Sarandon Speaks

[Mahdi]

Oscar wining Susan Sarandon told the scifi wire what it was like to play Wensicia:

Describing her performance as "the best hair acting since Sean Penn in Dead Man Walking," Sarandon said, "She's got incredible costumes with big collars. [Her hair has] things that look like samples of DNA going all over and stuff coming out, weird makeup, and it was just a chance to do Halloween." Special effects required Sarandon to adapt to unfamiliar processes. "I've never had to work where I'm talking to something that's not there and following it," she said. "It was very difficult for me, but I added yet another kind of flexing to a muscle that I hadn't had before. When your character is mostly all attitude and exposition, how do you deal with that? How can you make that interesting, besides the hairdo?"
