Malin Akerman Talks Watchmen

Comingsoon.net and SuperHeroHype caught up with Malin Akerman as a press day for The Heartbreak Kid. Some of the highlights were some questions they asked her about her upcoming film The Watchmen.

SHH!: When do you start filming?
Akerman:They’ve already started this week actually. I start October 15th.

CS/SHH!: How long are you shooting for?
Akerman: Until February. It’s a long shoot.

CS/SHH!: Are you ready for that process with the green screen and all?
Akerman:There’s not that much green screen because it’s very real. We’re not superheroes or anything like that. We just fight. We fight crime. There’s only one scene on Mars that I think will be a green screen. I’m excited. I’m looking forward to trying new things.

CS/SHH!: What’s your rehearsal process been like for this?
Akerman: 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. It’s actually been a lot of fun because we’ve been doing a lot of fight training. You go in and you have these amazing fighters that are doing this and they show you what to do. You try to do it and you look like a ballerina trying to do karate and it’s so hard. It looks a lot easier than it is. Trust me. I’ve got a few more months of training I think.

CS/SHH!: Are you prepared for the fans to go crazy over this film and your character?
Akerman: It’s exciting. I don’t ever feel like you’re really ready for it. I just hope we do it justice.

CS/SHH!: Are fans starting to approach you about the film?
Akerman: Not yet. I haven’t been out.

Watchmen is scheduled for a March 6, 2009 release.
