French actress Marion Cotillard had to master a Midwestern accent for the movie "Public Enemies."

She said it was the "hardest thing" she's ever had to do.

In the movie, she plays the love interest of John Dillinger, played by Johnny Depp. She spent four months working with a dialect coach to develop the accent.

Director Michael Mann had seen Cotillard's previous work, and knew she could handle it.

"I knew mechanically, with fantastic discipline, a great work ethic and just hard work, she will master the English," he said.

The movie also stars Christian Bale.

Kate Beckinsale has made quite a name for herself in the "Underworld" series of movies.

She now would like to don the skintight leather again-this time as Catwoman.

The next installment of the Christian Bale "Dark Knight" series is set to feature the character. Angelina Jolie is said to be favored to play the part.

Beckinsale claims she hasn't created a "massive game plan" for her career. She's also surprised to be considered for action roles; she considers herself to be a geek.
