‘Underworld’ and ‘Resident Evil’ Sequels Get Release Dates!
Kate Beckinsale returns as Selene in the tentatively titled Underworld V, which begins filming this October in Prague.
The Underworld sequel will star franchise vamp Theo James, and potentially focus on Selene (Beckinsale) and Michael Corvin’s (Scott Speedman) hybrid daughter, Eve.
Directing the movie is Anna Foerster, who did 2nd unit work as well as acting a director of photography as Roland Emmerich’s right hand woman on movies such as The Day After Tomorrow and White House Down.
Screen Gems has slated it for release on October 21, 2016.

In other news, Sony Screen Gems has announced an official release date for the tentatively titled Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the sixth and final entry in the video game franchise.
Paul W.S. Anderson is once again directing with shooting set for this September. Thus far, Milla Jovovich is returning as Alice, with Ali Larter reprising as Claire Redfield.
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter picks up after the events of Resident Evil: Retribution, as the Project Alice is forced to race against time before the villainous Red Queen attempts to destroy the final remnants of humanity. The 2012 Resident Evil: Retribution left off at our Nation’s capitol, with the zombie army attacking the White House.
Alice’s final battle with Umbrella takes place on January 27, 2017.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
