I kinda stopped keeping track of the UNDERWORLD movies roughly half-way through the first one.
This said, it’s been fun seeing the slick franchise flourish - and at some point I’ll likely catch up with the films they’ve made thus far. I mean, if they have Bill Nighy in ‘em, I’m totally game.
“I’ll likely catch up with the films they’ve made thus far…” Thus far. Yeah. Because a fifth one is on its way. And Beckinsale is back as Vampire babe Selene.
Directing the movie is Anna Foerster, who has done second-unit work and was Roland Emmerich’s right-hand woman as the director of photography on such movies as The Day After Tomorrow and White House Down.
The plot...
...is said to focus on a new and younger generation of vampires and werewolves who are locked in a seemingly never-ending battle between supernatural races.
[EDIT]
Theo James, who appeared briefly in 2012’s Underworld: Awakening, is attached to reprise his character as he fulfills an option agreement
...says THIS piece over at THR.
No word on an exact release date for this one, but it’s due to roll later this year, so one would expect it to emerge late in 2016 or so.
