I put “Much Ado About Nothing” in the DVD player (incidentally my favorite Kenneth Branagh movie) and for shits and giggles watched the Theatrical Trailer before I started the movie. As the voice over announcer is listing to the cast he reaches the last main character and says, “and introducing Kate Beckinsale as Hero”.

Insert Josh doing a massive double take here.

So basically the actress whose ass in skin tight leather makes the Underworld series so damn enjoyable for me, got her Hollywood start in one of my all time favorite Theatrical adaptations of one of Shakespeare’s plays. Small world.

As another interesting footnote (quit groaning), this is the last movie Branagh did with his then wife Emma Thompson. They later divorced. Branagh briefly dated Helena Bohma Carter after his divorce. All three stars have roles in the Harry Potter series (Thompson-Sybil Trelawney, Branagh-Gilderoy Lockhart, Carter-Bellatrix Lestrange).

Another interesting footnote, Branagh and Thompson both remarried (different people) in 2003 and are still married to their respective partners.

Ok, I’m done with my weird coincidences.
