Kate Beckinsale Discusses New Role in Amanda Knox Movie

Kate Beckinsale kisses her co-star Daniel Bruhl on the cheek while filming a scene for their new film The Face Of An Angel in the Piazza del Popolo on Monday (November 11) in Rome, Italy.

The 40-year-old actress plays a journalist in the movie surrounding the true-life case of Amanda Knox, a student who was convicted of the murder of Meredith Kercher several years ago.

“The script was not what I was expecting. Playing a bright woman is always a relief. I try to change tack often between big splashy action movies and smaller independent films,” Kate told The Telegraph. “You won’t see characters called Amanda Knox and Meredith Kercher. It’s certainly not a judgement of innocence or guilt – it’s more about the people who created the media circus surrounding the case.”

FYI: Kate is carrying a Trussardi shopping bag and Daniel is wearing Trussardi pants.
