With Sony Screen Games and Lakeshore Entertainment teaming up once again for a third leather-bound trip to the Underworld, many questions have surfaced, specifically regarding the "quality" of the film. Will it be direct-to-video (we already confirmed no), will it have any major stars (they cast Rhona Mitra) and lastly will it have a big budget? The latter was just confirmed today as a reports came in from the set in New Zealand confirming what we had suspected. Read on for details.

Sci Fi Pi (what the hell is that?) reports, “We can confirm that the production values of sets and costumes are extremely high, the story is bold and the pedigree is pure,” they continue, “The sets are immense… Cool things to get excited about are new and sexy vampire armor, Mitra in kickass form, big battles and a bold and brutal style to the film that pays homage to the original flicks, but takes the Underworld saga into new territory.”

If you checked out DOOMSDAY this past weekend you got to see Mitra in action, and surly she'll be a kickass addition to the third epic battle between the vampires and werewolves.

Directed by Patrick Tatopoulos, the prequel is set in the Dark Ages and traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires and their one-time werewolf slaves, the Lycans.

	TheDeadMayTasteBad 12:53am, March 19, 2008 Speaking of typecasting, Rhona Mitra looks like Kate Beckinsale's long lost clone.
	jasonlives1986 12:57am, March 19, 2008 Only not as good, she has the manly side down a bit more. This is great news if you like actresses who have no range or depth like in Doomsday, they should get the dude who played Sol into this, he stole that movie.
	Mr.Paradise 6:34am, March 19, 2008 Rhona Mitra kicked ass in Doomsday. She's up there with Uma as the best female action hero since Sigourney Weaver as Ripley. So, yea, she's better than Beckinsale.
	djblack1313 3:13pm, March 19, 2008 i'm w/ you Mr. Paradise. i LOVED Rhona in Doomsday (well, in pretty much anything! LOL). she's going to be an awesome Sonja in Underworld 3.
	CJ_01976 4:55pm, March 19, 2008 Get Beckinsale back, Mitra sucks.
	darkdescent 4:55pm, March 19, 2008 I was planning to pass on Rise of the Lycans but now i have a reason to watch it after all.
	sardu 6:17pm, March 19, 2008 Both are hot, stop yer bitching
	Trioxin83 6:16pm, March 20, 2008 @ CJ_01976 - they cant have Beckinsale be in underworld 3 as it is a prequel. She was still a mortal at the time this movie and story is taking place
