Over at MSN you’ll find the first official clip from Sony Screen Gems’ Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, which arrives in theaters January 23. It’s kinda hard to find, so just click over to BDTV to check it out. The clip from Patrick Tatopoulos’ prequel features Rhona Mitra and a little swordplay. UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS delves into the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires, known as Death Dealers, and the barbaric Lycans (werewolves). A young Lycan, Lucian (Michael Sheen), emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Bill Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has persecuted them for hundreds of years. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, the beautiful vampire Sonja (Rhona Mitra), in his battle to free the Lycans from their brutal enslavement.
