Underworld: Awakening (2012) -- Beckinsale Returns

First Photos From Underworld: New Dawn

Currently shooting in Vancouver, a first look at Underworld: New Dawn has hit in the form of behind-the-scenes photos, courtesy of Vancouver is Awesome.

Though Kate Beckinsale returns to the franchise for this fourth outing, the woman pictured in the stunt harness below is her stunt double, tackling an armed leap from the Simon Fraser University Library, apparently doubling as an Antigen corporate building.

Underworld: New Dawn is set for release on January 20, 2012 and is being directed by Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein. Click on any of the photos below for lots more at the original article's author's, Susan Gittin's, Flickr page.

I'm very excited for this one! I enjoy all the Underworld series so far. Hope this one will be right up there with the rest if not better!

re: Underworld 4: Awakening

Although I know I'll see it (because I love this franchise), the plot for this movie sounds like complete shit.

“After being held in a coma-like state for fifteen years, vampire Selene learns that she has a fourteen-year-old vampire/Lycan hybrid daughter, Nissa, and when she finds her they must stop BioCom from creating super Lycans that will kill them all.”
Seems BioCom was renamed Antigen. Hopefully that's not all that's changed.

This sounds like a Resident Evil movie. Also, it's being directed by two people who appear not to be brothers. What's up with that?

I agree and I noticed that too. I got a resident evil vibe when I read that. And the fact that they making this sequel in 3D. Do we really need this in 3D???

I hope they don't make the Lycans into crazy creature monsters. One thing I like so much is how they kept it vampires and werewolves.

Beckinsale in tight leather in 3D?

You seriously need to question that?

re: Underworld 4: Awakening

So I never saw Evolution or the prequel but I've read up on them....soooooo...why is Selene in a coma-like state? Is this one of those "shit happened and just pick it up from there" kind of deals?

Wow, I'll see it. But I'm sorry that they seem to still have Vamps and Lycans fighting. I thought the events of the last sequel would cause more allegiances.

After a bad first movie, a horrible second movie and an even worse third movie can anyone truly say they look forward to this?

I would wring out the taint sweat from Kate Beckinsale's leather pants and drink it warm.

Plot of Underworld 4? Kate in tight leather and a corset?

I don't see what's so bad about the premise.

It's not like the Underworld movies were that great; they had really cool art direction, but the scripts came off like they were written by some "World of Darkness" nut with Asperger's.

I've gotta agree, that plot sounds laughably bad. I hate most movies where a teen is paired up with an adult, and something tells me this won't be an exception.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I thought the first Underworld was the weakest entry. I liked 2 more and I thought 3 was the best.

The first two are great fun. Silly popcorn? Absolutely. But fun anyway. The third was lame.

Agree with all of the above. The first two also look fantastic on Blu Ray.

Oh yeah, the first one is still a demo disc for me. The sound is unbelievable.

Yeah I wouldn't go that far either, I would let her squat over my face in her tight leather outfit and crank me a squeaky one which I would proudly inhale.

Apparently some of us don't agree with you on this. That's cool. I LOVE the Underworld series and books.

Really liked the first. The second I didn't understand, didn't work in terms of the continuity they established in the first. The third was shit.
