MATHILDA MAY: When the director told me that the player would press a button and I would sort of come into action I felt a bit, like, manipulated, sort of, like a doll, you know by people that I would never know. So that was, uh, you're always a bit manipulated when you're acting in a movie more than you are when you're on stage. What makes the difference between a normal film and this one is that everything's being worked and every line has got its point of view everything is very organized. My role in the film is about a strong woman that is a pilot. It's quite powerful, she's got a bit of a man attitude in terms of strength. She's very charming, very, uh, supposed to be attractive. And she seduces the hero, called Lev Arris and, uh, she has an adventure with him. She has a love story with him.
