Director Steven Soderbergh wanted audiences to tell her apart from her character

January 2012 brings an insanely anticipated action film, this time with a female star in the lead. MMA fighter Gina Carano plays Mallory in Steven Soderbergh's “Haywire” but there's something drastically different between the two.

Fans immediately picked up that Carano's voice was different in the film: different, as in “altered” different.

One of the two videos below is of Carano in character, while the other is of her admission that, indeed, Soderbergh altered her voice in the studio – but she says it was in the interest of the film for him to do so.

“Steven Soderbergh wanted Mallory and Gina to be two completely different entities. I think in the sports world you end up falling in love with the person that is Gina Carano, and it makes it a little bit more difficult to take me and put me into a Mallory Kane type of character,” she says.

“And so he did do some altering and mixing… and we went back into ADR and he worked really hard at making Mallory be a different entity. And he did a really genius job in that,” Gina adds.

The film is now out in theaters. With Carano in the lead and a stellar cast, it will probably be the film to see if you're in the mood for some action.
