Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - Pics! + Synopsis
Screen Gems has released some new pics for their upcoming film that will be the third in the Underworld franchise titled, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.
This is one of my favorite vampire/werewolf series of films and though Kate Beckinsdale is not in it, Rhona Mitra is just fine. I have always liked her and I am glad to see her doing more film stuff. The film is scheduled to be released on January 9, 2009.
The films stars: Rhona Mitra, Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen, Shane Brolly and Steven Mackintosh. It is being directed by Patrick Tatopoulus, who was the special effects supervisor on the first 2 films.
Synopsis:
The prequel story 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 (Sheen) emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Sonja (Mitra), in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.
