April 21, 2012: Another Ayelet Zurer "Man of Steel" Interview

Ayelet Zurer Collider.com has published an interview with actress Ayelet Zurer in which she discusses her new film "Darling Companion" as well as her role as Lara in "Man of Steel". Here's a portion of the interview...

    When you do something like Man of Steel, is it difficult to get out of your own head, knowing that you're playing the biological mother of a character as iconic as Superman?

    ZURER: You know, if the scenes weren't well written and they weren't emotional enough, I would have had a problem because you are aware of the heroic moments, but mostly I didn't feel that way, at all. They were just really good, dramatic scenes for me.

    Was most of your work down inside with a green screen, or did you have to deal with some of the outside locations and all of the paparazzi?

    ZURER: I wasn't distracted, at all. It was very quiet and very well kept. People could not bring cameras or phones into the set, so it was very work-oriented. At the end of the day, you really want one thing, which is for your scenes to work. For me, that was great.

    What was Zack Snyder like, as a director? Was he much different from working with Lawrence Kasdan?

    ZURER: It was the same, at the end of the day. Their approach is different, but something about their personalities was the same. They like people. They're interested in human beings. The more interested they are in others, the more interesting their scenes become because they actually see things other than themselves. I find all of them to be sensitive people. That's really helpful. It's very bad if you are nervous or afraid, or you feel like your director doesn't like you or is not happy with what you do or you don't have good communication. They're people with good communication skills. They have to have that. Well, at least the people I work with have had that. Maybe I've gotten lucky. You really want to make sure that you have fun, at the end of the day. If it's not fun, what's the point. Fun, even if it's painful. Even if the dramatic scenes are really hard, if you're happy with what you have and it's been creative and you had a good time with the people you worked with, that's a good day.
