Selene is Back for Third Underworld

Source:ShockTillYouDrop.com
January 7, 2009


In a sense. Today, ShockTillYouDrop.com had the opportunity to swing on down to Luma Pictures in Venice, California where director Patrick Tatopoulos previewed a number of scenes from his upcoming Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. While there, we got to talking with one crew member who revealed the threequel will open and close with Selene (as played by Kate Beckinsale). When asked if it was new footage, we were told it was a scene from Len Wiseman's 2003 Underworld that will be used to bookend the film. So this next installment will not be Beckinsale-less after all. Stay tuned for more on our visit to Luma in the coming days!

...rehashed footage...thats so dumb. was it that impossible for her to come in and do a cameo or something...for god sakes her husband created the trilogy.

"...rehashed footage...thats so dumb."

I personally think it's a good idea. It more smoothly blends the prequel into the storyline of parts 1 & 2. I would have liked to see new footage of Beckinsale but it doesnt bother me that much.

wow. that's really stupid. what a waste of time. if she wasn't going to do a cameo there was NO point in her being in this film.

I agree. **** or get off the pot, Kate.


Posted by: Joe on January 8, 2009 at 01:02:52

Lame, Kate made this ****. Rona Mitra dont have **** on Kate.

this movie will be good. i wonder if i'll be able to recognise the scene. i usally spot scenes in movies that are similar to previous movie scenes.

Wonder how much she's getting paid for re-hashed footage


Posted by: Dylansdad on January 8, 2009 at 13:36:27

You wonder if you'll be able to spot the scene?

Umm, it'll be the one with Kate in it.

So long as this means that they'll do a fourth one that shows the true conclusion of the war, with Selene and Michael bringing it about, I'll be happy.

As for RotL itself, I'm optimistic about it. The last two have been good, and despite the change in directors (which usually makes me very apprehensive), the trailers and pictures make me feel as though this film is on the right track.

I have no problem with Selene being in the film via footage left on the cutting-room floor. They did it with Marlon brando in Superman Returns. I just hope if they decide to make a fourth film, Kate Beckingsale and Scott Speedman will come back for another film.

After this they should have a fourth underworld because in Underworld they shown 3 ancestors. One is Victor, and two is Marcus. There is one more and they havent unveiled yet.
But it'll be cool if they show a prologue of da fourth film because that will be surprising and outstanding idea.

The third is the ancestor to Micheal Corvin and is dead.

Oh sorry i misread your quote. Yeah didnt notice that before.


Posted by: assassin-x on January 8, 2009 at 21:58:48

no it was not the ancestor of Micheal because he was the father of the vamps and the Lycans. He married a mortal women which gave birth to 3 kids the third being a mortal boy.

The third was the vampire in the train that was gunned down before she could replace Marcus.

Watch the films again.


Posted by: supercraiger on January 8, 2009 at 23:17:00

3rd ancestor gunned down in a train? what are you two talking about?

You're referring to the 3 rulers of the Vampire clan:
Marcus: the first vampire.
Victor: a former king turned vamp by Marcus.
Emilia: vampire, original unknown, killed in the original Underworld on the train by Lycans as her processional arrived to take over reign of the clan (appeared in Underworld 2 at Victor's side during the opening raid)

There were three direct descendants of Alexander Corvinus (the first immortal): one bitten by bat (Marcus), one bitten by Wolf (William), and a third unnamed who was Micheal Corvin's direct lineage (carrying the pure immortal viral strain).

I can't believe how geeked out that was. d'oh... You should watch again anyways, if nothing else to get pumped for part trois in two weeks.

Glad to Katey is making a comeback :) New footage, old footage - its still Kate Beckinsale in skintight black rubber, are we forgotting this?


Posted by: joe asylo on January 9, 2009 at 00:45:02

well i can expect anything for this film.


Posted by: assassin-x on January 12, 2009 at 14:26:23

sorry thats what i meant


Posted by: russell on January 13, 2009 at 03:12:29

If kate is not in is in this one, it seems dumb as hell to see it, why mess up a perfect show. This ruins the idea of a PERFECT TRILOGY or quadgolgy uuhhh


Posted by: ico on January 13, 2009 at 04:16:08

What does everybody keep complaining about? It was always planned for Selene to not be in this movie. It takes place before her time. They've planned this series out from parts 1 to 3.
