While promoting
Underworld: Awakening, Kate Beckinsale sat down with
Collider to discuss her role in the upcoming remake of
, a sci-fi film released in 1990 which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. Beckinsale says that her character, Lori, will be different from Sharon Stone's version, saying that it'll be an amalgamation of Lori and Ritcher (played by Michael Ironside in the original film). She also talks about the catfight she'll have with Jessica Biel (who plays Melina), while also revealing that she'll have a fight with Colin Farrell's Doug Quaid. For Beckinsale's thoughts on a possible fifth
Underworld film, click the link below.
On Her Character In Total Recall...
It’s going really great, and everyone’s very excited about it. I suppose the thing is, Sharon Stone’s interpretation of Lori is safe because my character is more… It is Lori, but it’s an amalgamation of Lori and Richter. So I guess one of the differences about our movie as opposed to their movie is in that period of time they needed her to have a right hand man. I am the right hand man and Lori at the same time. So it’s a little bit more of an amalgamation of a couple of parts.
On The Cat Fight Between Lori And Melina...
It’s incredible. There’s a lot of stuff that I feel like has only just been possible to do with some of our cars and all that stuff. It’s going to be amazing. And then for me there was a lot of… I mean, I’m beating everyone up. Fighting with Colin [Farrell], fighting with Jessica [Biel]. The fight with Jessica is going to be great. I like the fact that it’s a proper fight. It’s not two girls, and one of them, the shoulder is ripped off, and the bra comes out. It’s not like one of those stupid girl fights. It’s a proper fight.
Total Recall is set to hit theaters August 3rd, 2012.
