UNDERWORLD - 2 New Movies and TV Series in Development

IGN caught up with Underworld director Len Wiseman at New York Comic Con over the weekend and talked to him about the future of the Underworld franchise. If any of you are fans of these movies, then you're going to be really happy with what he had to say here. There are a few things currently in development.

The first thing is that Divergent star Theo James is set to reprise his Underworld: Awakening role, David, in a spin-off movie being developed. I assume it will be in the same vein as Rise of the Lycans, which could be cool.

Wiseman went on to reveal that an Underworld TV series is in the works, but he didn't clarify whether it would be connected to the movie universe or be its own thing. I would personally like to see it be connected to the cinematic universe.

Finally, the writer and director revealed that there is also another Underworld sequel in the works. The best part about this news is that it would also star his wife, Kate Beckinsale, reprising her role as Selene. There's no solid plan in place yet, but I imagine that we will see the spin-off film with James first, and then come back to the future to make a direct sequel to Underworld: Awakening, which left fans in suspense with an awesome cliffhanger ending that teased a giant end war, as well as Scott Speedman's return.

I've really enjoyed watching the films in the Underworld franchise, and it's so cool to hear that there are some projects in development. Hopefully they come to fruition. Out of all of these projects though, the one I'm most excited about is a direct sequel to Awakening. They really need to finish that story!

We had some time to chat with Len Wiseman and Mark Goffman about what we can expect from the Underworld franchise.
