Writer Tapped For Underworld 4

Source:THR Heat Vision Blog
November 19, 2009


The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog reports that John Hlavin (who worked on FX's The Shield) has been hired to write the script for Underworld 4 for Screen Gems/Lakeshore Entertainment.

Here are the facts we know - Len Wiseman, who directed the first two films in the vampire-vs.-werewolf saga, is producing with Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg and Richard Wright of Lakeshore. No director is attached as of yet.

Kate Beckinsale, who starred in the first two movies, has not cut a deal to return to the series. However, she did say "I think if they came up with an amazing script I wouldn't be adverse to it," in our previous news story here.

No word on if Rhona Mitra, who fronted the third film, a prequel will return either.

While details are being kept secret, Hlavin did say, "I can tell you it's not a prequel. It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don't want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements."

We reported here that the studio was interested in carrying on Selene's next arc through three more films. Screen Gems has Underworld 4 (in 3-D) penciled in for a January 21, 2011 release.

So this will be the sequel of Underworld Evolution we all wait since the end of Rise of the Lycans? I loved Underworld 3 but i want a follow up of the second one.

Yes, it's a continuation of from the second movie with the Selene character.

They should have Michael and Selene fighting zombies in this one

i love all 3 too but i REALLY hope the story will focus on Kate again. and i refuse (at this point) to believe that this will be in 3D. in an interview w/ Kate for WHITEOUT over on BD she even said that the 3D thing was completely untrue. so fingers crossed!

So glad it's going to be a sequel. Here's hoping for the return of Kate as Selene and Speedman as Michael.

I don't think it's going to be in 3D anymore though, which in some ways is a good thing. Check it out.

They get Kate back, this will follow the pattern of the Resident Evil films and outperform it's predecessors.
