It's mostly about Lucian, Sonja(Viktor's daughter), and the events leading to war. Both are written by the same guy so I'm hoping another book is on the way. |
Since this movie is on its way has anyone heard anything more about that Lawsuit against the guys who wrote Underworld? They were being sued for stealing ideas from some Role Play company and using them in Underworld if I remember right.

Well, it was more than that. I just used "ideas" to be general. |

Thanks for the background story. If you've got more, don't be shy. ;) Also, check out the Underworld comics, which are great for further back story. The three issue mini-series gives you the lycan origin of Raze. I think Danny McBride also co-wrote these. Here is a Dec. 2003 article about the comics: http://www.comicbookresources.com/ne...em.cgi?id=3080 |

The second book (Blood Enemy - prequel based on the characters) was great too and gives you lots of history and detail. The writer Greg Cox said he picked the brain of Danny McBride (Underworld writer, producer, etc.) for all the prequel information so the continuity of the story flows very well.

Thanks for posting this. I guess I'll have to try to find it. |

I always had this fascination about pirates and what it must have been like in those eras. I only wish someone would make a pirate movie with the same dark atmosphere like Underworld but without the Disney franchise. :fart: |

Mullet or no, Bill Nighy is beyond awesome! I'm definitely looking forward to this even if he only has a cameo. :D
Is it just me or does Michael (Scott Speedman) look... odd? It's as if he's aging really fast or something. :hscratch: |
