Kate Beckinsale on Total Recall and Underworld 4

It’s been her “year of bruises” apparently

Kate Bekinsale, who is currently shooting the Total Recall demake* (being directed by her husband, Len Wiseman) and who also recently finished production on Underworld: Awakening, reveals in a Comic-Con interview posted on Blastr, “This year has been the year of bruises for me. I seem to be getting hit every day.”

She goes on to explain: “And the bumps and bruises you get aren’t from the highly choreographed fight scenes and wire stuff. It’s never the impressive thing that gets you hurt. I fell over on the set of Total Recall because my shoes were slippy.”

She wasn’t able to reveal much about Total Recall. “It’s a massive movie and a whole different world. I have a really fun, horrible character. I’ve never really played the real villain before.”

As to why she returned to play Selene one more time, she revealed, “I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to continue exactly where we left off with the second one. It seemed like there needed to be more of an incentive to explore new stuff to make it worth it for us and audiences as well. There are lots of twists and turns and different characters. The world is very different, so it seemed like a good idea.”
