I know I have seem to have been a bit absent of late on here, I apologise for this. I have just read this news on ComingSoon.net's Facebook page and I don't know what to make of it....thoughts on a postcard or just leave them as a comment below.
According to The Hollywood Reporter who reported this yesterday, that Kate Beckinsale has signed on to reprise her role as Selene in this fifth instalment of Lakeshore Entertainment and Screen Gems film franchise.
Also according to The Hollywood Reporter Theo James who was in the last Underworld 3D film who starred as vampire David who helped Selene and her daughter escape intergen labs who were "trying" to find a cure for vampires,-but if your a fan of these films like me you'll know that the head of these labs was a werewolf and that he just wanted vampires out with the werewolves coming out on top- during the purge as of the war between lycans and vampires had spilled out onto the streets and was involving humans, and also wanted to leave his coven after both Selene and David's father played by Charles Dance found out that the child was a hybrid-both vampire and lycan/werewolf-.
Anna Foerster will direct, she has previously been director of photography for "The Day After Tomorrow" this was the film with Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllanhaal having to unfreeze New York after global warming changes the earth dramatically with causing massive changes in temperature and "Whitehouse Down" this was the film which starred Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx with Channing Tatum having to protect the president from a paramilitary group as well as saving his daughter as IMDb puts it.
Corey Goodman wrote the script for this one although according to The Hollywood reporter the details for this are being a very closely guarded thing although what The Hollywood Reporter did manage to gleam from this was that the plot for this is said to focus on a younger generation of werewolves and vampires who are seemingly locked in a never ending battle between supernatural forces...so this sounds like to me that the writers for this next film aren't going to run with the set up storyline from the last film which was that Michael was alive going against what we the audience thought at the beginning of "Underworld: Awakening", and that he was the father to Selene's daughter and that they were going to find him as he had run off at the end of this film and as well at the end of this film Selene said in a voice over that vampires were going to rise again.
Now that I think about it, if Theo James is going to be reprising his role from the last film as part of a option agreement could that mean that Scott Speedman who played Michael in three of these films: "Underworld", "Underworld: Evolution" and briefly in "Underworld: Awakening" could come back to reprise his role?
Filming for Underworld 5 will start this October in Prague.
