Kate Beckinsale may be from the UK, but you wouldn’t know it from her IMDB page. Unlike everyone else with a British accent, since hitting it big she’s mostly avoided their national obsession by being one of the few Brit actresses not to play some sort of princess or queen. That may be about to change.

OK! claims she’s “lined up” to play Princess Margaret in The Princess and the Gangster, a movie about the royal’s love affair with notorious gangster John Bindon. They allegedly met on a Caribbean getaway in 1968 and the press went nuts with tales of wild sex, though Princess Margaret denied meeting him.

OK! claims the movie is being written by Louis Mellis, the mind behind Ray Winstone’s Sexy Beast. This story has actually been told before, in a 2009 BBC TV movie of the same name. Not surprising, given the British fixation on their royal family.

— Oh boy! This sounds like a great film. I can’t wait to hear more, can you guys?

Everything wasn’t fine for Everybody’s Fine at the box office, but the movie is getting another go-around on DVD. On February 23rd Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will try to warm your heart by making Everybody’s Fine available to own.

When his children bail on a family reunion at the last minute, recent widower Frank (Robert De Niro) decides to pay them each a visit. During his effort to reconnect with his family, Frank finds out that the joyful and happy lives they’ve told him about aren’t entirely accurate.

With a cast including De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Sam Rockwell, and Kate Beckinsale, Everybody’s Fine is a DVD that’ll be hard to pass up. The disc will cost you $29.99 and comes with some deleted and extended scenes, as well as “The Making of Paul McCartney’s ‘(I Want to) Come Home.’” Oddly, there’s no Blu-ray addition to trade in more cash for more material. Of course, Everybody’s Fine isn’t the type of film you must see in the clarity of Blu-ray, but it is odd for a wide-release film not to be available on both formats.
