“You know, we are competitive. Let’s just get these two movies at the same time and see what happens,” joked Elsa of Nova FM’s Fitzy & Wippa.
In Elsa’s role, she plays no-nonsense Army Lieutenant JJ Collins, who must save the world when 16 nuclear missiles are launched across the United States.
The mother-of-three, who originally feared she was “too old” for such a physically intense role, undertook six months of “military training” before filming.
