Frosty at Collider recently grabbed Malin Akerman for a few minutes before she jets off to Vancouver to begin shooting her part in Zach Snyder's Watchmen.
"This is a really cool role," Akerman said of her character, the Silk Spectre. "I think she sort of carries the emotion of the film because she is the only woman amongst all of these men. It's a really, really, really well written script. It's a wonderful novel and it’s very true to the novel, so if you're familiar with the novel that's it."
To prepare for her October-to-February shoot, Akerman has been training, but "it is not fun. I've been training for a month and a half and I still don't see the results. I have no muscles. I'm starting to get aggravated."
But, in this era of special effects and green screen moviemaking, is it really that important for her to be in "fighting shape?" Apparently, it is.
"There's not that much green screen because it's very real. We're not superheroes or anything like that. We just fight crime. There's only one scene on Mars that I think will be a green screen."
However, Akerman's looking forward to it all. "It's exciting. I just hope we do it justice."
