The Oscar-nominated actress discusses tech and games in this exclusive interview.

What role did technology play in bringing the video game-like Battle School to life?

Technology was everything in this movie.  It was everything because it’s a game.  When you come into the movie, you have to believe that you are inside of a game and all of the attractions that come with the game. I’m sure a lot of gamers feel that way too for two, three hours, however long you play in the game that you are being transported into this world, until it’s not a game anymore.  So that was the challenge as I knew.  I feel like we were successful in doing that.  We’ll see how it goes.

How do you feel that video games have affected kids nowadays in terms of hand-eye coordination and how they think and deal with the world?

I’m not sure.  I don’t want to say that gaming is the reason that so many people have been very, very violent, that’s it’s been kind of the basis for a lot of the mass shootings and everything, but I do think there’s a part of it that is so violent some of them and I don’t know.  I can never separate that in myself, even if I’m playing a game.  So I’m wondering what happens when people are gaming, how do they separate it?  Do they then in turn compartmentalize? And then if you’re playing a game for five, six, seven hours a day, how then do you just turn it off and go eat dinner?  I’m wondering about that.  But I can’t make any judgments.
