Malin Akerman
If you've ever wanted to see a superhero naked, you've already seen Watchmen's Silk Spectre. Actress Malin Akerman will likely keep her clothes on in the comic book adaptation, after revealing roles in The Heartbreak Kid, Entourage and The Comeback. She plays The Silk Spectre, the only Watchwoman, who she says provides the emotional heart of this adaptation.
Malin Akerman on Watchmen
"It's a really, really, really well written script, really great role that I'm so excited to do because it's so opposite from what I just did. It's a wonderful novel and very true to the novel. If you're familiar with the novel, that's it."
Akerman is getting in shape to kick some ass, but don't look for any Linda Hamilton arms. "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."
With slight rising fame from roles on Entourage and in The Heartbreak Kid, Akerman cannot possibly prepare for the recognition once Watchmen hits screens. "It's exciting. I don't ever feel like you're really ready for it. I just hope we do it justice."
So far, fans have left her alone. "Not yet. I haven't been out."
Akerman will join the cast after her press duties for The Heartbreak Kid are complete. "They've already started this week actually. I start October 15th until February. It's a long shoot."
