I really liked Underworld when it came out.  I remember not being able to see it in the theaters because none of my friends wanted to see it and at the time I wasn’t going to run out to the theater by myself to watch it(things are different now, and I thoroughly enjoy going to the theater by myself every now and then, but that’s a different story).  Alas, when it came out on DVD I went to Blockbuster to rent it, and it was out.  So, it became one of those movies that I wanted so impulsively to see that I just decided to buy it.  Turns out it was a good pick up (ultraviolet was a bad pick up lol).  I sat down, ordered a large pizza for myself, and picked up a six pack and went to town in an old fashioned Erick movie night.  I thought it was great the first time… and I would watch it again if I had company who haven’t seen it.  Then Underworld two came out and I was less impressed… But this forkin thing sounds, and looks like a really cool premise, and I’m excited to see how it goes.  Here’s the new poster for the upcoming “Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans” thanks to Alex at Firstshowing:

To recap, Rise of the Lycans is a prequel to other two films, and details the history around the centuries-old feud between lycans and vampires. Mitra plays Sonja, Viktor’s daughter, who falls in love with Lucien (the eventual leader of the lycans), played by the very talented Michael Seen (of The Queen and Frost/Nixon). Sonja’s decision to be with Lucien combined with an uprising among the vampires’ slaves causes an epic battle, replete with fangs, fur, blood and rain. It’s going to be great!
