Underworld: Awakening 3D

After being held in a coma-like state for fifteen years, vampire Selene (Kate Beckinsale) learns that she has a fourteen-year-old vampire/Lycan hybrid daughter, Nissa, and when she finds her they must stop BioCom from creating super Lycans that will kill them all.

Official: Kate Beckinsale, star of the first two films, returns in her lead role as the vampire warrioress Selene, who escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species.

A second TV Spot has hit the airwaves for Sony Screen Gems’ Underworld: Awakening, this time showing us a monster Lycan that looks like a CGI version of “Station” from Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. Non, non, non heinous! I kid, though, considering where the franchise is; it still looks kinda cool.

After leaking earlier this year, Sony Screen Gems has finally released the completed one-sheet for Underworld: Awakening.

Selene Dodges Flamethrowers in Third ‘Underworld: Awakening’ Trailer

 Selene Dodges Flamethrowers in Third Underworld: Awakening Trailer

Sony Screen Gems is hoping to catch your attention this slow holiday season with more and more imagery of Kate Beckinsale in her skintight battle suit. This evening a third trailer for Underworld: Awakening was released that features more hybrid action and Selene narrowly missing flamethrowers. I’m also a pretty big fan of the first piece of footage that displays humans hunting down the infamous vamp. It’s a “new” look to the franchise. Maybe Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein were a good hire, eh?

If you enjoyed our Underworld retrospective posted yesterday, we’ve been supplied with a new video featurette that tells the legacy of the Underworld films leading up to the January 20 release of Underworld: Awakening.

I’m kind of not sure why this mystery is still being kept tight-lipped, especially considering Bloody Disgusting exclusively broke the story before Kate Beckinsale had even signed onto star. Either way, the first TV Spot for Underworld: Awakening gives us a look at India Eisley, a young girl who plays a vampire/Lycan hybrid. Originally slated to be a twin – maybe that will come into play in the next sequel? – this young girl is Selene’s (Beckinsale) daughter and is primed to take over the franchise. The new commercial shares a very good look at her, teasing a bit of that hybrid look. Cool stuff!

[Special Feature] Reflect Back On the ‘Underworld’ Franchise & Its Sexy Heroines!

 [Special Feature] Reflect Back On the Underworld Franchise & Its Sexy Heroines!

With Screen Gems’ Underworld: Awakening 3D hitting theaters on January 20, 2012 (which is just around the corner, practice writing that new year now so your checks are legit in a few weeks) you might be looking for a refresher on some of the events of the franchise. These films, believe it or not, have been going strong for almost a decade now – and since they focus heavily on the lineage of several specific families and clans viewed though the lens of a highly political war between Vampires and Lycans – they’re not 100% stand alone.

And one thing is certainly different this time as opposed to the prior outing – Kate Beckinsale has returned to the series, reprising her role as Selene. Also changing hands are the reigns behind the camera – the film is directed by Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein. It also stars Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, Theo James, India Eisley and Charles Dance.

Kate Beckinsale, star of the first two films, returns in her lead role as the vampire warrioress Selene, who escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species.

Selene’s Nearly On Fire In Latest ‘Underworld: Awakening’ Imagery

 Selenes Nearly On Fire In Latest Underworld: Awakening Imagery

What I don’t really like about the previous Underworld films is that they take place in an alternate universe, one that appears absolutely unrealistic.

I’d say this is the main reason I’m so intrigued by Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein’s vision for Underworld: Awakening 3D, the fourth film in the franchise arriving in theaters January 20. Every trailer and screencap place Selene (Kate Beckinsale) in what appears to be “our world” where humans are hyper aware of the vampire and Lycan lore, and are out to ensure their extinction. We’re also introduced to Selene’s hybrid daughter.
