Local teen mistakes ‘New Moon’ for ‘Underworld 4′

21 November 2009 6:51 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Though New Moon is already breaking records and is expected to be a mammoth success for its studio Summit Entertainment, not everybody is so enthralled with the love and devotion of hunky vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and his lovestruck girlfriend Bella (Kristen Stewart).

“I thought I was walking into Underworld 4. All my friends told me that the Cooper 7 was showing Underworld 4 at midnight and that tickets were going fast,” said Shane Fennigan, a junior at Crestfallen High School. “My friends were all ‘Dude, this movie has vampires and Lycans and it’s showing at the Cooper, you should go, nobody knows about it.’ I told them ‘[expletive] yeah!’ and I raced down there.”

Despite the long line of teenage girls at the theater, Fennigan was undaunted. “I thought that there was some discount for suburban goth girls or something. Or that vampires fighting Lycans were starting to catch on,” he said sadly. »

‘Underworld 4′ scores a writer, still no word on Kate Beckinsale

20 November 2009 11:03 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Underworld 4 still doesn’t have a star attached (no Kate Beckinsale (Underworld, Underworld: Evolution) or Rhona Mitra (prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) but it does have a writer.

Screen Gems has tapped The Shield writer John Hlavin to write the script for the fourth entry in the Underworld series. Want to know what Underworld 4 will be about? Keep waiting.

“I can tell you it’s not a prequel,” Hlavin said. “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.”

The 3D project is still without a director but is still on track for a January 2011 release.

Underworld 4 Gets a Screenwriter

20 November 2009 6:07 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

THR reports that former Shield writer John Hlavin will write the screenplay for Underworld 4. The fourth installment in the franchise is supposedly going to be shot in 3-D and will set up another trilogy of Underworld movies. Hlavin wouldn't say too much about the plot, but he did note that "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.

Len Wiseman, director of the first two Underworlds will produce, while neither Kate Beckinsale, who starred in Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, nor Rhona Mitra, who starred in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, are signed on to return. However, Beckinsale has said that she could be interested in returning if she liked the script.

Director Len Wiseman to End the World with Nocturne

10 November 2009 12:30 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Len Wiseman, the man who abused his blue-filter privileges for Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, will follow up 2007’s Live Free or Die Hard with an end-of-the-world flick entitled Nocturne.  According to THR, 20th Century Fox has picked up the project based on an original idea about a group of people who survive the end of the world and the mystery surrounding how they got to that position.  The project is currently looking for writers for what I have to say is not a bad premise.

As for Wiseman, his other potential projects, including the underwater military action flick Atlantis Rising and the futuristic war movie Shrapnel (why all the killing, Wiseman?), but doesn’t have a go picture.  Wiseman has been a non-starter for some potentially major films like a remake of Escape from New York and an adaptation of the popular video game Gears of War.

Len Wiseman To Direct Nocturne, Thriller Set After The End of The World

9 November 2009 9:55 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Len Wiseman has signed on to direct Nocturne for 20th Century Fox. We don't know much about this project other than the few little tidbits included in The Hollywood Reporter's announcement piece, so lets look at what we know: Post Apocalyptic: The story is set after the end of the world, and follows a group of survivors. The Twist: The film is about "the mystery surrounding how they got to that position" And before you think this is just another post apocalyptic disaster film, ala 2012, the piece mentions that the film is a "thriller." Original: The pitch is based on a completely original idea (ie not a remake, adaptation or sequel), and no writers have been hired to pen the project, but the studio is currently on the hunt. Who's Involved: Len Wiseman wrote and directed Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, and last directed Live Free or Die Hard. Wiseman is »

Joss Whedon’s Cabin in the Woods on Hold for 3D Conversion

9 October 2009 5:06 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

When we first heard about it, we were told that the Joss Whedon co-written horror film The Cabin in the Woods is going to be scary. We were later told that the film, which was co-written and directed by Cloverfield scribe Drew Goddard is going to be really, really scary. Now we're being told that it's being pushed back a year so that it can be converted to 3D. ShockTillYouDrop talked to MGM reps, who said that the studio has decided to push the film back from its original February 5, 2010 release date to January 14, 2011. They say that the early response to the film has been phenomenal and they'd like to take six months or so and convert it to 3D. Despite all of the red-hot buzz emanating from this project, this decision is still curious. For one, the film was not filmed in 3D, so the conversion to 3D (and subsequent delay due to lack of availability »

Check out the pics: ‘Underworld’ star Kate Beckinsale becomes “Sexiest Woman Alive”

4 October 2009 12:47 PM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

k

Whiteout babe Kate Beckinsale has been named 2009’s Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire magazine.

The 36-year-old British actress known for her roles as an arse-kicker in Underworld, Underworld: Evolution and Van Helsing (don’t discount bombs like Click and Vacancy) snatches the title from Halle Berry, who was named last year’s top sexpot.

[Check out the pics below after some pesky words along with a video from Esquire]

“This whole notion of being named Sexiest Woman Alive is going to earn me quite a beating,” Beckinsale said. “You can’t have that title with four brothers. I’ll get wedgies. I’m feeling that I must earn this – I need to go out and become much better at pole dancing or something.”

Beckinsale will starring in the comedy-drama movie Everybodys Fine. It opens wide on December 4th in the U.S.

Kate Beckinsale Suprised by News of Underworld 4

11 September 2009 4:25 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

News of a fourth Underworld broke nearly four weeks ago, much to the surprise of Kate Beckinsale, who starred in both the first and second installments. Underworld 4 is slated to be shot in 3D and will be the first of a new trilogy of Underworld movies, but when Collider asked Beckinsale about Underworld 4, she wasn't aware of the new developments:

God, three whole more! I don't think my daughter needs to see my bottom in rubber for another ten years. But I don't know, I've heard they're talking about a fourth one, but I don't know if that's officially happening or if that's a rumor. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a rumor. According to studio Screen Gems, it's not a rumor, especially after Underworld: Rise of the Lycans scored $91 million dollars worldwide, almost triple its budget. However ignorant Beckinsale may have been about Underworld 4, her return to the »

Battle of the bloodsuckers: Where Twilight ranks in the vampire film world

3 September 2009 6:37 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Hollywood star Lauren Bacall had some strong words to say on the vampire romance movie Twilight recently, if you believed the online reports.

It was claimed the actress wrote on her Twitter page: "I saw Twilight - my granddaughter made me watch it, she said it was the greatest vampire film ever.

"After the 'film' was over I wanted to smack her across her head with my shoe, but I do not want a book called Grannie Dearest written on me when I die.

"So instead I gave her a DVD of Murnau's 1922 masterpiece Nosferatu and told her, 'Now that's a vampire film!' And that goes for all of you! Watch Nosferatu instead!"

It's since been said that this Twitter rant is by an imposter posing as Ms Bacall. But is it right? Is Twilight that bad that enjoying it merits a whack around the head with a shoe? »

Kate Beckinsale to Return to 'Underworld 4'

14 August 2009 12:43 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

There is a chance that "Underworld 4", the first film of the proposed new "Underworld" trilogy, is going to see a familiar face with Kate Beckinsale rumored to be attached. Two sources have informed Bloody-Disgusting (Bd) about the 36-year-old actress' return to the series to reprise her Selene character.

If the rumor were true, her appearance in this fourth movie will mark her return in person to the series after only providing Selene's voiceover in the beginning and end of "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans". Bd noted that there is yet official confirmation from the people involved in the development of "Underworld 4" about her attachment.

In early August, it was reported that Screen Gems is moving ahead with a fourth "Underworld" film. The studio planned to shot the new movie in 3-D and is targeting a U.S. release on January 21, 2011. Soon thereafter, words were coming out that the studio was »

Underworld 4 is the Beginning of a New Trilogy?

11 August 2009 9:11 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Will “Underworld 4″ (expect the number to go the way of the dinosaurs and be replaced with an action-packed sounding subtitle) be the start of a whole new trilogy that will bring back the Selene character originally played by Kate Beckinsale in the first two “Underworld” movies? At least that’s what the guys at Styd are hearing just days after breaking the news that there would be a fourth movie. Besides being shot in the trendy 3D, “Underworld 4″ is being looked at by the studio as the beginning of a completely new trilogy. And I have to say, yeah, I can dig it. Even if it doesn’t involve Selene (or Kate Beckinsale doesn’t return), as long as it continues the storyline from “Underworld: Evolution”, it should be interesting. By the by, they’ve been playing “Evolution” on basic cable these last few days, and I have to admit, »

Not One, But Three More Underworld Movies?

10 August 2009 8:43 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

If you thought the news of Underworld 4 coming our way in 3D was a surprise, how about the idea of an entire new trilogy of Underworld films!

According to Ryan Rotten at ShockTillYouDrop.com, insiders have informed him that Sony’s Screen Gems is looking to launch not one new film, but three. Interestingly, the report claims that they’re looking at the story centering in on the character of Selene, played by Kate Beckinsale in the original two Underworld films.

 

Nothing’s confirmed yet, but bringing back the hot star of the first two is what many fans wanted instead of the Rise of the Lycans prequel.

Will this take place also before the first Underworld or will it follow her after the events of Underworld: Evolution? Could this mean that Scott Speedman will be back as well and we’ll get to see what happens with the characters »

Underworld 4 in 3D: Will Kate Beckinsale return?

10 August 2009 12:40 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Add together the current trends for vampires, werewolves and 3D filmmaking and you have the ingredients for a fourth film in the Underworld franchise.

Although clawed by critics, the three previous fantasy horror adventures have been stylish, enjoyable and well-received.

Fans will be pleased to hear that Screen Gems is now moving ahead on Underworld 4 with a view to a release date of January 21, 2011.

Shock Till You Drop reports that the movie will be shot in 3D, like Resident Evil: Afterlife.

All three previous movies have done well at the box office. Underworld, back in 2003, made $96m on a $22m budget; Underworld: Evolution made $111m on a $45m budget in 2003; and this year's prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans made $91million on a $35m budget.

Len Wiseman directed the first two, in which his wife Kate Beckinsale starred as vampire Selene, with Patrick Tatopoulos taking the reins on Rise of the Lycans. »

Vampire Girl Vs. Frankenstein Girl and Blood: The Last Vampire (Film Reviews)

30 June 2009 3:42 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Vampire Girl Vs. Frankenstein Girl is exactly what you’d expect from a teaming of the directors (Yoshihiro Nishimura and Naoyuki Tomomatsu) who gave us Tokyo Gore Police and Stacy: a supergory collision between schoolgirls and the undead that represents the zenith of extreme Japanese splatter satire. And it has arrived at the New York Asian Film Festival just in time to show up Blood: The Last Vampire, which opens July 10 and represents a nadir in English-language adaptations of Far East fright fare.

Both films detail what happens when a young woman with bloodsucking tendencies comes to a new school, which in the case of Vampire Girl is already a haven for all sorts of freaks, some of whom have formed their own clubs. There’s one group of coeds who have raised self-cutting with razors to the level of a competitive sport, and another bunch who take the »

New: U.S. Blu-ray releases for this week (12/5)

15 May 2009 9:47 AM, PDT | The Cinema Post | See recent The Cinema Post news »

There is a bumper edition of new releases this week on the Blu-ray format, although there isn’t a great deal of discs that we’d consider to be “must have” out of the bunch. It is however a great week again for Trekkies, as the Original Motion Picture Collection is now available featuring all 6 films in the series. Liam Neeson’s action vehicle “Taken” also hits the shelves, as does “Fargo” a Coen Brothers masterpiece. Also notable for release are “Big”, “The Grudge”, the first season of “CSI” and the utterly dreadful “S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale”. Check out our “pick of the week” and links to all of the new releases below.

This week’s pick of the week is a tie. We featured “Fargo” as a pick last week in the UK release list, so we have to stay consistent, but we also feel that “The Good, »
