The Next UNDERWORLD Sequel Is Called UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS
Screen Gems has announced that the fifth installment of the Underworld franchise will be titled Underworld: Blood Wars. Kate Beckinsale is set to reprise her role as Selene in the dark new adventure, and there's no doubt that it's going to kick some ass because all the Underworld films have kicked ass.
Oh yeah, I also already got to see some footage from the film at CinemaCon! If you've enjoyed the prior Underworld movies, then this one is going to be a real treat. The footage we were shown was loaded with action and Selene is preparing for a new war. She sets out on a journey to find a special blood which will make her invincible.
The movie is being directed by Anna Foerster, who is a talented cinematographer and director of TV series such as Criminal Minds and Outlander. Some of her cinematography film work includes Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and White House Down.
Here are some additional details on the cast and some of the new characters that we'll see in movie.
Theo James (The Divergent Series) returns as Selene’s ally David, reprising the role he played in Underworld: Awakening. British actors Tobias Menzies (“Outlander”, “Rome”) and Lara Pulver (“Sherlock”) take on the respective roles of a formidable new Lycan leader and a fiercely ambitious Vampire, and Charles Dance (“Game of Thrones”) again plays Vampire elder Thomas. Rounding out the film’s stellar international cast are: James Faulkner (“Game of Thrones”), Peter Andersson (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), newcomer Clementine Nicholson, Bradley James (A&E’s upcoming “Damien”) and Daisy Head (the upcoming Fallen).
Underworld: Blood Wars is scheduled to open in theaters on October 14th, 2016.
