She also said to prepare for her role, she trained for"a million hours a week.""I was trying to figure out how the hell I was going to catch up to be even remotely believable as someone who could threaten Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah, that makes sense. All 128 pounds of me, beating the shit out of Arnold, in space," she quips.
Angry over the scene, Stone says she slapped the director across the face and called her lawyer. After facing pushback from the director, Stone says she eventaully decided to keep the scene because"it was correct for the film and for the character; and because, after all, I did it.", which she describes as her"most stretching" role she's done, she sleepwalked three times during production and knocked an actor unconscious after filming the movie's opening scene.
"Within a couple of weeks I went to the Oscars rehearsal. I tried to fit in. I was introverted, like someone who had been in deprivation therapy. Everyone was very busy being fabulous, and I was working hard to stand."
