Okay, so I was bit disappointed to hear that the original director Len Wiseman and star Kate Beckinsale of Underworld and Underworld: Evolution had bowed out of the next installment and it was being released in January of next year (January, where movies go to die).
But I changed my mind thanks to a recent Entertainment Weekly article on Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.
First of all, Kate is being replaced by the great Rhona Mitra (awesome)!
Second, the great Bill Nighy is going to cash a paycheck and reprise his role as the awesome villain! Fantastic!
Third, it's being directed by a French special-effects wizard: Patrick Tatopoulos. He's French. Amazing!
Apparently Michael Sheen is back (he is not just limited to playing biographical roles like Tony Blair and David Frost). It was on the first movie that his long-time girlfriend and the mother of his child Kate hooked up with the director Len Wiseman (who she is currently married to). I suppose it's no accident that he's on board for this installment and the other two aren't.
Can't wait!
