Amanda Seyfried has candidly shared her experience portraying a spiritual leader in Mona Fastvold's film, "The Testament of Ann Lee." In an exclusive chat with Collider, the actress confessed that she spent an entire year preparing for her role due to the limited production time, which put immense pressure on her shoulders. Reflecting on the experience, she was asked if working under such tight deadlines ever felt overwhelming. "It does," she replied. "But with Mona Fastvold, she has a collection of the best craftsmen in their field. All the heads of departments will drop everything for her, who were also working on this for a long time with me."
Amanda continued, "We've been working on this for a year prior to Budapest. We'd already done a workshop, so we shot a bunch of stuff that ends up in the movie in January, before that, in Massachusetts."
"So I will say yes, 34 days is ridiculous," she added. "But because we knew we didn't have that much time or money, we all, on our days off from other projects, would come together and work on certain aspects."
The actress's reflections painted a vivid picture of the intense preparation and collaboration that went into making "The Testament of Ann Lee," highlighting the team's dedication and passion for the project despite the challenging circumstances.
