Underworld 4 Gets Underway

New Moon [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/96279-Twilight-Sequel-Breaks-Records] isn't the only vampire flick in town it seems as work begins on the fourth installment in the Underworld series.

Studio Screen Gems has hired writer John Hlavin, whose credits consist mainly of occasional television work, to write the script for a fourth Underworld movie. Details are thin on the ground, but Hlaven has confirmed that the movie will not be another prequel like Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.

"It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences," he said, "meaning that we don't want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements."

Sources disagree whether Kate Beckinsale, who starred in the first two movies, will be reprising her role of Selene, with some saying yes and others saying no. No director is attached to the project, with Len Wiseman said to be producing. The movie will apparently be in 3D and is scheduled for a January 2011 release.

I'll be honest, what I'm really interested in is what the movie will be called. Might I suggest "Underworld: By Crom Not Another One"?

I've heard of 2, but never knew there was 3... Are these straight to video?

sounds good, as long as their is vampires behaveing like vampires (killing, drinking blood, beating the shit out of things with super strength) I'll go see it.

I'm not overly keen on Underworld either, but at least the Vampires ARE actually Vampires in that. Wow i hope it kicks New Moons sparkly bum.

Well, I enjoyed the prequel since it gave me depth to where all this drama came from. The second one was fun for me. I am a tad apprehensive since there is a new guy running the show, meaning the previous guy/girl/whatever wasn't interested.

If they can't bag Kate for the proper role, I will only watch it after it becomes something bargain bin.

"Number 3" was actually a prequel. Rise of the Lychens or something

No they were in the cinemas. I don't think there was a lot of hype though, however i may have lived under a rock throughout that period.

3 was actually titled "Rise of the Lycans".

I have it on blu-ray - it's not horrible.
And the lead looks uncannily like Simon Pegg.

Wow i hope it kicks New Moons sparkly bum.

In quality it most likely will.But in sales,it's fucked.

Yeah, It was all about the werewolf bloke that got merced in the first one. Which kinda made you realize why they were at war and that he wasn't a douchebag.

 

[Ryuk2]

I saw only the first one, thought that it was kind of normal and that's all. I have never heard that there are sequels.... I'm not going to see it.

Oh theres no doubt the sales are going to be way under what New Moon is getting. Unfortunately. We can still hope.

Interesting. I mean, it's pretty obvious that they're just trying to milk a little bit of cash out of the Twilight demographic, but that's not a bad thing. As long as they don't resort to dumb gimmicks, I'm sure this movie will be fin...

...the movie will apparently be in 3D...

[HEADING=2]WHAT???[/HEADING]

 

[RanD00M]

We can still hope.

Or we can do something about it...Like tell people about it and make death threats.

Underworld is a great series. Numbers one and two were full of good action, shooting and sword violence. The 3rd one or the prequel give more story to all the flashbacks the first two kept showing so i'm ready to see how they're going to continue it. But in 3D come one folks when has a live action movie set to a 3d style ever worked........

 

[laura3lizab3th]

make death threats.

Of course, that will work. For the sanity of the human race you MUST see Underworld. Drive the Twihard fans into hiding with there sparkly disillusioned ideas of what vampires are.

Or else we'll nuke em.
