Anna Kendrick: 'Pilgrim was challenging'

Anna Kendrick has revealed that her experince filming with director Edgar Wright on Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World was "challenging".

In an interview with Movie Retriever, the actress has insisted that Wright's style to directing was innovative and that the movie was unlike any other she had ever filmed.

"I feel like working on this film was like being a part of live-action animation. So much of the film is composed in a really specific visual language. You do feel like you are doing choreography even with just your dialogue. It was really challenging," the 25-year-old said.

"You always felt like you understood the end product but you were, in some cases, a little blind, and you just had to trust that it doesn't look goofy. You really did feel like you were being puppeteered. That was like nothing I had ever done before."

She added: "At times, it was really challenging, but it definitely exercised a muscle that you wouldn't get to normally. You just felt like you really had to be focused and on the ball all the time because you had to get it right, the camera had to be right, a light didn't fall... you felt like you really had to deliver. But I like being challenged like that."

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is currently playing in the US and arrives in UK cinemas on August 25.
