Beckinsale interested in Underworld Sequel
[Movie News]
Kate Beckinsale in an article with MTV.com expressed an interest in reprising her vampiric role from Underworld.

"I would love to do it again, I had an amazing experience on this movie. I think that when you push yourself beyond what you think your limits are it's a really profound kind of life experience. And I had an amazing time on this.""If Len [Wiseman] directed [a sequel], I would do it," she said.
"I'm actually not a big vampire movie fan," Beckinsale said. "I was really drawn to it by the fact that it's a great action movie, [with] a female lead like 'La Femme Nikita.' I think there is something really cool about seeing a woman kick ass, whether you're a man or a woman. For a woman it's kind of empowering, but for a man it's kind of hot."

peta wilson can kick jennifer garner's ass!

Film Roar: Whitewolf Sues Over Underworld
Posted by: Leopoldo on September 8, 2003 08:59 PMNot to spoil the movie for anyone, but there were some elements in the movie which opens the door to a sequel. First, as seen in the commercials, Lucian (Lycan leader) says that they'll "defeat the vampires on their own ground" which they never did. The whole battle took place on Lycan grounds. Second, at the end, Selene talked about another vampire elder (other than Viktor), Marcus, to be awoken. If the sequel is made, I hope they concentrate more on the Lycans this time around. I felt the director, writer, editor, or whatever favored the vampires more. For every half hour vampire scenes, there was a ten minute Lycan scene.
Posted by: Wolfie on September 22, 2003 04:59 PMA review of the movie is now posted at:
Posted by: Leopoldo on September 22, 2003 06:34 PMThe reason there was more Vampire material was because the plot revolved around the vampires. The awaking of Viktor was a major plot point, and the whole twist in the story was because of betrayal in the Vampire Coven.
Posted by: Rob on September 22, 2003 06:34 PMIt was entertaining, but not as good as it could have been. The vampires were definitely alot weaker than they could have been, i.e., without guns, they were no match for the Lycans.
Posted by: Steve on September 23, 2003 01:03 PMA new set of Underworld pictures just posted to:
Film Roar: Underworld Wolf and Fang Pictures
And includes some of the images that people have asked for.
I dont know about this lawsuit bussiness but the sony simply took a good idea that has been around for a long time that is really a public domain, as stated, and created probably one of, if not the best, vampire movie to be released. I saw this movie the first day and since that day i have seen it four more times...as for the sequel...I think that without a doubt their is definate potential for one. I even heard a rumor that the contracts have already been signed and that the sequel is a go. But the real question, I think, is weather or not Marcus will be half vampyre, half lychan in the new movie. I have debated this subject over and over again with many of my friends and i believe that it is IMPOSSIBLE for him to be both since he was already a vampyre...(as stated by one of the lychan members in the movie) As for Kate Beckinsale...all i can say is "OMG" i would let her bite me any day. Underworld in general has become my favorite movie of all time.
Posted by: Triliatarian on September 28, 2003 01:32 AMDude that artworks cool!
Posted by: Jen on September 28, 2003 07:47 AMWow, that artwork is amazing! Any more? hehe.
Posted by: Xeth on September 29, 2003 01:35 PMI loved that movie, they had better make a sequel
to it Kate Beckinsale is extremely hot in that
movie. The lycans were cool to I liked the
whole story with The Corvinus strain.
underworld was a tight ass movie, every one ,and i mean every one should go see it. not only caise kate beckinsale in freakin' hot, but that she is a vampire , and the eyes(contacts) are so awsome, plus the special effects are super fantastic. I really do think that they should make a sequel to the Underworld. I would be really awsome. But ya gotta love her outfit, it is skin tight , but looks even better on kate. And her over coat(trench coat)was sweet. I think i might go buy one
Posted by: justin on September 30, 2003 06:05 PMI'm more interested seeing the secquel of this movie. wana know what will happen to the lycans now that they no longer have a leader. Now that michael is a cross-breed immortal (having the same powers of a vampire and a lycan), what's going to be the implication to both the vampire and lycan. does this mean a new race, a blood line of vampire/lycan. about Marcus, the only one left of the elders, is he more powerful than Viktor. really i'm in agog. This movie is really one of the best that i have ever seen.
Posted by: donateli Piarantoni on October 1, 2003 11:20 PMI LOVED UNDERWORLD.
Making a sequel to Underworld would be great, I and all of my friends love the first one. The story line is too great to abandon, and there is so much more to be told about this story. You could really go somewhere with this........
-blake
ok wolfie is right,
1. (kate beckinsale is hot as hell)
2. (too much left unsaid)(which is good because I want there to be a sequel.)
3. (the half lycan half vampire thing was kickass)
4. Basically the whole movie was done in excellence, and unless you are physically disabled, and can not make it to the movie theatre, then you should go see it.
-blake
i agree with blake
Posted by: coolio on October 4, 2003 07:47 PMUnderworld rocks!
I have seen plenty og good movies but this one blows them away. Kate Beckingsale is very pretty. I hope they will make a sequel. I loved how the lycans could crawl on walls. The vampires were also cool. A comment on what Steve said, they were only running from Raze but he is a big a$$ mother F*****. who wouldent run away from him. You saw how selene just threw michael up onto the wall with ease. With Raze gone i think that the sequel will show a lot more hand to hand combat. As to what Triliatarian said about Marcus. Well that is a good question because Selene said that no one has survived a bite from both species and Marcus was awoken with lycan blood. The one scientist lycan who Viktor killed. Last I also agree with Triliatarian said, i would let selene(Beckingsale) bite me any day! The movie was a masterpeice and not making a second would cause alot of comotion. I know this sounds crazy but I think it compares with the matrix movies. Of course that will only be if they make a second or even a third. This is my favorite movie. I might buy some cloths from the movie. This is a great movie. If they dont make a second then im gonna go nuts. If anyone wants to talk about the movie or so,ethin else my email is
ramgolan@earthlink.net
This movie rocks!!!
Posted by: Ram on October 7, 2003 02:26 PMnyone wanna talk bout the movie my email is
ramgolan@earthlink.net
I assume that Marcus will indeed be half and half (an Abomination is the proper term) because it showed his eyes turning black at the end. And in response to Triliatarian, Viktor stated that Marcus was a decendant of Corvinus, and therefore he would be able to support both species successfully. And yup, a sequel would be awesome.
P.S. Did anyone else know that Kate smokes? I find it kind of a turn off...
Posted by: Strix Varia on October 18, 2003 01:13 AMwow strix. nice research now i remeber. And about his eyes. Viktors were black too. I think it is becauase he needed time to get the blood all through his body. And a sequel would be kool. Too bad Kate smokes. Maybe shell stop. i hope so. And ive found out something from readin the book. I was kind of confused because there were three circles in that one room but now i know. one circle was labeled M (marcus( the other V (viktor) and the last A (amelia). And who knows maybe Amelia was strong like Viktore. I mean it look ed like there were 5 werewolves (fully transformed). So maybe thats how they killed her. And ive found out (from the book too) that vampires could take on werewolves hand to hand just not fully transformed werewolves. Also i was also confused at the begining it showed 2 vampires and the Rigel gets shot with the ultraviolet bullet and dies but then it shows Raze fighting some vampire. So i found out the other one was name Nathaniel and he was a lookout an dwhen he heard the gunshots he came to help. Reading the book really helps. So if anybody has some questions im all ears. hears my email.
ramgolan@earthlink.net
Another thing for Steve.Vampires could take on werewolves that werent fully transformed. And if the werewolves got hit by silver bullets and got a bit of silver in there blood like Trix(the werewolve selene shot that had to run and pull the bullet out), then they couldent transform for a while. Ok people read the book. It explains a lot about the characters and whats happenin and things like that. SO u guys should really look into it.
Posted by: Ram on October 18, 2003 11:18 AMWhat book are you referring to? Have they already come out with an Underworld novel, or is it just a book about the making of the film?
Posted by: Strix Varia on October 18, 2003 01:22 PMi dont care if kate smokes. shes still hot. o ya, and i was confused about the end, it was so abrupt. i didnt understand if they were going to rule the vampire coven, the werewolves den, or neither. so whoever is reading the book please help me out.
Posted by: blake on October 18, 2003 04:14 PMWell im not done with the book but ill tell u i am. Its a movie tie in. Its basicly the movie except theres some additional parts like in all movie tie in books. ANd for Blake. Well im sure the werewolves will joinselene and micheal but Marcus and the other vampires will try to hunt the werewolves selene and micheal down. In the second movie, i wonder who will win. It seems evenliy matched.
Posted by: Ram on October 19, 2003 02:34 PMYa kate is still hot but it would be kooler if she stopped smokin.LORD WHAT IF SHE DIES BEFORE THEY MAKE THE SECOND!
Posted by: Ram on October 19, 2003 03:27 PMi think that we should make a website so that we can communicate more freely among ourselves Ram. Or at least exchange Screen names. I have AIM and MSN messenger, my msn is bkbii@hotmail.com
my AIM is killinseason2003
my email is bkbii@AOL.COM
anyway as you can see, i am obsessed with this movie and i think we should make some contact outside of this web-page with eachother, and others who would want to talk about Underworld.

p.s. if u dont have MSN messenger, its free. go to MSN.com and look for the file, you can download it, and its safe.

Posted by: Strix Varia on October 21, 2003 08:24 PMMan Underworld so kicked ass. This is like a new era of gothic movies. I hope more vampire movies come out, 'cause like the war against vampires is never over!!!!
Posted by: David on October 23, 2003 08:51 AMi've never been much of a writer, and its very hard to say how i feel about this movie.
because if someone told me, that if i shot myself, and i would come back as a vampire OR Lycan, then i would do it. (ofcourse, i would really have to believe this person, they would have to make it sound really convincing.)

ok every1. I finished the book. And to quote the epilogue in the back.
Hours passed in the silent cript. The body of the lycan scientist Singe had grown stiff with rigor mortis but his immortal blood continued to creep slowly across the marble floor of the underground chamber, threading its way throught the intricate design containing the sacred tombs of the elders.
The sanguinary passed by Viktor's empty niche, then Amelia's. Yet, with preverse inevitability, it came to rest atop the polished bronze plaque bearing the sculptered letter M.
For Marcus.
Rivulets of lycan blood seeped through the edges of the burnished hatch,slithering downward into the sepulchral cavity where Marcus, the last surviving elder, hung upside down inside his tomb,like a slumbering vampire bat. The energizing blood poured over Marcus's emaciated frame, streaming down his skeletal body until it reached the thin, withered lips of a skull like face.
Minutes passed, until a dormant heart began to beat with growing strength. A sigh escaped the parched red lips, and a pair of hungry eyes awakened deep within the sunken recesses of their matching sockets.
Jet-black eyes, just like Michael Corvin's had become.
Hybrid eyes.
Good job strix. I guess you were right. I copied that from the book. I gguess Marcus is a hybrid now. See people find the book and read it. It's good you'll love it. Peace
-Ram
Yeah, I bought the book a few days ago, but I haven't started it yet because I'm in the middle of something else. Also, for those who are going to buy it as well, give yourself ample time to finish it so you are ready for Book 2 that is being released May 1, 2004. Hurrah.
Posted by: Strix Varia on October 25, 2003 12:49 PMThis movie wants me to commit suicide. But in a good way.........? lol. i confuse myself, but its so true.
-blake
Don't do it though. LOL
Cause you know nothing would really happen.
yo dude, im not retarded you know.
i would wait until i was already going to die or something to kill myself. lol

UNDERWORLD ROCKS.
KLFDJKLjkndnjnbnfbn
just a question. If the moon gets light from the sun. Well the sun's light reflects from the moon so wouldent vampires die.? just wonderin.
Posted by: Ram on November 3, 2003 09:44 PMI doubt it. It's not really direct sunlight. We see the light reflect of the moon in the same way that we are able to see anything we see. You don't see you're shirt, you see the light reflecting off of it. I only think death occurs in the direct light of the sun.
Posted by: Strix Varia on November 4, 2003 08:13 PMnever thought about it like that but it makes sense. Hmm thnx.
Posted by: Ram on November 11, 2003 05:55 PMI just posted some info on the Underworld sequel at
Film Roar: Len Wiseman Talks About Underworld Sequel
Posted by: Leopoldo on November 13, 2003 11:28 AMThe movie is awesome! Prolly the best I've ever seen. I've actually seen several times and I haven't still had enough of it, maybe because the plot gives you more and more every time. Like said earlier, it would be a disaster if there isn't gonna be a sequel. Though, it's kinda sure there will. I've even read that Underworld is gonna be trilogy and the third part will actually be prequel. And like blade said, I've been thinking some weird things after this movie for a couple of days. Dunno why? Anyway, let's keep posting, the movie deserves it!

dear people
i love underworld i thought it had everything action and love it was good i loved that selen wiped there butt all on her own she is cool she is cool with her guns like a girl blade i love the guy from felicity wow he is cute
Posted by: aura on January 8, 2004 12:09 PMI just finished watching underworld for the second time today *L* Awesome movie. I'm ecstatic that there is serious talk of a sequel, but I think it will only be as good the original if the same people come back to play the main characters.
Posted by: Skye on January 9, 2004 09:18 PMunderworld is a cool movie,the actuation is good.I thing that actuation of kate beckingsale,erika,amelia,kraven,lucian,viktor and scott speedman is great because the stunts and the positions of kate and michael are so grate. bay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ilove underworld
this is my ultimate questions.you are gonna by a second part of underworld?I gonna wait your questions selene child of victor.ohhhh!!!!! last questions please you can give me a cloth of underworld for my birthday on august 6,i leave in puerto rico uu9 street yunquesito mansions of carolina.I have 10 years old y am 4 feet 6 inches bay!!!!!!! Y love old of you
ok lil dude. First selene is not voktors daughter but he took her in after he slaughtered her family...Second if the make a sequel which is highly probable, it will have some of the same characters. Kraven selene michael and marcus are a sure thing. But i think it will have other people.
Posted by: Ram on January 14, 2004 12:56 PMHey everyone. I, too, totally agree w/ most here: Underworld is awesome! I just picked up my pre-ordered DVD this week and I can't stop watching it! I love to, for once, see a vampire movie (not to mention a werewolf movie) that's not just a no-plot bunch of gore. I love that Selene and Michael actually have some depth to their characters. And I know I'm a straight girl, but even *I* will admit that Kate looks f**kin' hot in that tight costume w/ her guns blazing! (And, to top it all off, she's British!) I was so excited to hear that there would be more movies to come. Love to all you other vampires-at-heart out there.
P.S. Does anyone else besides me think that it would totally kick ass to be able to just jump off of a building, land on your feet and keep walking?!
Posted by: Mel on January 16, 2004 12:08 AMi think they should make a seuqel to underworld
Posted by: Daniel wagner on January 16, 2004 09:56 AMMel- I love how they're so nonchalant about stepping off buildings *L*
What do you guys think: Selene could kick Trinity's (i.e Matrix) ass? Selene is my new hero.
Posted by: Skye on January 17, 2004 04:53 PMHEY EVERYBODY, HAVE A QUESTION. OK BASED ON WHAT RAM QUOTED FROM THE BOOK ABOUT MARCUS'S EYES BEING BLACK AS HE WAS AWAKENED BY THE SCIENTIST BLOOD, IF MARCUS IS NOW A HYBRID, DO YOU GUYS THINK HE WILL BE LOYAL TO THE VAMPIRES OR THE LYCHEN? ANYWAY A KICK-A** MOVIE!!!!! KATE BENCKINSALE IS SO HOT! I HATE THAT SHE SMOKES BUT IN ALL ACTUALITY SHE COULD BE SMOKING 4 CUBAN CIGARS IN ONE HAND AND A BLACK AND MILD IN THE OTHER AND SHE COULD BITE ME ANYDAY!
Posted by: rich on January 18, 2004 06:00 AMUnderworld truly is an amazing movie, every aspect of it just seemed better than the last. But one question to all of you, if you could find the time. Would anyone happen to know or have located a picture or pictures of Rigel? I was just wondering....
Posted by: A.C. on January 18, 2004 11:01 AMRIgel is the one shot with the ultr violet bullet and nathaniel was the vampire smirking as selen walked by. Nathaniel was a lookout to make sure no other lycans came..
Posted by: Ram on January 18, 2004 01:37 PMI am stuck watching the mivie every night i know all about it and if anyone wants to talk about it or have pictures of LUCIAN please send them to me i am at Gurrrrait@aol.com
Posted by: ERIKA on January 19, 2004 10:17 PMHate to be a downer, but how much you guys missed in the movie is horrible. Everything you say you got in the book that you didn't get from the movie... well... its in the movie. The xtra vamp nathaniel fighting raze in the subway? well you see him as a look out before the fight, after the gunshots you see him run down, and when raze reports to lucian, he says they were ambushed and says by 3 vamps... do the math. Also the whole marcus not a hybrid or not... come on now, we've all made it past the 3rd grade!! Viktor saying that he was a direct decendent of Corvinus... a dead give away. As far as the lycans needing an untainted source, that was for their research, b/c they wanted to make a hybrid out of the most powerful lycan and an extremly powerful vampire (lucian + an elder).
As far as the talk goes on about a sequel. There are rumors of not only a sequel going out, but a prequel too. Also That guy who said something about, "beat the vampires on their own ground"... he needs to figure out that plans don't always work. THey were planning to strike the Covens during the awakening ceremonies (their own ground), yet due to Kraven's treachery being found out early, the fight came to the lycans... i'm to lazy to type out the rest of the mistakes I found. So next time instead of making yourself look stupider than you need to be when posting stuff like that, just AIM me at UPSlad26, and i'll straighten you out, and fyi just be more perceptive and save yourself the cash instead of buying the book, they are one in the same, just that the book writes out the details instead of your eyes having to find them in a picture. Try some where's waldos if you need the practice.
found the link to confirm the sequel, check it out

Posted by: Colin on February 3, 2004 08:43 PMI was just curious who has actually heard that there is positivly gonna be a sequal? People have been sayin that sequal is about the vamp and Lycans History and how it all came about, and tons of other stuff but there is no actual page that says what it is about! I would like there to be a sequal Underworld was great and very detailed when i 1st saw it i did not get alot but as i saw it a 2nd time i got all of it i was not really payin attention the 1st time, But now i get it all!! I watch it alot to see if there is anything i missed but there is none, and i watch it For cast reasons (Lucian) I think craven was an OK actor but as bad as ever1 says...He fits the part of a bad guy so that is all you need to know, He is gonna be in the second 1 right? (if there is one)I think there is going to be the war sceen you know the all out war with vamps an lycans And Lucian should be in that one to right? well i am takin up 2 much space as it is so peace.
Posted by: Unknown on February 5, 2004 11:01 PMI WENT AND BOUGHT THE MOVIE BECAUSE IT LOOKED INTERESTING AND FOUND A REAL SUPER MOVIE. KATE IS SO HOT I CAN'T SEE HOW THEY FILMED HER WITHOUT BURNING UP THE SET. AFTER WATCHING IT SEVERAL TIMES THE ONLY THING THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT LOOK BELIVABLE WAS HER MACHINE GUN PISTOLS. WHERE SHE WAS IN WHERE MICHEAL WAS CHAINED UP AND SHE WAS SHOTING THROUGH THE WALL AT THE LYCANS. THAT WAS SO ULTRA FANTASTIC. I'M WAITING FOR THE SEQUEL HOW EVER LONG IT TAKES THEM TO MAKE IT.
Posted by: jimmie on February 7, 2004 12:13 PMI absolutely love the movie and really can not wait for Underworld 2.
All the actors are great!
Posted by: Solari on February 8, 2004 07:32 PMI have seen this movie 7 times in 5 days and all i can do right now is beg for a squal and i know there is going to be a pre.
Posted by: erika on February 18, 2004 06:32 PMAccording to an article from Variety the Underworld sequel is due to start shooting this fall. Len Wiseman will direct again and Danny McBride is set to have the script completed by early April.
Posted by: Leopoldo on February 25, 2004 08:32 AMSO is there a sequel already in motion or not, someone please just answer me this?
R.E.
Err... did you read the post I made above? Yes, there is a sequel. The script is due to be completed in two months or so, shooting starts this fall.
Posted by: Leopoldo on February 26, 2004 04:01 PMWell, I may have to eat crow. Not 10 minutes after that last post I did some searching and found that Variety is not as reliable a source as I thought. It seems one of the Underworld writters is denying the reported fall start date:
Entertainment-Rewired.com : Writer denies Underworld 2 production start
Posted by: Leopoldo on February 26, 2004 04:13 PMI really hope they make a sequel to Underworld, because, I just can't stand thing about what is going to happen to Selene..I hope she'll be alright, shes cool. :)
Posted by: jwalsh06 on February 27, 2004 01:34 PMHey fella's what do you think. Would it be cool if in the sequel they divided into three sectors... the vampires, the lycans and then whoever stayed loyal to selene and they had a three way battle. I dont know just came to mind.
Posted by: Dickenson on February 28, 2004 01:34 PMUnderworld is the best movie i have ever seen. And in all seriousness Kate Beckinsale should have gotten an oscar for her performance. She nailed every line. If you are writing something like that, you might wonder, will these lines actually work, and Kate MADE them work. She really is gorgeous too. Yeah she is english. She went to a school near my house actually. And apparantly she doesnt just smoke - she smokes like a chimney. But to be honest - if i had to get cancer cuz i was married to her for 20 years i'd take it without hesitation.
I'm not kidding - this is So much better than the matrix, it is even as good as Blade runner, and better in some bits.
The have to make a sequel. Underworld wasnt a massive hit - i mean not enormous - but in a few years people will consider it to be a masterpiece and it will be menitoned as such.
I'd really like to talk about the film with other fans - so use my e-mail address by all means...
jacen83@yahoo.co.uk
I hope this thread isnt dying - no one has posted for a while.
I thought Kate's ex Michael Sheen was superb - he didnt over do it - and when he sees Kate and Scott kiss - his reaction is really moving. Yeah - craven wasnt as much a stand out performance, but he was great as the sort of cowardly politician anyway. Actually he was one of my fav characters untill he killed Lucian. By the way - did you guys catch the twist that will have Lucian in the sequels. When Raze drops the Emilia blood syrninges, it must be assumed that when Lucian woke up, he found them there and injected himself - so now he will be a vamp/lycan, and the silver nitrate may not have killed him at all. I hope he is in the sequel anyway - he was fantastic - i cant believe Kate dumped him, thats a bit harsh - but then she got him the job too, and it might boost his career.
By the way, do you think Selene will fall in love with michael - its got to be an empire strikes back movie. I mean that IS the best sequal of all time so following that wont be a bad move. Besides, they have shown (wiseman and script writer) that they arnt worried about filling the potential of old ideas.
Posted by: Jacen on March 4, 2004 02:03 PMJacen, That is a very good point about Lucian and the elders blood....about how raze dropped it. In another room someone had said that and it got me thinkin......That is very very posible, Hell I would love it if he came back in the sequal as a Hybrid, But I think if the whole sequal is about the past and how the war all got started then he has to be in there right. It would really be a good twist don't you think! I don't think alot of people got that in the movie and if they did they have not said anything. It would be good for the movie if Lucian came back because he was a really good actor and played the part very very well!
Posted by: Unknown on March 6, 2004 05:16 AMThis movie is perfect... what other word can describe it? Kate could not have looked more fantastic in it and the acting by Michael Sheen and Bill Nighly is top notch stuff.
I am so excited about the sequal it makes me sick! I was worried about Kate and others not coming back to reprise their parts but it has been confirmed that she's coming back (chorus of angels singing)! Sweet sweet news to the addicted fans of Underworld... But if they could make a sequel anywhere close to the Empire Strikes Back (my favorite sequel as well) I would be beyond pleased. But even if the movie looked like and was crap I would still invest lots of money and time into it, but I'm hoping for something really kick ass to come out of the sequel.
To sum it up... this movie rocks my world!
Bye the way, Jacen, I will e-mail you to talk about Underworld sometime.

Posted by: Leopoldo on March 11, 2004 11:51 AMyeah i heard len wiseman say something about the director's cut in an interview so that makes sense. I guess i'll have to go buy that! I'm glad they have Kate Beckinsale commentry, i got the impression that she was really missing in the last dvd special features.
Posted by: Jacen on March 12, 2004 03:31 AMI'm happy they are coming out with some new Underworld stuff. I'm really looking foward to the deleted scenes and the new commentary. I think commentary from the actors will probably be the most interesting to listen to out of all of them. Kate and Scott were pretty abscent in the regular DVD so I'm excited to hear that they are participating in this one.
It would also be nice if they included the deleted scenes IN the movie instead of seeing them outside of the movie, but I doubt they will be. Ohh Well... it's still good news to me
Just a word to that guy Colin who posted earlier. This is not a board to post on just so you can insult people about whether they read the book or watch the movie. It's not as hard as you make it seem to pick out information. I haven't read the book, and I was able to notice all the things you mentioned quite easily. So stop being so arrogant and trying to look smart when you're not. Post somewhere else and stop wasting our time.
Posted by: Strix Varia on April 21, 2004 04:38 PMC'mon, there's GOT to be a sequel as so much was left open for it. Plus, Kate in that trenchcoat, the wind whipping about her as she squatted atop that building. I must have worn my DVD thin just for the "back door" shot of her by now-- the wind whipping about tosses her coat up as she is squatting there, so you can catch a nice glimpse of just how tight that outfit is.
Plus,... SPOILER ALERT....
At the end of the movie when Marcus opens his eyes, they go "hybrid" black just like Scott Speedman's character did before turning into the hybrid vamp/wolf. The remaining elder, Marcus, would HAVE to be a hybrid, else it wouldn't make sense.
I'm so incredibly ready to see the sequel to Underworld. It's by far the best action/horror movie even made. My big regret though is that one of the writers-- he who also played Raze, the Lycan heavy-- was killed in the first movie. He was badass! I'd sell a few internal organs to be that built!
Posted by: Nicholas on May 4, 2004 06:30 AMWell, we know for certain that there's going to be a sequel. You can check out this website to see. It may be pretty short on details, but it can give you the boost of reassurance you might need, and there are some forum postings at the bottom for whatever discussions fans want to have.
They are scheduled to start filming this september, and release the movie sometime in 2005. Also, the title may not be Underworld II like we might expect. It's currently called "Untitled Underworld Sequel." I know I'll be sure to catch it on opening day just like I did with Underworld.
i loved underworld ... beckinsale looked so damn good!! ... and the fact that she kicked a lot of ass was a plus side to ... and there is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants!!
Posted by: Pam on May 25, 2004 11:50 AMDoes anyone have pics of Rigel and Nathaniel?? If u do could u please let me know. i would appreciate it. thank you!! my email is magic78577@yahoo.com
Posted by: Jesse on June 1, 2004 12:18 PMgreat movie send me some general stuff
Posted by: david srianni on June 1, 2004 06:25 PMI don't understand why there is question that Marcus would be a hybrid. Why would he be? Maybe I missed something in the movie-could someone explain it to me? Besides the fact that his eyes turn black. Wouldn't he just be a vampire? He's an elder-why would the vampires make him an elder or not have killed him if he was 1/2 Lycan, especially the way Viktor felt about Lycans. Anyway, let me know.

Posted by: Leopoldo on June 8, 2004 05:13 PMAnyone have the figures for how "Underworld" did at the box office?
Posted by: Immortal Synn on June 10, 2004 12:44 PMThe financial information for Underworld can be read at:
IMDB Business Data for Underworld (2003)
Budget
$23,000,000
Opening Weekend
$21,753,759 (USA) (21 September 2003) (2,915 Screens)
£1,487,839 (UK) (21 September 2003) (348 Screens)
Gross
$51,970,690 (USA) (11 January 2004)
Good stuff.
Perhaps their advertising budget will be larger this time around. MOST people I've watched it with on DvD (whom all liked it) had never heard of it before.
Posted by: Immortal Synn on June 10, 2004 01:27 PMAlso, since (for whatever reason) I ~love~ talking about this movie so much, if anyone would like to IM or email me about it; you're more than welcome to.

Something I'm curious to: how did Viktor turn Selene into a Vampire?
In most vampire movies/stories, any human bitten by a vampire becomes one. In this movie, a human bitten will die due to viruses transmitted from the immortal. It would be interesting to see them explain how the transformation is done, and whether or not these vampires are actually undead.
Posted by: Immortal Synn on June 11, 2004 11:38 AMFor Terilynn
Marcus and Michael are from the same bloddline. Marcus has the same virus that Michael does in his blood which would allow him to become a hybrid as well once infected with Lycan blood. Which is what happens at the end of the movie when the blood from the Lycan spills out onto the floor and into where Marcus is sleeping. They explain this during the movie but you have to pay close attention to it to catch it.
For Immortal Synn
No Selen said that a human bitten by both Vampire and Lycan would die. If bitten by only one they become what they were bitten by. Michael is different in the case that he carries athe dormant straine of a mutated disease from the Corvinus family.
Underworl made around 30 mil profit and everybody wants to do another why not totally begin as soon as it got done,anyways if anybody as the plot for the underworld book 2,i would appreciate you sending it to me @
USArmy1775@yahoo.com
plz put the subject,and if anybody has any news they want to talk about email me!
oh,and who will the leader of vampires(@ end of 1)what side will he be on?and who will Selen and her loverboy,whatside will they be on?
Posted by: Darth Elektra on June 11, 2004 08:44 PMDarth Elektra,
Selene already said that there would be retribution from the coven for the death of an Elder at her hands.
From that statement, it's fairly logical to conclude that it will be her/Michael versus the coven/Marcus.
Posted by: Immortal Synn on June 14, 2004 11:40 AMOkay. Thanks Saybreth, that helps. I know I probably missed a lot of the movie. I've only watched it twice and the second time I got more out of it than the first time. I just might have to go out and buy the DVD :) I am very excited for the sequel to come out. I love movies with vampires and werewolves anyway-but this one there was actually a story to it and not a lot of unnecessary gore. It was such a good movie.
Posted by: Terilynn on June 16, 2004 06:23 AMFor Immortal Synn and Saybreth,
Actually, when Selene tells Michael about being bitten and what happens, yes she says you die if bitten by both a vampire and werewolf. But she still says that anyone bitten by one single immortal will not survive more than an hour.
And regarding the transformation process: since death is involved in both cases, I would assume that the transformation happens something like in the Anne Rice novels. After the human is bitten, they must drink some of the vampire's blood in order to survive and change. This is only a guess based on the bit of information in the movie.
I would love to see them bring Carrie Anne Moss ("Trinity" from The Matrix trilogy) into this movie...
...perhaps as the new leader of the remaining Death Dealers.
Also, now that I think about it: Michael Clarke Duncan would make a GREAT successor to "Raze" on the side of the Lycans. Picture of him below:

Posted by: Immortal_Synn on June 23, 2004 01:00 PMSomething else I'd like to see the sequel expand on: the differences (if any) between vampires who are bred, and vampires who were once mortal
Posted by: Immortal_Synn on June 23, 2004 01:04 PMI'm with Ram. I think that the Lycans will take Michael and Seleen on their side since they were the ones trying to create the Vampyre/Lycan hybrid in the first place. But I don't really know about Marcus cause he was never shown in the film alive and talking so we don't really know if his attitude towards the Lycan/Vampyre hybrid is the same as Victor's. I'm sure he'll be pretty torked when he realizes it but I'm thinking that he'll probably fight for the Vampyres and I'm expecting a wicked kool fight scene between Marcus and Michael at the end of the sequel. But yea this movie is BY FAR my favorite movie and I'm all for a site outside of this one to chat about this movie. My Email is simpleplannumber1fan@hotmail.com and my yahoo messanger screen name is simpleplannumber1fan@hotmail or smurfman84036@yahoo or hotmail.com I'd like to get that book Ram. Whats it called cause I really want to read it. ok guys please email me cause i love talking about this movie.
Posted by: Jaren on July 4, 2004 03:12 PMAll I have to say is that if there is going to be a sequel, they definitely need to keep both Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman. They're both hot and are good together. It wouldn't be the same without both of them.
Posted by: andrea on July 12, 2004 12:12 PMI too wanted to know if there are any good pictures of Nathaniel. Email me with the pics at MrsHavokPuget20@yahoo.com
That movie kicked ass. Can't wait for the sequel, i'll have to see it opening day hopefully.
Posted by: Bella on July 16, 2004 12:50 PMhey i just wanted to say that this movie kicks ass.Im not bisexual or anything but Kate Beckinsale is really hott in this movie.She is the bomb.But it really does suck that she smokes and i hope she can quit.I LOVE THIS MOVIE.I heard that there was going to be a possible trilogy.If so i cant wait.if anyone wants to chat with me about this movie email me at yellowcardsurfur@yahoomail.com or on yahoo messenger my screename is yellowcardsurfurkb
PS. If Kate smokes like a chimney how are her teeth so white?
Posted by: kate on July 18, 2004 12:04 AMFirst of all this movie was wonderfule but one question. Will Selene and Micheal be together in the sequel?????
Posted by: Wanda on July 23, 2004 11:46 PMthe moive was grat but what r the hybrids powers?please tell me and does anybody now a web site that has dracula from van helsing when he's in his beast form
Posted by: peter on July 27, 2004 11:55 AMFirstly, I'd like to say, Underworld is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. =) Secondly, I'm also searching for -any- pictures of Nathaniel! Geesh, I'm always obsessed with the most minor characters, so if -anyone- has any pictures, please do e-mail them to me! (at neogreengoblin@yahoo.com if you will) I don't know what I'll do, but I'll try to repay you somehow if you get me Nathaniel pictures! =D Thank you much.
Posted by: Kristin on August 8, 2004 12:45 AMDear Strix Varia,
re your posting of 6/16/04. What's slightly confusing is when the lycan doctor was detailing the plan to combine the two bloodlines, they show him mixing vampire blood and lycan blood, the two destroyed each other. Marcus is a vampire, if he receives lycan blood, wouldn't that kill him from the inside...unless due to his ancester somehow it doesn't. The other thing is if Amelia is an elder like Viktor, how did she get killed so quickly. Viktor was incredibly strong due to his age (I guess), it took a lot to kill Vicktor, it's strange that she was overcome so quickly. I'm asking you as your postings earlier made sense to me.
Underworld was an awesome movie that kept me wanting more at the end. I wanted to know so much more about the characters, especially Micheal. Like, why did he keep to himself and seem like a sad guy, and if Marcus wakes up and is a Vampire/Lycan. I really hope there is a sequel to the movie because I am so ready for there to be one.
Posted by: Jennifer on August 18, 2004 07:28 PMi hear that will be a pre and a sequal is to much that i will like to know,the beginings of the war, for exemple the big battle where the vamps almost destroy all of the lycans, and the real story between victor and his daughtter and lucien.. is not much that ican say that is not already in this website but this movie rocks>
To "unknown" who directed their message towards me...
You're pretty much correct with the Marcus thing. It is because he was a decendant of the Corvinus clan that he can accept the lycan blood into his system successfully. Regarding Amelia, I'm assuming that even though she was an elder, she had not been trained as a fighter like some of the others. It seemed like they implied that Viktor was the head of the Death Dealers as well. And we could see earlier on in the movie inside the mansion that most of the vampires were just socializing, and there was a completely separate group (Death Dealers) that took care of fighting matters. I'm betting that Amelia was one of the non-combatant group. Hope that helps.
Posted by: Strix Varia on October 13, 2004 02:17 PMI think it's very cool that there's coming a seqeul of this movie, but the only thing is that I really like for the second movie. if there are (almost) the same figures that where playing in the first movie and not in the second one. I think that it would be less good then the first.
I just wanted to say that. my english isn't that great, but i hope that you know what I mean.

The beginning of this movie... Was the first step on... A... Painful... Arduous... Clichéd... Journey... To it's predictable end.
The only scene in the entire movie, which I appreciated seeing, was the opening sequence in which Selene is vigilantly perched high above the city streets. Your archetypal image of a modern vampire... Cool. From there. The poor attention to continuity, and the clichéd and linear plotline, and the devastatingly poor casting of roles (Craven and Viktor. The inept talent set to play them smothered the potential for these roles.) all helped this movie suck far more than it had any right to.
If there are to be extensions of this movie... Those untalented casting directors who are so willing to cast roles to untalented people, should be replaced by talented casting personnel, who can offer the roles to talented people.
Who knows, done properly, Selene/Underworld could garner a fresh cult following...
Posted by: Conrad on November 9, 2004 12:20 PMOk, so we've seen what you think of this movie.
Hey Conrad, why don't you include some absolutely fanstastic and flowing movies that you've created in your next post...
Posted by: Strix Varia on November 22, 2004 09:20 PMYou don't need to make movies for the ability to offer a critique. I have to pay to watch them... I'm the consumer here and I didn't get what I paid for. If you're trying to cite an argument that this movie couldn't have been done better then...
... I'll bail out now for fear of exchanging words with the easily pleased. :)
Posted by: Conrad on December 20, 2004 01:02 PMOkay I know we all have opinions about this movie and we have the right to express that, But do you really think that this is the place to bad mouth it,everybody in this room is in love with the movie. And did you think bad mouthing it would not cause a fued.
So don't get all defensive when someone is doing exactly what you were doing and expressing their feelings.
P.s. And please note that the unknown And me the Unknown Are two diffrent people. notice the capital U in mine.
