This evening the trailer has leaked online for Lakeshore Entertainment and Sony Screen Gems' Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans, the franchises third werewolf vs vampire pic that arrives in theaters January 23, 2009. You can check out the low quality video inside. 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.
this is one of the movies i'm MOST excited about seeing. this footage/trailer looks AWESOME! i didn't think i'd be into it as much without Kate, but i know think it's going to RULE! plus the addition of Rhona Mitra as Sonja just makes it that much better (IMO).
To hell with Kate. I'm just glad that Michael Sheen came back!!! He was the best thing about the first film and the 2nd was MAJOR lacking without him (although I did enjoy Kraven dying). He's an actual ACTOR and Lucien was a great character.
And the Raz is back and with Nighy on board as Viktor this is going to be the best movie of the three. I'm freaking stoaked.
I really really hope this is more than just another exposition of how much more the film makers like vampires than werewolves. Seriously, watching the first two and seeing the werewolves get annihilated made no sense the way they are set up these films. They make the werewolves insanely strong and powerful, much more so than the Vampires, but they get f'd in the a every time they cross paths. When you make a movie like this, you have to balance it out. Especially when you're trying to make the Vampires the bad guys...
For what quality the video was, the trailer was actually pretty good. (Though it was pretty easy to see the CGI wolves that are a WIP)
I can say I do like how the pratical wolves turned out, though I will also say I'm still more excited for the Wolf Man remake over this.
CasioArgento: I agree. Underworld easily has some of the worst werewolves in history, but I think this movie improved the look a bit . . . a little bit.
whats with everyone being like oh thank god no kate beckinsale- you know you would all kill your own mothers for her
