There are so many Total Recall clips, interviews, featurettes, and ads that I’m going to be lumping them into compilation posts.

Sorry for this being in three parts, but that is how the Kimmel Show’s YouTube account loads it.

Here is Kate on the Conan show.

As part of the publicity for Total Recall, Kate is on the cover of Allure, with pics and an interview inside. The magazine will hit stands on July 24. Here is an excerpt from the interview plus pics, courtesy of Allure.

On not feeling attractive until she was a 29-year-old:
“I didn’t feel very attractive as a child, and actually I wasn’t. Feeling attractive didn’t come until I was 29 and with [my husband] Len [Wiseman]. Maybe it has to do with not having had a dad. I’d never experienced a father saying, ‘Oh, you look good.’ If you have a good relationship with your dad, you have a chaperone in your own mind. I love my stepfather, but it’s different with a stepfather. I probably waited until I had that feeling with somebody who was so madly attracted to me that I could sort of relax and aim it at him. And then it kind of exploded, and all of a sudden I was the sexiest woman alive.”

On not getting caught up with having been named ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’:
“I think the risk of being the sexiest woman alive is that you don’t want to ever have sex again. You don’t want to wear a bikini again. You want to wear some nice overalls and a trucker’s hat. Anyway, you’re only that for a year, and then you’re done. You’re old news. I don’t know who it is right now, but it’s not me.”

On husband Len Wiseman:
“He’s a very gentle soul,” Beckinsale says of her husband, director Len Wiseman. “Everybody who’s worked with him is sort of astonished by what a sweetheart he is. He doesn’t yell. And, you know, directors of the kinds of movies he does normally have to yell at somebody just to blow off steam. I find it impressive that someone can have that much responsibility and pressure and never seem to take it out on somebody.”

On avoiding risque material for her daughter’s sake:
“Well, I haven’t done an awful lot of nude scenes. And I’ve been somebody who has had a child for a very long time. Most of my peers don’t have a 13-year-old. And it’s embarrassing. My daughter said to me, ‘You know, I’d really love it if you never said the word “vagina” in an interview again.’ Whoops. I’ve just done it.”

• On being beautiful: “Feeling attractive didn’t come until I was 29 and with Len. . . . At the time it was partly perceived as if I’d gone all Hollywood, but it wasn’t like that at all. It was just OK for me to walk around and feel feminine and attractive. I like feeling liberated like this.”
• On aging: “What is it about a woman being in her late 30s that brings out the ‘Oh, my gosh, are you worried?’ questions? Worried? What about? Thirty-eight, 39, 40, 50! Great! Still alive! It’s more of the thing of being embarrassing to somebody. I haven’t been embarrassing before. I can’t dance at a party where there are teenagers without clearing the dance floor. Those are the things that make me go, ‘F*ck, I’m old. . . .’ When you’re a parent, everyone leaves.”
• On her teenage daughter, Lily: “There are things I don’t want my daughter to ever know. I don’t want her to know about being betrayed. I remember Len talking to Bruce Willis when Len did Live Free or Die Hard, and I think Bruce did some terrifying things when his daughter started having a boyfriend. Len and I asked him, ‘When Lily starts having boyfriends, will you come over too? We’ll all stand on the doorstep, scare the sh*t out of them.’ But maybe now I don’t need Bruce. Now that I’m a villain, I can go solo.”

Kate and Len will be at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 13 to promote Total Recall during the Sony panel.

Kate will also be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on July 17.

Kate Beckinsale, who is known for her action film roles, has revealed that she would love to be offered more romantic comedy parts in the future if the scripts were funny enough.

The 38-year old actress also claimed that she would want to explore as many movie genres as possible.

“I haven’t done many romantic comedies because I’m a huge snob about comedy and I often don’t find them very funny,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Total Film magazine.

Beckinsale currently stars in Len Wiseman’s sci-fi remake ‘Total Recall’ with Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel and Bill Nighy.

She plays Lori, Colin’s feisty on-screen wife who helps him run from the police after a memory-altering procedure goes awry.

Kate is delighted with her new role and admitted that big blockbuster roles are few and far between.

“The ones that make you go, ‘Ooh, let me play that’ don’t come around every two weeks. I’ll go months, maybe even years where I don’t find something that I want to do,” she said.

“And sometimes you go, ‘Right that’s it, I can’t hibernate forever and you do something that isn’t your dream job, but gives you something that’s interesting,” she added.

Kate, Jessica Biel, and Colin Farrell are on the cover of the August Maxim. Here is an excerpt of the interview, with pictures:

Jessica on fighting Kate:
“Kate and I laughed about that one of a lot. We never get to fight women in our movies, so we never had hair to deal with. I’d fake-punch her, her here would go flying and get caught in my button, and I’d be stuck to her head.”

Kate on the public’s excitement over the return of ‘Total Recall’:
“I have been quite surprised about that, especially in the age of people watching porn on their cell phones. It seems like, if you wanted to, you could find a woman having sex with any kind of animal in about one second. At one point, when it looked like I wouldn’t be able to play Lori, I was going to do a cameo as the three breasted woman!”

On the sexiest word in the English language:
Kate: It’s not bollocks, that’s for sure. I think the sexiest word is yes.
Colin: [whispers] Softly.
Jessica: Hippopotamus.
Colin: That’s a good one. I put those together for an absolute instant orgasm, [whispers] “Yes. Softly, hippopotamus.”

Here’s a little video of Kate’s photo shoot for Women’s Health’s summer issue, with little tidbits of a video interview where she talks about being healthy and exercising.

A brand new theatrical trailer for Total Recall has just been released! How excited are you for this movie??
