 The film, which stars Weaver alongside acting greats like Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker and William Hurt, is one she says was beset with many roadblocks which made the filming process complicated. The first for her was pulling off a role that initially had intended to be male. “A man named Rex, I’m told, and I found him full of testosterone, I have to say, so I think I tried to heed the same strength and ambition, but in a woman’s way,” Sigourney notes, “So she’s definitely in charge and the truth is women have the positions now, so I just think how great it is to make it in a movie.” The second challenge for the theater-trained actress was the lack of rehearsal time to prepare for the film. “Well, we actually were supposed to have rehearsal for Vantage Point, but we didn’t, because they were working six-day weeks,” Weaver states, “And I think that was the hard part because technically, we had to be in a room with like twenty screens and we didn’t ever see the room before we started to shoot us and everything I say is to do with something on screen.” “And it took a long time for us because they would show us some footage that we could have looked at, but we weren’t allowed to look at images in the wrong direction,” she continues, “We had to look here, we had to look there, so technically speaking, it was the hardest job I ever had to do. And when they finally shot from the back, what we do see, even though it was a green screen, at least we could see the world we were in and how complicated it was. And now, we’re used to how to run all the machines and all the technical stuff, we didn’t get the kind of help that we needed until by the end, we had it.” Despite the lack of rehearsal time, Sigourney says she was more than up to the challenge and it contributes to her strengths as a performer. “I always like to have a couple of days rehearsal,” I think it’s really nice. I always used to do rehearsal for the theater. I don’t expect three weeks, but it’s good for the scene to gel and explode on screen, so we didn’t get that experience. But we did have more time with Be Kind, Rewind, it was sort of improvisation, but I like working both ways, I really do. I like the challenge of working this difficult thing technically of not being able to see what I was reacting to on page. I got used to it, but it’s the life of the actor. You’ll never know quite what you’re going to get until you are actually there.” The actress meticulously prepared herself for the role as a ... |
