I imagined. And the texture of it keeps getting better. It's not finished yet, but each time I see pieces of it they're painted in more and more. And so it becomes more and more intricate."
On The Difficult Action Scenes:
"It was much more challenging in heels. It was hard. But I enjoy the physicality because it was a tool with which I could unlock who Quorra was. I was doing a tremendous amount of research on Joan of Arc and Buddhist warriors and all sorts of things that could inform me about who she was. But it wasn't until I had physically transformed through the martial arts training and cross training and everything else we were doing, that I could understand - oh, this is how she feels. This is how she walks. She's the kind of person who could protect herself if she got jumped while walking down a dark street. It was really challenging, but also useful."
On The Anticipation From Fans For The Upcoming Movie:
"The reason I actually enjoy doing press for Tron, a movie that hasn't even come out yet, is because I'm really interested in the questions it brings up. Why is there so much anticipation for this? In my theory, the world is very ripe for a movie like this right now. It's very appropriate for what we're going through right now in terms of technology. I think it's more interesting for the viewer to watch this film with a little more background on what went into it. So that's why it doesn't bother me to do the press. I geek out on Tron and I like to talk about it."
On Jon Favreau's Cowboys And Aliens:
"Yes. And you know, Cowboys & Aliens was another step. And I think on this I maybe worked 68 days out of 75. And on Cowboys I worked 80 days. So I'm becoming more and more responsible for the film. But I feel like I can accept that responsibility based on each experience and what I've learned from it. So definitely. I think being in Tron prepared me for working with iconic actors, too. You work with Jeff Bridges and then you think, "Okay, I can handle working with Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig and Sam Rockwell." People that I've looked up to for a long time. I feel like I'm taking these great, incremental steps. And I feel more prepared for each one. And I feel like I'm at the right place and that I'm meant to be playing these characters."
