"One Fine Day", released in 1996, also has a scene in the restaurant, featuring the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. "Trust the Man", released in 2006, includes a scene of David
Kate Beckinsale in the action horror film "Van Helsing". She was "so surprised" to be appearing in her second action film in two years. "It just seemed like a very good role." Beckinsale had just separated from her long-term boyfriend Michael Sheen at the time of filming and appreciated the warm atmosphere created on set by director Stephen Sommers and co‑star Hugh Jackman: "I really did find that working with people like Stephen and Hugh made it possible to get through what I was going through." The film grossed over $120 million at the US box office and over $300 million worldwide,
