IT’S OFFICIAL: KATE BECKINSALE IS BACK FOR UNDERWORLD 4

It’s official: Kate Beckinsale will return as Selene for UNDERWORLD 4. It was rumored for awhile there and I actually thought it had been made official, but apparently it hadn’t and now it has. No word yet on whether Beckinsale’s hubby Len Wiseman (who directed the first two UNDERWORLD pics) will return behind the camera, but it is known that Sony is going 3D with the new installment. Beckinsale in skin-tight latex in 3D? Yes, please!

John Hlavin wrote the script for the new installment with a rewrite from genre vet J. Michael Straczynski (who you might remember from his work on BABYLON 5). Early word is that the script will revolve around Selene’s daughter and that the studio is on the lookout for an actress. Other than that, not much else is known.

Though it is safe to say that we’ll all be ignoring the fact that RISE OF THE LYCANS happened. Still not sure how anyone thought a UNDERWORLD pic without Beckinsale was a good idea.
