No matter how you feel about Zack Snyder’s Watchmen, it still remains one of the most talked about films in comic book history. For better or for worse. There was recently an HBO show Watchmen, which was very popular and would it have been created if not for the Snyder film? Which there is certainly a fanbase for Snyder’s adaptation of Watchmen, one actress revealed she “struggled” during the making of the movie. Not because of the film, the director, or the big names in the movie, but because of her own self at the time.
Malin Ackerman expressed:
“I don’t know if there was a particular project; I think it was just a matter of time. But I will say that Watchmen was a big shift because I felt way out of my league on that one. I really struggled because it was such a big film and I really felt like I had no idea what I was doing. I had no training and I was working with these fabulous theater actors who had all the training in the world. I definitely didn’t feel worthy of being there. I felt like I had tricked them into casting me.
“You know, there was a lot of stuff that I was going through, so it was definitely a shift and I just said, ‘Alright, I can’t just follow now anymore. I have to start making decisions of what it is that I want to learn, what direction I want to go in, what do I like creatively, what do I find fun? I want to put my best foot forward. I don’t want to feel like I’m in that position where I feel like I’m the weakest link in a production’, you know? So yeah, that probably was a little bit of a turning point.”
