Upcoming Underworld 3D movie to start new trilogy?

Upcoming \<i\>Underworld\<\/i\> 3D movie to start new trilogy?

With one released-out-of-order trilogy under its belt, comprising Underworld, Underworld: Evolution and the prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, Screen Gems might be gearing up to start a new Underworld trilogy, according to ShockTillYouDrop.

The new Underworld movie, now in development as a 3D release, could be the kick off for a new story arc centered around fan favorite Selene, the female vampire Death Dealer who had been an elite soldier in a centuries-long war between clans of vampires and werewolves.

There is no word yet on whether or not Kate Becksinsale will reprise her role as Selene.

The new 3D Underworld movie is scheduled for a January of 2011 release.

You're not getting my money unless Kate Becksinsale is playing Selene.

Dreck! Garbage! Banality!

Wow, great news! I cannot wait for it, and in 3D no less!!!

By Guido at 12:08 PM ON 08/11/09

No Kate as Selene, I'll not be seeing it.

By adamafan at 12:33 PM ON 08/11/09

Don't you guys remember? At the end of "Evolution," Seline was no longer a vampire cause she drank of Alexander's blood. She is beyond even Michael.

@ Adamafan

But the way they bring up her centuries long war with the werewolves, most likely it would take place between Rise of the Lycans and Underworld.

Think of it this way;

A lovely ballet ensues, so full of form and color. Now, think about all those people that create the sequals. Technicians, engineers, actors, hundreds of people, who will be able to feed their children tonight, so those children can grow up big and strong and have little teeny children of their own, and so on and so forth. Thus, adding to the great chain new Underworld Sequels!


And Agreed, No Kate, No way! (besides, what else does she have to do?)

Kate, and Speedman (they have good chemistry).

By General Urko at 6:05 PM ON 08/11/09

Yeah, this will be really lame if Kate is not attached.

If it's 3D I'm staying away from the movie

By fernando poo at 7:41 PM ON 08/11/09

you are all going to see it and you know it. $%&#ing morons.

By neo at 10:03 PM ON 08/11/09

ugh wasnt the 1st to movie pretty much centered around selene...i mean sure micheal popped up but the majority of the 1st 2 movies centered around her

By Scott at 11:53 PM ON 08/11/09

@ JT

The 5th Element, Gary Oldman (Zorg) - great flick!

And I'm with most of you - Kate IS Selene (and the black leather outfit, with the long zippered front, did things to me that I can't reveal here...)

By Only 1 Selene at 8:39 AM ON 08/12/09

I echo - - ONLY Kate can play Selene . . . she is the ONLY reason I saw ANY of the Underworld pics.

NO KATE, NO MONEY!!!

NO KATE, NO MONEY!!!

Please no 3D Underworld.Why in mess-up a film series by adding 3D.
Underworld is one of best original film expereneces ever made a 3D version will hurt it.

By Captain Untouchable at 6:00 AM ON 08/14/09

Uh... wasn't the trilogy that's been out already pretty focused on Selene? Or was I dreaming when I noticed her being the central focus of Underworld and Evolution

By davidh at 5:12 PM ON 08/14/09

will not watch unless is continuation of the selene and micheal storyline, for them the future looks amazing!

By leo at 1:18 AM ON 08/15/09

i could do without the 3d, but as long as they do another underworld im cool with that.

By isky at 1:12 AM ON 08/17/09

Kate's OK - but I thought that Rhona Mitra kicked her butt right, left and center. I hope they cast as well for this one (Kate OR no-Kate)

By Death Dealer at 2:08 AM ON 08/23/09

I agree, Kate HAS TO BE IN THIS FLICK or it will flop.

By CaericElRoi at 11:09 PM ON 11/27/09

I think a great 3d feature would feature both Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman... perhaps entailing what happens now that she's a daywalker... or perhaps something in between RoTL and Underworld, find a young talent to play a young Selene and then have Kate for the 2nd half of the movie or so 2/3rds... I believe I read somewhere though that Kate was attached to star in this...
