There have been a few movie franchises that have returned to end their run, most notably the Resident Evil franchise. Now, another has entered the fray. Remember Underworld? I hadn't given those movies much thought until this past weekend when, I think it was FX but I might be wrong, ran three of the Underworld movies over the Labor Day Weekend. I have to admit, it was a lot of fun to watch these movies again. The sad thing is that I own the first two on DVD, and I haven't watched them in ages, but when it was on TV and edited for television? I couldn't stop watching them!
But like I said, there is a new chapter to the Underworld series that will be coming out next year called Underworld: Blood Wars. The trailer looks like the classic films in tone and photography. Returning is Kate Beckinsale (the hottest vampire to ever grace the silver screen...and yes, that includes Twilight!) A war is about to rage between the vampires and the lycans (a.k.a. "werewolves") and our heroine Selene is caught in the middle of it. It should be noted that there will be one major change to the franchise...Trent Garrett has been hired to replace Scott Speedman as Michael, Selene's love interest. Also joining the franchise is Theo James (Divergent) as David, Selene's protege, who was introduced in Underworld: Awakenings. Also joining the cast are two Game of Thrones actors, Charles Dance and Tobias Menzies, so if you're going through withdraw from not being able to see any new episodes, then this should help you get your fix.
So what do you think about a new Underworld movie coming out? Are you excited, or do you think that they waited too long to give it to us? If you think the latter, just a head's up...there's plans to bring us a new Shanghai Noon movie called Shanghai Dawn, and it starts filming early next year! Anyway, I digress...what do you think about this movie? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
Underworld: Blood Wars hits theaters on January 6, 2017.
