It looks as if the Lycans and Vampires will be heading back to the Underworld. Word has it that Lakeshore Entertainment is moving forward with a reboot of the series and even have a writer hired. Get all the skinny after the break.
Lakeshore Entertainment has hired Cory Goodman to write the script for the proposed reboot of the Underworld franchise. Goodman wrote the script for the 2011 film Priest, starring Paul Bettany. Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi are producing.
I hear it’s not so much of a reboot as it is a continuation of the story line. I’m hearing the reboot will focus on the hybrid daughter of Selene and Michael Corvin, Eve, who was played in Underworld: Awakening by India Eisley. Time will tell if this story line turns out to be true.
The vampires versus werewolves franchise has grossed $458.2 million worldwide. The first Underworld film, directed by Len Wiseman and starring Kate Beckinsale, was released in 2003. Playing the strong vampire Selena made Beckinsale into a bankable action star, and three films followed in 2006 (Underworld: Evolution), 2009 (prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) and 2012 (Underworld: Awakening).
