Jennifer
Garner came out to support the DVD release of Alias: The Complete
Third Season, but we made sure to corner her for some Elektra details.
Since she last talked to press, Elektra said she was happy with the
remainder of the film’s work, which she has now completed.
“The rest of the shoot went really well,” Garner said.
“We had a few more big fights. We shot all the big finale stuff.
It continued to be rough and tumble and really fun.”
Garner went on to detail some of the intense fight scenes, showing
off some remaining scratches on her hands. “They were the toughest
fights I’ve ever done. I fought five guys with a bo stick, five
ninjas. That was pretty intense. And I had a fight with my sais against
two kitanas. I kept getting bonked and there was some bloodshed there.
That was pretty intense as well.”
Now working on the fourth season of Alias, Garner is still surprised
to be the action hero. “If you’d ever told me that I would
be shooting a fight scene, and that I would be like, ‘Yeah,
you know, I need to go shoulder to shoulder…’ if you’d
ever told me that I would know what that was about ever at all, I
wouldn’t have believed you.”
