Underworld 3: The Rise of the Lycans
The film traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires known as "Death Dealers" and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor, the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Sonja, in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.

8.01.07

6.10.06
Creator Len Wiseman spoke to iFMagazine recently, where he answered a couple questions about the film. When asked about what fans can expect, here's what he had to say: "The third film is going to be a prequel. It will be the origin story and we find out things we didn’t know about Lucian; he’ll have a much bigger part in it. It will be about the creation [of the races] and what started the war. It will be a period piece. In terms of the writing, a lot of the writing has been done. We’ve been developing UNDERWORLD 3 for a while. I won’t be directing UNDERWORLD 3; I’m just going to be producing and writing."
According to earlier reports wife and actress Kate Beckinsale was supposedly not going to have a role in the film, but it looks like she may return as Selene after all... "It will be in the time period before, but it will overlap into the creation of her as well. We’re in the process of seeing how far we go with that."
5.24.06
Actress Kate Beckinsale spoke to MTV recently, where she revealed that she won't be returning as Seline in this film, as she believes the storyline will actually take place before her character comes into the story.

We like the movies perhaps the movies you love i hate.
But it doesn't mean i'm bashing it on a site of the movie.
So go rent some old 'The Howling' movies and their lame ass sequels and leave the Underworl series to those of us who like the change of pace that Underworld and it sequels /prequels offer
Good Hunting ( to those who look for folks like you wandering in the dark of the full moon)
Also Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen, Kevin Gevrioux who plays Raze will all be in the movie!
Hopefully the writers will rethink the script and rewrite some sections to make room for some more of the original cast to return, or at least have a cameo! I want this to be as good as it can be, but there needs to be some more thought put into it's production if it's going to even mildly compare to the greatness of the first two!
Good Hunting
No Selene, no Soren, no Kraven, doesn't sound like much of a prequel. I have other things going on in my life, and maybe that's coloring my opinion right now--but half of the 'story' seems to be 'missing'.
I just hope this 'prequel' doesn't tank at the box office, and ruin both the chances of a much desired sequel to Underworld: Evolution, or the reputation of first time director Patrick Totopoulos.
Good Hunting
Found another website for Kevin Grevioux.
He has his own studio now, DarkstormStudios.com. he has several comics/graphic novels he working on and is very involved with comics in general. You can probably contact him through there--I sent an e-mail, and it seemed to go through. I also gleaned his home address off the
whitepages.com site. I won't post it here though I don't think he'd appreciate that. But if its public records then everyone can do their own search and I won't feel bad.
