Dakota Fanning is way ahead of most actors her age considering her experience playing big screen roles dates back to being seven alongside the likes of Sean Penn and Michelle Pfieffer in her movie debut, "I Am Sam." As the actress stars in her latest movie, Ishana Night Shayamalan’s "The Watchers," it made me wonder how her first horror movie, Steven Spielberg’s "War Of The Worlds," may have come into play.
During our CinemaBlend interview, CinemaBlend's Sarah El-Mahmoud told Dakota Fanning that "War Of The Worlds" was one of the first scary movies she got to see. She was about her age when my parents let me watch the 2005 movie because it was made by Steven Spielberg and a little girl starred in it. Here’s what the actor recalled about being on the set 20 years ago.

00:00So one of the first scary movies I saw was war of the worlds. Oh, yeah, 20 years next year. Yeah
00:07Yeah, I was curious if there's something on that set that you really learned about the genre or suspense that you can recall
00:15Whoa, I mean I learned so much on that movie just working with the you know
00:20greatest of all time and Steven and and working with Tom and
00:25all the people that they surround themselves with who are just at the
00:28You know top of their games and so it was a learning experience every day, but for suspense, I think that it's
00:36To always take your time
00:38You know
00:39I think like you you can't rush that and I and I I think that this film also shares that of you know
00:46You don't necessarily get to see
00:49The creature right away or something. You know what I mean?
00:52It's like I'm when you say war of the worlds
00:54I'm reminded of like that scene in the basement when that kind of I
00:57is coming down and the build of that and it's sort of
01:02Simply done in a way, but it's that it's the pace of it. You know that kind of creates that. Yeah
