Kate Beckinsale: TV Guide News

At the Premiere: Kate Becksinale Makes Snow Angels | Today's News: Our Take | 2/29/2008
The Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood was abuzz as Kate Beckinsale hit the red carpet for the premiere of her latest movie, Snow Angels. In keeping with the film’s focus on relationships, Beckinsale opened up about her own. “It was definitely a real examination of all the different stages that love can go through, whether it’s in a beautiful, blossoming early stage or a kind of a horrendously psychotic falling-apart stage,” she told TV Guide of Snow Angels. “It made me very glad to go home to my husband and my kid at night, that’s for sure.” When asked whether Hollywood’s recent baby boom had inspired her, Beckinsale said the pregnancies of fellow actors had no influence over that part of her life. “I think about it...,” she said of having another child. “My daughter’s very against it right now. We’re starting with a cat.” Potential roles are also weighed with her daughter in mind. “There was definitely a period... read more

Is Beckinsale the New Buffy? | Today's News: Our Take | 5/5/2004

Vampire action-thrillers are Kate Beckinsale's nasty new niche. Last year, she vamped it up as a spooky heroine in Underworld. Next, she plays a vampire slayer opposite Hugh Jackman in Van Helsing (opening Friday). Has she gone all Buffy on us? The 30-year-old Brit denies it, insisting she doesn't even like all those fanged fiends she's been hanging with.

"I was so surprised to do any vampire movies at all, because I'm not into them," Beckinsale admits. "When I first got sent the script for Underworld, I didn't even want to read it."

So what motivated her return to this gory genre for Van Helsing? (Besides a bloody-good paycheck, we mean.) "When I got the script for [Van Helsing], even though it had vampires and werewolves in it, my character was so different," she enthuses. "First of all, I'm not a vampire myself. [My character's] a gypsy and passionate and human. It just seemed like a different role."
