Anna Kendrick has described working on her new movie Scott pIlgrim vs the Word as a 'challenge'.

The actress stars alongside Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Edgar Wrights big screen adaptation of the popular comic book series by  Bryan Lee O'Malley.

And Oscar nominee Kendrick admits that Wright's directing style is completely different to how she is used to working.

Speaking to Movie Retriever she said: "I feel like working on this film was like being a part of live-action animation. So much of the film is composed in a really specific visual language. You do feel like you are doing choreography even with just your dialogue. It was really challenging," the 25-year-old said.

"You always felt like you understood the end product but you were, in some cases, a little blind, and you just had to trust that it doesn't look goofy. You really did feel like you were being puppeteered. That was like nothing I had ever done before."

She added: "At times, it was really challenging, but it definitely exercised a muscle that you wouldn't get to normally.

"You just felt like you really had to be focused and on the ball all the time because you had to get it right, the camera had to be right, a light didn't fall... you felt like you really had to deliver. But I like being challenged like that."

Kendrick received critical acclaim and whole host of award nominations earlier this year for her performance in Up In The Air alongside George Clooney.

She also topped the box office earlier this summer as part of the Twilight: Eclipse cast, in which she reprised the role of Jessica Stanley.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World is released 25th August.
