Creature Effects Supervisor Walks Us Through the Creation of the ‘Underworld: Blood Wars’ Lycans
The fifth installment in the blockbuster Underworld franchise, the high-octane sci-fi thriller Underworld: Blood Wars (read our review), debuts on digital April 11 and 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray, and DVD April 25 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
Ahead of the release, Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive sneak peek at one of the featurettes that goes behind-the-scenes of the creation of the film’s Lycans with Creature Effects Supervisor Todd Masters! In it, we get to see him remote a Lycan’s mouth, while also explaining how difficult it is to put hair on a prop – each and every hair must be individually inserted.
Kate Beckinsale (Underworld franchise) returns as iconic Death Dealer Selene, more powerful than ever before. As the war between Vampires and Lycans escalates, Selene must end the battle that has raged for centuries, once and for all. Underworld: Blood Wars also stars Theo James (The Divergent Series), Lara Pulver (Edge of Tomorrow), Tobias Menzies (“Outlander”), Bradley James (“Damien”), James Faulkner (“Game of Thrones”), and Charles Dance (“Game of Thrones”).

The Blu-ray, 4K UltraHD, and digital releases feature the official Underworld: Blood Wars graphic novel, an animated rendering of the entire film. In addition, the Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, DVD, and digital releases of Underworld: Blood Wars include featurettes “Old & New Blood,” where fans receive an in-depth look at some of the returning characters as well as the new characters introduced in this film, and “The Evil Evolved,” where fans hear from Lara Pulver, James Faulkner, Daisy Head, Bradley James, and Tobias Menzies about the evolution of their characters.
Two additional featurettes on the Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, and digital releases include “The Evolution of Selene,” where fans can chronicle Selene’s evolution into the deadliest of all Death Dealers, and “Building a Blood War,” where director Anna Foerster, her creative team, and producers explain what it takes to bring the cutting edge visual effects and the underworld aesthetic to life.
Directed by Anna Foerster. Underworld: Blood Wars has a screenplay by Cory Goodman from a story by Kyle Ward and Goodman, based on characters created by Kevin Grevioux and Len Wiseman & Danny McBride. Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi, Len Wiseman, Richard Wright, and David Kernas produced the film.
In the next installment of the blockbuster franchise, UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS follows Death Dealer Selene (Kate Beckinsale) as she fends off brutal attacks from both the Lycan clan and the Vampire faction that betrayed her. With her only allies David (Theo James) and his father, Thomas (Charles Dance), she must stop the eternal war between Lycans and Vampires, even if it means she has to make the ultimate sacrifice.
