Rebooting this film already which is a little sad in my opinion, i wouldn't mind seeing the current movies continue. They were not great movies but they were not bad also.

It makes sense in that Kate Beckinsale is done with the franchise and presumably, so is Scott Speedman. I'd say that there's plenty of life in the current iteration of the franchise but it'd be impossible to tell without Beckinsale on board. The original is about 11-12 years old so it feels a bit soon, to me at least for a reboot. I think that the Twilight films have largely filled the niche Underworld once occupied which is a shame.

Looks like Theo James (he was in Awakening) is back

Ugh, a turd of a franchise getting a reboot. I wouldnt mind them rebooting Resident Evil and doing it justice, that's another godawful movie series.

It's been called Underworld: Blood Wars

Trailer dropped yesterday.

Say what you want about the series, but I found them all thoroughly enjoyable. They were never going to break any records, but they were enjoyable vampire action films. Complete leave your brain at the door films, great popcorn munchers. And Kate. Oh Kate. She's lovely, our Kate.

Looking forward to this, trailer is more of the same, which is good. Theo in there for the ladies. Everything a nice shade of purple-blue. Bring it on!

I was going to say she's looking well for a 43 year old women but feck me shes got a body that most 20 year old's would die for .

I found the films middling to good. My problem with the likes of Underworld is that while it makes an effort with Vampire/Lycan mythology, but then when the action starts you'd swear you were just watching any other action film.

It makes a gimmick out of the genre rather than fully immersing itself into it.

I'm still waiting for that truly epic series that is rich in the mythology but I'm afraid that for now that boat has sailed.

Is Michael and Eve in this?

went to see this today.

kinda crap TBH.

its just a bit all over the place and the CGI is dodgey as fuk in places . kate looks amazing for a 43yr old and the action is good to great in places.

but the whole thing feels a bit "cheap" or something , like it wasnt quite ready for release. theres nice ideas in it and it expands on the mythos of their world a bit but all in all its lost focus or something in the execution.

6/10 from me.

wait for the DVD yer not missing anything on the big screen and TBH i reckon its really more one for fans of the franchise than anything.
