Kate Beckinsale has revealed that she and Jessica Biel engage in a no-holds barred cat-fight in director Len Wiseman’s upcoming remake of Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 sci-fi classic Total Recall. The British stunner, who can be seen this month in Screen Gems Underworld: Awakening, plays Lori Quaid.
She tells Collider:
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.
Lori, if you recall, is wife to Doug Quaid, a man who is either a humble factory worker with a memory implant or a wanted super-spy. The part was memorably played in the original film by a then up-and-coming Sharon Stone.
While we all know a “proper fight” between attractive women should involve pillows, mud or Jell-O, Beckinsale’s fight scene with Biel, who plays resistance fighter Melina, sounds promising, especially by the looks of the wardrobe (click here and here).
Total Recall arrives in theaters on Aug. 3.
