Topher Grace And Malin Akerman Video Interview On 'Giant Mechanical Man'

The making of The Giant Mechanical Man brought together big-name talents Topher Grace, 34, Malin Akerman, 34, Rich Sommer, 34, Jenna Fischer, 38, and Chris Messina, 38, for what the actors describe as an indie extravaganza. “Independent cinema is more precious now than it kind of has ever been. I remember there was a huge surge growing up in the 90s. Even now, there are some independent films that still have $20 million budgets,” Grace told Uinterview exclusively. “This is a very independent film that has the tone necessary to convey what these characters are really thinking and feeling that normal studio films just wouldn’t allow.”

Akerman, recently seen in Rock of Ages with Tom Cruise, was attracted to Giant Mechanical Man for its strong endorsement of individualism. “I really like that message of it, that it’s sort of like, you can find someone who appreciates what you do instead of trying to conform and become what society wants you to become,” Akerman told Uinterview. “I just thought it was really beautiful that he just felt that it was part of him and that’s who he is. To stick to that within this society is not easy.”
