This is going to be the bomb. And once again, Scott Speedman....

True. Forgot about that. So I guess that might be back when werewolves were still the daylight guardians of the vampires. That's cool.

Oh and I like Michael's new look. It's reminicent of what they intended him to look like in the first film (with a bit more feral look) but didn't manage to achieve.

But one of those pics looks a lot like how he looked in the first film. So I guess he goes back and forth from more werewolf like to more vampire like each time he transforms?

Actually, I was quite disappointed the way he turned out. I mean, half lycan-half vampire...you would think the combined creature would look a little more bizarre (for lack of a better word), but the resulting species (the one we saw in Underworld) seemed uninspired and unimaginative.

That's why I like the re-design on Michael. Sure it's not bizarre but if you look at production art (I don't recal if it's on the theatrical cut DVD or the extended cut DVD) Michael's hybrid form was supposed to meld the feral look of a Lycan with the sleek look of a Vampire. It looks like they've returned to that idea but leaned more toward the feral.

I gotta be honest, I couldn't care less about The Hybrid/Michael. I'm in it for Pure Werewolves, Kate, and Pure Vampires. That's it.

I just hope that, unlike the first film, this one is actually good.

The Underworld Evolution trailer should be out soon (possibly attached to Saw II).

Also, Factory X has a couple Underworld prop replicas coming out early next year:

Sword of Victor:

Those are cool.
Definitely reminds me of Deuce Bigelow, in particular, the male prostitute in the beginning of the movie with all the weapons on his wall.

The message boards on IMDB indicate that the teaser trailer will be attached to Doom tomorrow.

I have a deadbeat roommate who loves the movie (maybe as much as he loves Elektra and The Grudge). If Underworld 2 is good, he might not love it as much.

It looks pretty good and I am really excited. I just hope they don't overuse the CGI.

Trailer looks alright. Don't know about the winged creature though. Just reminds me of Van Helsing (which I've never seen, btw, only the trailer) for some reason.

That trailer was pretty cool. More footage than I was expecting for a teaser trailer. I thought the flying vamp looked pretty cool. And the lycans look WAY better than they did in the first one. I am getting really excited for this!

So far the teaser looks awesome. But I'm surprised to see Alexander Corvinus (Derek Jacobi) in present day scenes. I thought he was only going to be in the flashbacks. Seems interesting that he'd be in exile thanks to Selene.

This looks quite good. I liked the music in the first trailer better (I realize it's the same song, but it had more of a hardcore feel in the first one), but I think the CGI looks quite good, especially considering the budget. I hope the story remains interesting throughout the movie, then I think this will do quite well.

Saw the trailer last night with Doom. It is very obvious that they spent more money on FX this time around, as it seems to promise more full on Lycans and Vamps fighting in the feral state as opposed to going at it with guns. Kate Beckinsale looks even more smokin hot this time around, and I hate the director of this series as I know darn well he took her home and pounded it every night during production.

Wow! The trailer is amazing. It's WAY better than the one for the first film (which gave me a "We're copying the Matrix, but with vampires and werewolves" vibe). I too thought there was a bit too much gun play in the first film and not enough hand to hand combat. It looks like that may be changed in this one. If so, then that's great.

Based on the trailer alone it looks like the sequels is going to be worlds better than the first film. That too would be great. I didn't think I was going to watch this in the theaters, but now I feel I have to.

Underworld: Evolution Set Visit - Part 1:
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/under...s.php?id=11677

I found this part interesting, "One of the oddest drawings was that of a rather unassuming ship, which we were told headquartered Korvinos and his crew, who travel the oceans keeping track of all vampire and Lycan activity."
