Also in 2008 , Beckinsale starred in '' Nothing but the Truth '' as a journalist who refuses to reveal her source . The film , co‑starring Vera Farmiga and Matt Dillon , was inspired by the case of Judith Miller . As part of her research for the role , " I spent some time at '' The L.A. Times '' with some female reporters , and I spoke to Judith Miller about her experience .... I really researched the hell out of that one and it was an amazingly fulfilling , brilliant experience . " Ann Hornaday of '' The Washington Post '' asserted that Beckinsale and Farmiga played " two of the most fascinating female movie characters to hit screens in a long while , and they 've been brought to life by two gifted actresses , each working at the top of her game . " Beckinsale received a Critic 's Choice Award nomination for her performance . The film never received a full theatrical release after the distributor filed for bankruptcy and the film has grossed just $ 186,702 worldwide . " I have prayed — '' prayed '' — for film companies to go bankrupt on films I 've made , and then this happens on the one I love , " said Beckinsale . " Usually it 's the ones you 're most embarrassed about that are on the side of every bus . " In 2009 , Beckinsale starred in the comic-book adaption '' Whiteout '' , as a US Marshal tasked with investigating a murder in Antarctica . It was filmed in Manitoba , Canada . She found the action scenes less physically demanding than those in '' Underworld '' because " three pairs of trousers and a parka gives you a bit more protection than the latex suit . " The film was critically panned and a box office failure , failing to recoup its budget . With critics consensus : Beckinsale is the lovely as ever , and does her best with the material , but moribund pacing and an uninspired plot leave Whiteout in the cold . She also made a brief cameo in the prequel '' Underworld : Rise of the Lycans '' ; she appeared in flashforwards composed of footage from 2003 's '' Underworld '' . Also in 2009 , Beckinsale starred in the family drama '' Everybody 's Fine '' alongside Robert De Niro , Drew Barrymore , and Rockwell , her '' Snow Angels '' co-star . Beckinsale was excited by the opportunity to work with De Niro , whom she had first encountered " years and years ago when I just had Lily and he was putting together a reading of '' The Good Shepherd '' . " . '' Everybody 's Fine '' was a box office flop , failing to recoup its production budget . In May 2010 , Beckinsale sat on the nine-member 2010 Cannes Film Festival jury , chaired by director Tim Burton . Unable to find a script she felt passionate about , Beckinsale kept a low profile in 2010 and 2011 , opting to spend time with her daughter
