Underworld: 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.

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.

- Actress Rhona Mitra plays "Sonja," Viktor's daughter and cause of the war between the Vamps and the Lycans.
- The director of the previous installments, Len Wiseman, will only serve as producer this time 'round.
- The film will be told through the eyes of the Lycans.
- Actors Bill Nighy (Viktor) and Michael Sheen (Lucian) return.
- Danny McBride (Underworld, Underworld: Evolution) wrote the script.
- The directorial debut of FX artist Patrick Tatopoulos, who has worked on the creature effects for the past two films.
- It's said that Kate Beckinsale will most likely not be in the film.
- This is said to be a period film that will describe the creation of the feuding races and what started the war.
- More info behind Lucian will be revealed.
- A prequel to the first film.
