![]() ![]() Kate Beckinsale as Selene in Underworld: Evolution.īeckinsale initially turned down the role of Vampire heroine Selene, believing that a film about Vampires and Werewolves wasn't the type of role she was looking for. In 2004, Beckinsale married Wiseman, who she later divorced in 2016. While filming Underworld, Beckinsale met and began a relationship with director Len Wiseman, which culminated in a breakup between herself and Sheen, as well as between Wiseman and his wife. The two maintained an eight year long relationship, into which a daughter, Lily Sheen, was born. In 1995, Beckinsale met fellow actor Michael Sheen and fell in love with him. With her fame firmly established, she followed up with films such as Click, Vacancy and Whiteout.īeckinsale's most recent work has been on Total Recall, which was directed by her husband, and The Trials of Cate McCall. Her 2003 appearance in Underworld was quickly followed by a starring role in Van Helsing. However, she didn't become well known until she appeared in the 2001 films Pearl Harbor and Serendipity. At the time, she was still a student at Oxford University, where she studied English, where she won writing awards in both fiction and poetry categories. It wasn’t that hard I feel like I’ve had such a long history with him.Beckinsale began her career by appearing in Much Ado About Nothing, a 1993 romantic comedy. So, I was so excited to have another go at being Brian’s daughter in a movie that was actually good . It was sort of a version of Hamlet that was dreadful, and Brian played my dad in that. I worked with him on a terrible movie, actually, with Christian Bale and Helen Mirren. ![]() I think my most thrilling theater experiences of my life have involved Brian. I saw Brian as Lear and Titus Andronicus, so I was a massive Brian Cox fan when I was, like, 14. My godfather is an actor called David Bradley, and he was in the Royal Shakespeare Company with Brian. For financial reasons, she ends up having to have a relationship with her dad again, sort of against her will. She knows he’s been in prison she wants nothing to do with him. ![]() I don’t think, at the beginning of the movie, she’s ever expecting to speak to him again. She’s struggling to pay the bills, she can’t afford medicine for her son’s epilepsy, and she hasn’t spoken to her father in years. ![]() She’s got a difficult relationship with the father of her child, who she’s no longer with her child has epilepsy. Maxine is someone who is very much struggling to keep afloat. How would you describe your character Maxine and her relationship with her father throughout the film? I thought it was just very profoundly moving, the relationships in the film. I thought it was quite old-fashioned in the sense that it just really exposed the things that kind of rock you, whether it’s one’s child being unwell or a parent having cancer or estrangement in the family - all those kinds of things and how people get on with their lives and then suddenly, everything comes to a head at once. There’s estrangement between the father and the daughter, and then everybody in the movie has got an unresolved pain that they’re just getting along with. It’s got a lot of difficult family things in it, which I feel is relatable to everybody. Why were you drawn to “Prisoner’s Daughter”? ![]()
