Love & Friendship


Love & Friendship Movie CLIP - Disaster (2016) - Kate Beckinsale, Chloƫ Sevigny Movie HD

Besides X-Men and Alice, theres also Love & Friendship at the box office this weekend. Thats Kate Beckinsales new comedy set in 18th century England. Decos good friend, Chris Van Vliet has all the lovely deets.

Lynn, Shireen in Love & Friendship, Kate Beckinsale is a woman of high society and questionable virtue. It may be a mans world but Kate plays by her own rules.

Love & Friendship is based on an early work by legendary English author Jane Austen. Kate Beckinsale is Lady Susan Vernon, dodging rumors of her many affairs. The lady could be bitter and cold, but shes not.

Kate Beckinsale: In that my character is quite naughty and ruthless and manipulative and cunning and actually, the whole movie is sort of not what you expect cause its very, very funny.

It didnt take much to get Kate to commit to the role. It was love at first sight.

Kate Beckinsale: I love the characters where youre looking at them on the page going Oh my goodness, I cant believe shes doing this stuff, yet at the same time, youre also applauding her for her spirit and all that. Im attracted to those kind of characters.

Lady Susans views on love and marriage seem very modern but thats not the case, says the woman whos come to know her quite well.

Kate Beckinsale: She is of her time. Shes very much observant of all the social codes and conditions. Its just that shes found very clever ways to kind of subvert them and kind of squeak past them.

Chlo Sevigny plays Ladys Susans close friend, Alicia Johnson. The two worked together on The Last Days of Disco back in 1998, so Love & Friendship was a reunion for them.

Kate Beckinsale: There wasnt this kind of gulf of several decades in between. We did sort of quite easily fall back into a fairly familiar pattern with each other, which was lovely.

Dressing up in 18th century clothing was part of the job for Kate on this film, and it took a bit of getting used to.

Kate Beckinsale: Its quite difficult walking around in those costumes, especially if the doorways very wide. I had some outrageous hats on quite a lot, so you know, youd have to devise a sort of special technique to get through doors sideways.

You can find Love & Friendship in theaters now. And if youre going to have a celebrity crush, do they get any better than Kate Beckinsale? Kate Hot-insale as I like to call her? Isnt she the best??
