Underworld 2

Underworld 2 Bites Deeper

Len Wiseman, director of this year’s hit vampire movie Underworld, told the Moviehole Web site that the upcoming sequel will dig deeper into the movie’s werewolves-vs.-bloodsuckers mythology. “This time we can expect more history about the vampires and the werewolves, which we weren’t able to do in the first one,” Wiseman told the site. “There’s going to be a bit of actual battle in the medieval times between the werewolves and vampires, with, like, armor-clad vampires on horses, kind of like Braveheart.”

Wiseman added, “It’ll play out a bit like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where the first 10 to 15 minutes of the film will be a prequel. We’re going to really dive into the Dark Ages, and then center some more on the modern day.”

Wiseman said the many of the first film’s cast, which was headed by Wiseman’s real-life fiancee, Kate Beckinsale, will return. “But also new cast, too,” he said. “It’s in early development, so of course we have no idea whom, but yeah, some new people will be involved.”
